"Do.Not.Upload.Now.txt"

So I was about to upload the PSX version of Sound Caulking to the /Idgames Archive when I noticed a very serious-business text file just sitting there in the uploading folder. It did indeed look very intimidating, so I didn't want to risk assuming it was just someone trolling about by uploading fake warning .txts or whatever.

So then a few days later, and it's still there. Odd. I tried looking up something about it -- anything, but to no avail.

And now I turn to you. In the words of Barry: "What is it?"

Please.Do.Not.Upload.Now.txt Wrote:

We are having issues with the incoming directory as fallout from
a system crash. Please do not upload anything until this message
goes away.

Your file will fail to upload and leave a 0-byte file as a result.

Email thldrmn@abydos.com (Ty Halderman) if questions in the meantime.

EWISOTT.

That's a shame. /Idgames is an important part of the modding community, the uploading being crippled is a lot like shooting a shark in the teeth.

(On the bright side, it may cut down on the /Newstuff Chronicles backlog a bit XD)

How long has that message been there? Maybe that explains why my Project Doomed hasn't shown up there.

Since New Years Eve apparently, which means uploading has been broken for a little while now.

Well, seems files are being added as of 01/15/15, and when I checked in Filezilla the .txt file was gone. I guess that means it's fixed, so upload away (?)!
