   I just hit a IPS Driver Error... 4:15PM Standard MTN. Waited a minute or so and It's working fine.

   One thing I have noticed though is that browsing the site seems to get slower and slower.

   Sorry, I guess I'll make sure to take the stupid side next time. ">

   I'm really more upset with modders and their big mods that have no mirrors. That just seems obvious to me.

   But a free site with free mods goes down not even 12 hours and people are asking to open up another server or create premium temporary accounts? Just plain selfish.

   If your life depends so much on this site, you seriously need to find another hobby or game to play until its back up again. Go outside, take a walk or a bike ride, take a nap, do something.

   I agree with the second part of that statement. Patience is a virtue, no doubt. But I take exception with that first statement. Selfish? No. It's called quid pro quo.

   Many of the modders work really hard on their mods and host their files here in the belief that the site will not go down for very long. Users trust that they can access that work and provide the desired feedback. If that trust is violated, then there is a temptation to move elsewhere. It's a perfectly natural impulse.

   I trust the people who operate this site, but you have to admit the wisdom in having redundant sources for larger files. Why else would you have "mirrors" tab? If going down is SOP, then it makes more sense to have that redundancy, not less.

   Well, according to MY latin phrasebook "Quid pro quo" = something for something & what we have here is most definitely a case of something for nothing.

   Hence the strong feeling amongst many users that a few were being deeply selfish in asking that the site admins drop everything and open up the premium servers / create temporary 'free' premium accounts mid-outage.

   Do yourself a favour mate - don't use your intellegence to back a dumb argument & don't throw in latin phrases in the hope that they'll make your argument carry more weight.">

   Good that server works again. Now I can continue my downloads. Good job guys.

   As Klammy says: "Most sites would probably take a week to fix their server issues."

   True but certain cases it takes longer.

   Nice job guys.

   Appreciate the effort to get them back up. And the extra work you all put in because of it.

   Buddah was very prompt in answering questions. Top notch.

   Hey guys, thanks a lot. Most sites would probably take a week to fix their server issues. I guys addressed the situation immediately, and dealt with it. Thanks.

    Well, I must say I missed this whole outage with the server and all ... and I check this site almost every day. Gotta say, that's some pretty efficient fixing on Dark0ne's part.

    People who complain probably don't work in business environments where outages can last days and I've seen weeks(and even 1 MONTH!!). And we're talking corporate mail, services, applications. Stuff like that goes down, we're talking serious money. And it goes down often. Not a week goes by that something doesn't go down.

    But a free site with free mods goes down not even 12 hours and people are asking to open up another server or create premium temporary accounts? Just plain selfish.

    If your life depends so much on this site, you seriously need to find another hobby or game to play until its back up again. Go outside, take a walk or a bike ride, take a nap, do something.

    I love this site and its the best mod community I've ever been a part of.

    Good Job Dark0ne on getting things back up and running in what I find is a very respectable timeframe (given I missed the whole thing!) and to the moderators who maintain this great site.
