Official Orbiter forum down (again)

[KVodnik]

I can't reach the Orbiter M6 forum. Can anyone confirm this?

[GXE3]

Hold on, I'll confirm it right now

[GXE3]

The site isn't down. I just went on there.
Make sure nothing is going on with your computer

[KVodnik]

Weird, it won't load for me...all the other sites work fine.

[GXE3]

You could go to the orbiter main website and click the link to the forum.
If it doesn't work then... I don't know.
Good luck.

I'll bet it goes completely down sometime tonight (currently 19:10 local time) as it's starting to get slow and been a
week or two since it wet out.

I was about to say the same thing.

[Zatnikitelman]

Nothing yet, I forgot that it's only Thusday and not Friday (school holiday tomorrow, threw me off)

Still up for me.

Oop... looks like it just went down. [Oh... looks like it was just a little hiccup.]

M6 is down yet again...another fine example of their abysmal uptime record...

[Tex]

Down for me too.

[Tex]

I made a test Orbiter forum a while back when these things were happening... I did more work on it, you can see it
here:

http://www.f1racerforums.com/testforum/

What do you guys think? It's strictly a test forum so you wont be able to join, but if I did setup an Orbiter forum this
is how it could look.

[tl8roy]

Looks better, And more organized too.

I'm assuming it would have a better uptime then the current one.

The host forum its on now "F1RacerForums.com" has been up since Oct last year and was only down once for a few
minutes. No members ever complain that its slow either. I usually always here that its fast. Thats all thanks to the
hosting company I use, siteground.com PLUS the forum software is the best. I have to pay a pretty penny for the
license, but you get what you pay for. A secure and stable forum.

Why hasn't Martin gotten a better host yet? Does M6 have some sort of straitjacket contract or what?

Hi everyone! I'm pleased to announce the launch of the newest Orbiter community, Orbiter-Forum.com!

Home: http://www.orbiter-forum.com
Forum: http://www.orbiter-forum.com/forum


Orbiter-Forum.com was launched this month using vBulletin setup on servers optimized for vBulletin offering the most
secure and stable environment with which Orbiter users and space flight enthusiasts may discuss and share. When
you visit the site home page you will see the 10 most recent threads in the middle. Under that you'll find news about
some of the latest addon releases for Orbiter which I'll keep updated from various sites. Along the left side you'll find
the site navigate block, forum users online, forum stats, latest poll, and even a calendar. Over time I'll be adding lots
of content and features to the site. Live chat rooms have been setup which forum users can use to chat with other members in real time.

While visiting the site, be sure to check out the second style create 'Mars Theme' which can be selected from a drop down menu on the bottom left footer of the site or by clicking here:http://orbiter-forum.com/forum/index.php?styleid=3

I am already planning to add a Moon theme next, however if anyone has other ideas just let me know, I'd be happy to work with you to make it a better place for all. Another feature already setup is a forum Arcade: http://orbiter-forum.com/forum/arcade.php where members can compete for high score with other forum members at classic games such as pacman, tetris, astroids, and many others.

In conclusion this is a site that will be here for many years, members willing, forever! At the very least give a visit to
the site and see what you think. Obviously being a new forum it's lacking the most important thing....content and
members, but with your help I think we can truely make a great community addition to the Orbiter family! Thanks so
much for your time and I hope to see you on the forums!

It's going to be difficult to get everyone to use this new one instead of the M6 one, cause everyone needs to re
register, and other problems...

It just takes time. Any new forum takes time, more time, and then somemore time before it can be successful.
Without members and content it will be a slow going yes, but given time and the relibility of M6 (its down
again) I think Orbiter-Forum can provide alot to the enitre Orbiter community. As the site grows I hope to even start
hosting addons for Orbiter which you could only get there.
