Why are half the topics broken?

Rainbow Dash · 10-12-2010, 11:47 AM

I can't open some topics. For example, it never goes to the topic for CaptHayFever's birthday. This happened before in the Top 50 Members thread when Tazy broke it somehow.

***The Doctor*** · 10-12-2010, 12:16 PM

Yeah, same here. Couldn't even see the main forum list earlier.

Antisocial · 10-12-2010, 01:10 PM

The admins probably broke it during the forum overhaul.

Ha, ha. Irony.

**Loot** · 10-12-2010, 01:21 PM

It's fairly obvious who is to blame.

ACE.

***CaptHayfever*** · 10-12-2010, 03:48 PM

I want to read my birthday thread.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

This. He's breaking the forum ONE TOPIC AT A TIME!

At least now I know I am not alone; cannot access a large number of threads.

I have determined that all of the posts I cannot access have a time stamp between 4:30 and 5:30 am, Pacific time. Not sure if there is something special about that magical hour-long block of blacked out topics, but it could be a clue.

**Valigarmander** · 10-12-2010, 05:41 PM

Everything's working fine for me.

Fairlight Excalibur · 10-12-2010, 05:50 PM

Hmmm. The specific topics that will not open for me are

My sister is in the hospital.
What? Speak up, sonny.
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
Happy Birthday to CaptHayfever on 10-12-2010
The hardest, most annoying bosses ever

Everything seems to work fine, aside from those.

Dizzy · 10-12-2010, 06:20 PM

"Doing pretty mediocre in college so far." also will not open.

Zaden · 10-12-2010, 08:39 PM

Of all the topics that could lock me out, it had to be Red Lions.

I do hope this gets fixed soon...

Currently, I cannot access

THE ADMINS' MAD EXPERIMENTS ARE DESTROYING THE FORUMS!

YOU IDIOTS!

YOU BLEW IT UP!

YOU BLEW IT ALL TO HELL.

***Cosmonautical*** · 10-13-2010, 06:08 AM

Because you touch yourself.

Zaden · 10-14-2010, 02:46 PM

Thanks for fixing the topics, guys. I'm doing okay now.

Vgfian · 10-14-2010, 08:54 PM

It was me apparently.

SD sent me a message saying every topic I touched turned to broken.
The only thing I did recently was change my location. Once I fixed it back everything went back to normal. :/

Try to never put double parentheses with a bunch of slashes and past usernames in your location...

TOPIC BREAKER

***Ace Mercury*** · 10-14-2010, 09:01 PM

Were you the one that broke my thunderballs thread?!

I was very proud of my thunderballs, and I'm upset that their thunder was stolen.

Vgfian · 10-14-2010, 09:06 PM

I don't know that I even remember looking at a thunderballs thread, so I guess it wasn't me that broke it.

@Metal Man: Maybe, but if it was m location screwing things up then I fixed it. So I'm a topic fixer.

I can't help but think it is something involving my location paired with the fact that the admins are moving things around and changing things alot lately. Unless it wasn't my location being changed back that fixed it, in which case it is probably all the admins' faults.
