It's been down again all weekend hasn't it? I'm starting to think it's my fault. Whenever I have a couple days free to work
on improving my modeling, BOOM there goes my best reference...

[BigDAS]

Right, let's all blame Mandella!

[apollo13]

Seriously, M6 is just...weird let's get a new forum provider. :P

[willy88]

I'm quite surprised Martin hasn't gotten a different host yet...

Is the problem of hosting a forum on the university server because of space, traffic, arranging it with staff, or what?

[tl8roy]

E) all of the above.

[Simonpro]

It's not on a university server. The only thing that is on there is the actual orbiter main page, which is still working fine

I guess you didn't understand the question. I didn't mean 'why is there problems with the forum which is hosted on
the university server', I meant more of 'why isn't the forum hosted on the university server'.

I'd guess it's because the orbiter forum isn't a particularly good advertisment for their university. I sure as hell wouldn't
want the orbiter forum associated with anything I do professionally. It's an even more difficult situation for a university
than it is for an individual, so I suspect that's why.

True. If i would own a spaceflight company, this might look different though. In that case i would not have problems hosting
Orbiter, even if its forum is not always the most lovely place in the web. Its a good and professional PR for a spaceflight
company (IMHO), as you get into the memory of those spaceflight professionals who like orbiter (and we exist 8) ), as well as
motivating young people considering becoming a spaceflight professional later in their life.

Sure looks good when reporting about a aerospace company.

I don't understand your reasoning for this statement. Why would the univeristy object website if it deals with science
and education? Anyway, guess what. It's down again!

[Zatnikitelman]

Working for me right now. But sluggish...usually when this happens, stuff hits the fan.

Last time the forum died on me, I kept getting "connection refused" from Firefox.
