It all seems to be working fine now.

Hmm. I just tried again and got this same, identical error:

I just noticed on recent changes that somebody added an article about an organization of hackers that disbanded in 05, and the person who posted it claims to have been their former leader. Perhaps we've been hacked?

is everyone having the same problem? I have a couple of games at deadlines, and I just started modding a new game...

Same thing here, since first thing yesterday.

I get the same error, but it's slightly different in IE and Firefox.

In IE I get:

SELECT * FROM phpbb_users WHERE user_id = -1 Line : 135 File : sessions.php

and in Firefox I get:

SELECT u.* FROM phpbb_users u, phpbb_sessions_keys k WHERE u.user_id = 3527 AND u.user_active = 1 AND k.user_id = u.user_id AND k.key_id = '6be94cdc69054791f790ccfb7acffb37' Line : 88 File : sessions.php

I'm glad to hear it's not just me having the problem though, I was starting to worry that I'd end up getting replaced everywhere.

EBWODP (heh):

Just saw this on the new Wiki test thing (I stumbled across it by mistake when looking for this one - www.mafiascum.net/wiki):

"Forum status - Oh my... somehow the config table seems to have gone missing. I'll re-load an old copy. -JEEP

- ARGH! My disk drive is dead. I'll try to recover it tomorrow when I'm awake. I don't have a good feeling. -JEEP

There's some information in the Grey Labyrinth Discussion Forums, thread Mafia Games > Scummy-Doo Where Are You?

Should some add a link to this page from ther Wiki home page?

How about a status report on the www.mafiascum.net front page?

Argh!!!

Here's my new error message:

-- spectrumvoid 2006-10-30 14:54 UTC

Seems to have been a transitory error....I got it too, but now things are back up and working.

-- Mr. Flay 2006-10-30 14:07 UTC

---

I have still been getting that error sporadically.

I am also having a lot of trouble posting in games. I can only post 1 message a day. After that, I keep getting the 'you cannot make another post so soon... please wait a while' message. Even though my last post was a few hours ago.

Will anyone who sees this please let the mods of my games know? Or people like IH, SL, MBL, since I'm in multiple games with them. I'm having the same error message when I try to pm the mods. Thanks!

I'm suffering from mafia withdrawal.

-- spectrumvoid 2006-11-05 01:13 UTC

Phew. I thought I was being locked out of the forums AGAIN. It's really annoying when I can't get in with a couple of games in lyol, and everything thinking I'm scummy for lurking. It's also really difficult for me to catch up when I do manage to get in. *heaves sigh of relief*

Sorry for spamming this thread, I'll try to restrain myself.

"and donating would buy you any special status or anything, just my gratitude."

Think would = wouldn't. Glad to hear the update! I'm in the midst of exams now, so I'm really hoping it'll be back up when I'm done.

-- spectrumvoid 2006-11-28 01:14 UTC

This page and the front page (www.mafiascum.net) both need amending to reflect the fact that the forum is back up.

Deleteme tag

Oops, I tagged the page while I was logged out. It's a new page with lotsa links, that's the reason for deletion. Andycyca||me||What? 08:14, 30 October 2007 (MDT)

That's really bad news about the View All function being such a resource hog. I think people found it really handy for scanning the thread, even though it broke once you got to ~20 pages or so. Better to kill it than to let the site keep going down, though.

Also, this is of relatively little importance but the test wiki was acting up just now. Possibly related, as it was throwing MySQL errors, but it worked fine for about 15 minutes, and is back now. If you want me to stop editing here to conserve CPU, just say the word.

MafiaScum

whenever i go to log in, i get the following message:

Sorry, but this board is currently unavailable. Please try again later.

is this only affecting me, b/c i haven't seen anything in the Don't Panic wiki page concerning the site going down... yesterday, though, when i tried logging in, i got a message from bluehost saying the account had been suspended, and to contact the billing/support department ASAP... i'll keep checking in here since this is the only connection i have to MafiaScum at this time... + P.S. I also can't log in correctly to edit this page, but that's a minor problem...

MafiaScum - Wiki

ok, i finally found the regular wiki URL, and it is as follows:

http://www.mafiascum.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl

in the Don't Panic section, mith writes the following:

November 20, 2006 - Deactivated again. I've disabled the forum while we look through the logs again. Might have to switch boxes. More later. -mith

i've referenced it here for anybody like me that found the Mafia Wiki Test, instead of the regular wiki...

also i fixed the not being able to log in by signing up, duh...

Just a quick note that I'm seeing the forums down for the last few minutes:

Account Problem

Posting here as I can't post as a Guest on the forums. Tried clearing cookies and using different browsers and computers.

Created this account on the 4th of July, got an e-mail telling me to wait for activation. Nothing has happened yet and newer accounts since mine have been activated.

Tried e-mailing mith and JEEP to no avail (spam filters?).

This is my account (does not appear on the members list).

http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=7559

Hope someone is able to help me here, if not I would appreciate it if someone could cut and paste this message here into this thread [1].

Thank you,

Atheous

Edit: Quite a few other people seem to be having the same problem, "sam Cullen" "samCullen" "leech" "locke" "p3nguin" to name a few of the possibles. Maybe it is a general problem with registration.

82.29.224.65 18:17, 7 July 2007 (MDT)

Atheous has been activated. I don't think I got your e-mail, Atheous, when was it sent?

Which of the others need to be activated and which deleted (if any?) There does seem to be a registration problem. I'm looking into it today. Jeep 13:59, 9 July 2007 (MDT)

Thank you very much.

 Subject: Registration confirmation
 Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2007 14:00:03 +0100

The registration problem seems to have started on the 28th of June, as that is when the joining members drastically slowed, starting with http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=7485 on the 28th of June and up until today the 9th of July with http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=7621, that makes 136 attempts at registering with a lot of them failing, but I don't know how much as I assume a lot of them are not showing on the members list, including mine(I can log in). I imagine that there is much less actual people as a lot of them seem to be people trying different names to register as each attempt seemed to fail as far as they knew along with possible spam/bots.

You can delete member "Atheo" [2] as that was my second attempt at creating an account.

Thanks again, hope you get it sorted soon as I can very well see it being an encumbrance.

Me too

Hi, just adding a "me too." I got the error registering an account (username "gumbo") but got the e-mail stating to wait for activation. After waiting about one day and wondering how long it takes, found the discussion thread in the forum linking to here. So, yeah, add me to the list of people who need to be activated as well. The MySQL error appeared to be from it trying to retrieve the list of administrator's e-mail addresses, so I guess it never gets that and can't e-mail anyone to let them know that I need to be activated. -- Gumbo 15:30, 10 July 2007 (MDT)

Will let JEEP know. I assume this is the account name? -- Mr. Flay 20:55, 10 July 2007 (MDT)

That's right. Thanks! -- Gumbo 08:09, 11 July 2007 (MDT)

Me three

Hey, I've got a problem with registering, but it's not quite the same. Here's the error message I get:

We do not trust your reason we should believe you are not a bot, please try again.

DEBUG MODE

No reason we should believe.

Line : 741
File : usercp_register.php

Now, is this the error message that everyone's getting? The username I've tried to register as is "ChaosSilver" btw. Thanks in advance!

    ~Cap'n Crunch...er...Chaos.

Hey, sounds as though you didn't correctly fill out the registration form. You need to write something in the "Note to Admin:" section. Try again, making sure you fill everything out that needs to be filled out, if it still does not work leave a message saying so. Atheous 16:05, 12 July 2007 (MDT)

Oh, also, someone has left a message for an administrator to see. Atheous 16:21, 12 July 2007 (MDT)

Me four

Signed up as dotchan and got the first confirmation email, but haven't been activated yet.

I'm a real person! ;_;

Problem posted, check HERE for further information. POST 28 should be of interest if you do not wish for this account to be activated. Please post in that thread if you make another account explaining which one should be deleted.
Atheous 02:02, 13 July 2007 (MDT)

Account dotchan has been activated, courtesy of jeep.
Atheous 04:47, 13 July 2007 (MDT)

Me five!

Signed up once as destructor then again as cavodine when I thought it had failed. XD This is me: Link

Sounds like I had the same problem as many above. Some debug error. =/

Please activate the destructor account! =) Thanks!

Me Six

I signed up as charter and I got an email telling me to wait for activation, if you could activate it I would appreciate it! Thanks!
