You could probably say that about neogaf and it would be right.

The neogaf situation was a mess. All I recall was seeing the owner apparently assauly someone and shut the website down, but I waited to see if it was legit or just accusations.

 

What the hell happened in the end?

Well, that forum had a healthy portion of sjws and said sjws turned on their own when the owner was accused of sexual assualt and how he handled the whole thing. The forum is dead because of the mass exodus of sjws. I got perma banned there for saying that sjws are eating their own tail like the ouroboros and saying that there's such a thing as due process, perhaps waiting on more info was the prudent thing to do. Here people don't get banned over saying that word or criticizing sjw antics. I get why you said that about here but it's the truth there.

It's kinda annoying. Seems like it's getting worse.

Can you be more specific?

I have daily issues sometimes with the site loading or being unable to connect to it. I don't remember the specific wording of the page that pops up when that happens. I'll put it here the next time I see it. Sometimes it keeps happening for an extended period, I would go to one of isitdown kinda sites to see if it's just me or the site. It says the site is down when I check in those situations.

Which site?  This one shows the last time was over a day ago..  (and problems from that time have been correct).

http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/vgchartz.com.html

 

Still cleaning up some code to work with the database change last week, but most of the issues from that have been resolved....  If you expereince any issues give specific date/time/page so we can investigate...

Yeah, that's the one. I only check there when it seems down for more than a bit, though. I'll add ya as a friend so I can just message ya or something when I see it again.

We need to ban half the users to ease the load. Can I be the one to decide?

So it seems my fears of it being a witchhunt was true. That's a shame.

 

Also, I'm a bit confused by the bolded. What statement are you referring to?

Doing some minor config changes shortly... Might see a few brief outages... should be seconds at a time, worse case minutes if something doesn't go right...

Resetera is afraid that VGC gets back on its feet, so they are constantly DDOSing the site.The only thing keeping VGC from being utterly destroyed is the brave efforts of Truck, Talon and jlauro, which protects us from these deadly attacks of those jealous lunatics!

Any explanation but this one is just a conspiracy theory ... Haters gona' Hate

Well, Nintendo fans are the most active here so you know what to do.
