I got a dumb question. Has anyone bothered to use the mailing list provided at the main Orbiter site?

The last message here is from november of this year.



It's strange to see it run out of space, on my site a database of 5200 forum posts and 65000 chat records occupyes
only 8Mb.
Even rough approximation gives us about 200Mb for the 113000 posts on Orbiter forum.
Anything else that could grab several Gb's of space?


And both admins may be sitting under new year trees in their countryhouses right now, so just forget the forum
existed for a couple of weeks, and have a merry holydays!

I suspect this is the case. This problem just happened to come at the worst possible time imaginable.

I'm quite certain that contact with the admins will be restored midweek next week. Heck, even KSC is shut-
down. "Pegasus", the External Tank transportation barge arrived at KSC on the 27th with ET-124 and it still remains
onboard "Pegasus" because there's no-one at KSC that can unload it and transport it into the Vehicle Assembly
Building.

To my knowledge MArtin is at home and Radu is a bit too busy to be contacted. I'm quite enjoying not having the
other forum active, it's the first time in a year I havn't had a couple of the small minded fools from over there
constantly emailing me abuse ;)
I'm sure it'll be fixed on wednesday anyway, new year is possibly the worst time for anything to break.

Perhaps contacting support at M6 ? I mean, Orbiter is advertisment for them
as they give this space for free, but a forum that get hundred visitor/day and
that is down during several day is not what I call a good publicity...

As we have still no reply from Martin or Radu, most likely because of the holydays, I have contacted M6 support to see if
they can do anything.

best regards,

I hope it is nothing to do with the small unpleasantness that happened last month?

I doubt it, even I could've (probably) figured out how to get into orbithangar through a certain person's account. But I
suppose it is vauely possible thqt someone with way too much free time and way too little in the way of braincells
could've used their time to fill up the m6 disk space.
The question is: With what?:turning:

The two questions:
Do the admins know?
and
Is the problem more complex than we think?

Since we can't do anything, I say, politely of course, SHUT UP until it gets fixed or the problem is told by someone who
knows for sure...:blbl:

Once they realize it, it will more then likely be fixed.

In the meantime though. I'm sure Dan doesn't mind the extra company right here..  hehe.

Where can we donate beer, wine, whiskey, <enter your poison here> for the forum new year? The forum only has the only "add
image" option :)

if I don't post later Happy New year to you all, and spare a thought for people like me working over 12 hour shifts :drink:

fitted the heated seats, windscreen wipers, CD/MP3 player and most importantly coffee mug holders?

Seriously, is it the kinematics arm function by kwan3217?
