Hm, where do I start?
For the past couple of days, the website has had a ton of CPU Exceeded Errors infested all over the place. This recent one was a major killer.
It turned out that the database for our site was inaccessible for many hours, and it strained the servers, and one or two database table for the forum got corrupt. It forced our host to shut down RPM completely, but one email reply later, it got half-fixed. The website and Oekaki is still running just fine.
The forum database is still saved and intact, but to make the RPM forum run in super-speed again, an ultimatum had to be decided on. Until my partner DZ can come up with a way to repair the corrupt data for the backed up forum database, the sad news is coming...
We started a clean new forum! D:
Since we still kept the past forum database intact, I will offer something for you all. You will be able to ask for specific messages that you have posted on the past forum, and I will be able to bring it back somehow, one post at a time. A "Request Topic" will be made on this new forum, where you can ask what posts that you want to see again, so that your precious data isn't completely lost. I'm kind and generous, that's my job.
Anyway, wait for an announcement if the past forum can be revived or not. Either way, we will bring back "every" important topic or post that we made on the past forum (including news posts) and make sure that things goes back to normal.
Oh, since we're trying to cut down on CPU power, the Art Gallery script will be gone, but as a replacement, we will bring all the artworks we had and put them up on a regular RPM web page instead. It will cut on the CPU power dramatically that way.
I hope I covered all the topics, but remind me if there's anything else that needs to be mentioned.
Welcome to the new forum!
