View Full Version : AFC Members...
Those of you here who are members on AFC (Armada Fleet Command) may have noticed that that site is currently down...has been for three days apparently. As an admin there, I don't even know what's going on. Another forum admin there also declared that he doesn't have any idea what's going on either. Kind of worried about that. Haven't seen the site down for that long before. Hopefully it will turn out for the best and AFC comes back up soon. If it was going to close, I'm sure we would have been informed by now, so that must not be the case.
Thank you for your attention to this announcement.

thanks for the head up I was wonder what was up over there
That is troubling news. I hope nothing bad has happened. If something is happening, and AFC is down for long term, I would like to offer all those AFC members a membership here on MSFC. If there is a way to contact them, we will take them in. We will keep a light on for AFC.
thanks i was wondering what had happened

Indeed. They are welcome.
Thanks Elrond for keeping us up to date as I was wondering what was going on.

Thanks for the update. I was wondering what was up.
If I could get into contact with some AFC members, I could direct them to a downloads area I have prepared, but I'd need to contact MajorPayne first to ask if that will be alright. Chances are, they'll come back, but if not.....
Maybe create a new one? Well that could be a a good idea but let's hope that AFC get online again.
afc is mad as they gave no warning bout the downtime also the site might be up in 24-48 hours so please be patent
sounds like itll be up again soon :thumbsup:
Good news, let's hope that be really soon! :)
Well it's good that someone knows something of all this. I'm glad to see that usually I'm left out of the line of what's going on... grrrr LoL

Wooh.. Its been a week, are you sure this is not a premanent thing.., i've heard of downtimes but a week.. seem's unlikely:thumbsdown:
Don't be silly, if the site was going to be perminantly down, MajorPayne, Elrond and Cecil would know. Also the site that host AFC is still saying that it does host AFC. This implys that it is a bug not a perminant deliberate closure.
Maybe they forgot.... :thumbsdown: NO!!!
It will be back :drool:

I had a problem with my server a while ago, which caused a lot of downtime, so it does happen and MAP and AFC would of also informed all the members about a closure if that was the case.
Thus we enter into the second week, and I've heard nothing from anyone yet. I get on MSN, no one wants to talk to me about it, so I figure, I'm left out of the loop about it. I know less about it than most other AFC members do now.
Maybe AFC is done.... :cry: :x :cry2: :thumbsdown: :drool:
honestly you are all being, no offence, stupid. I have spoken to Major Payne and he doesn't know whats going on. If the site was going to close perminatly he would no. This could be a varity of smaller problems.
YAY stupid!! :drool:
anyway I have played anymore any Armada game....

It was a server problem, these things do happen and are unavoidable.

:D YaY... its back up againg, see i was right all along:lol:
..im alway's right.
see In was right, lol
Exactly, been back up for a day now. I think we can sufficiently state that this topic is un-needed now...
According to certain sources within the AFC command they were changing the server they were running from and it ended up taking a bit of time for the transfere and set up.
I just love being a useless admin there while basically everyone else knows what's going on. Heck, I had someone ask me what was going on with AFC today, because it's down again, and my response, as is my response for EVERYTHING was, I don't know. Heh, I don't know ****.
I suggest that close the topic ythere is nothing to talk about now.
-----------------------------
:? Huh?? :drool:
AFC is actually down right now at this moment. It will be back up anyways, so I agree with Tib on this. I guess this topic is free for closing.

Your not useless I am mearly friendly with one of the most senior admins. Even they didn't know much more than I said though.
I'm not a popular figure at all. I'm the admin that gets blamed for everything that goes wrong.
All admins suffer the blaim, it is part of the responcibility.
Elrond... Don't beat yourself up over being "out of the Loop". I'm sure that it has nothing to do with your popularity among peers. It more of a communications failure between the staff. I would only suggest that All admins of the site work on that. If the site is going to be going down often during this upgrade period, then all Admin should be informed aa.s.a.p. I think you can blame poor leadership, not yourself.
If your not happy with how your being treated by your fellow admins, then you should let them know. If it's a communications issue, then maybe it's time to organize an alert system between the admins.
If the site goes down often and there are no answers about what's happening, then the site is letting down it's members. With any site, if the members can't get to it half the time because it's down, then soon they would stop going to it.
Since the site is still down, I will leave this thread open for now. Once the site is announced up again (and stays up for atleast 3 days), I will be happy to lock this thread since it's purpose is served.
I demoted my rank there to Commodore, to perhaps make it look as if I'm not an admin, so I don't share as much blame so easily.
I keep in contact with the other admins once in a while, but I think it's part my problem as i don't get on MSN enough to talk anyways...
At the moment, AFC is back up, probably has been for about a few hours at least. I hope to see it up longer hopefully. There are a number of server problems apparently. I don't really know what it is, all I know is that it's a catastrophe when it happens twice. One week is bad enough. Kinda scary. I'm backing up AFC's file lists and such to make sure that someone has a backup LoL.
That's a good Idea. Don't want AFC to suffer the same thing as SFM.
Well, just work on your communication issues with the other admins. That could help fix that issue. It's always a 50-50 thing. blame is 2(or more) ways. No need to "demote" yourself.
It was a logical choice. I don't post much anyways, and being in hiding at the moment seems a good idea. I figure I'm about involved in the issue as I'm gonna get, which is not involved at all, and I'll prefer it if I stay that way for a good long time. I could just remain a spectator as I have been. Building up walls between the admins isn't a good idea, but my opinion is that things would only be worse if I were involved. It's up to Mav and MaP now. Phantom and Porty seem to be out of the loop as well. I suppose it's not just me. I've been eliminating my involvement in online activities lately anyways. It isn't compatible with my new sleeping habits (early to bed, early to rise).
w00t: 400th post.
Elrond if you are backinup files I suposse you are getting first the most populars no?
ooh and WTH is SFM?
And Elrond if you are admin moderator is supossed that you go to have some responsibilty and to end the people cna blame you whit any reason, don't get angry, ****ed or anithing because that men.
SMF is a type of forum, like phpBB, vBulletin, Invision Power Board (IPB), MyBB, etc.
Anyway, my demotion to commodore on AFC is a way to keep myself away from looking like I'm an admin for the moment. I'm in supposed hiding.
Simple Machines Forums. It's what the Twilight forum used.

Ok. Sorry for being off-topic. AFC is up, the server company moved. Everyone on AFC probably received the same email I got that stated this.

Wrong, SFM is actually a site called Sci-Fi Meshes. Have a look on the front page for the link.
Sorry I thought he meant SMF. Wrong again no doubt about that.
Elrond = duh duh-duh

I got no email. I don't seem to get any emails from AFC, they have just started again today but for the last few months I got nothing, no emails about new replies even. :?

Isn't that a little ... stalinistic?
Heck yeah, and I love it LoL. The other admins are taking care of stuff more than I am so it's only fair. There is one other admin there who doesn't have an admin rank, but that is classified LoL.
Oh, I'm actually more like Hitler LoL.
Men I'm probably Mussolini... Off topic anyway
Again I think this must be closed now.

Josh, you just LOVE to commpare yourself to Hitler don't you? I've heardd it on Phoenix Alliance, I've heardd it here now. I jjust dare you to do it againn. I would say that would have to be a badd idea.
As for AFC, ur bllaming yourself for something you didn't do, taking blame for sometthing that wasn't even close to anything to do with you. As you said, their commpany moved the servver and that's all that hhappened. If you can tell me how that is yyour fault, then I'd like to hear thiss one.

This topic is no longer needed as the site in questions is back up and stable and there seems to be a fair bit of off topiness.
So the thread is closed until such time that it is needed again.
