Doomworld's Legacy idgames archive down?

[Wadmodder Shalton]

Was wanting to see what I can find on the idgames archive and recently I found out that Doomworld's Legacy idgames archive appears to be down, as it reads "Couldn't connect to MySQL database".

 

Is Doomworld's Legacy idgames archive currently down or is being restructured?

Got the same error, don't know the reason behind this, but I'm betting it's a lost connection of some sorts.

Same here, went to download more doom mods to play and getting the same message.

Yeah, it seems to be down. In the meantime, you can still access its files using https://www.gamers.org/pub/idgames/.

I'm sure they are aware of the issue already, but pinging the two admins (@Bloodshedder & @The Green Herring) just in case.

@Catpho Bloodshedder and TGH have nothing to do with Doomworld's frontend and vice versa. If anyone you should tag @Linguica

tired: actually informing the site staff when something isn't working

 

exhausted: this

The MySQL server is down. This can have any number of causes. So long as the server is still actually functional, it's likely a comparatively trivial fix. MySQL is a very reliable database.

Was going to write some more stuff but just checked it again and it's up. <insert holy grail rejoicing meme here>

Seems to work fine here as of 12.47.

[Biodegradable]

Working fine on my end.

Got scared for a sec but can confirm that it works here.

Is anyone still working on getting the kinks worked out of the "beta" DW idgames front end?
