Oh wow!

That looks alot nicer!

Is that a backyard? A basement?

One of the infamous kittens?

Lots of room!

[WhoGuru]

Yep! We have a fenced in patio/backyard and a huge cellar! Loads of space and it's gorgeous! We loves our new home!

LOL No they didn't! The one in the doorway in the middle is Mr Guru's younger brother and the other two are his friends. They were brilliant in helping us get out of that place!

News about nexus

Rage. Pure rage. The two file servers are currently down due to an utterly avoidable situation at my file server provider.

The down time will last at least 24 hours as all the files have been whiped and need to be synched back to the file servers from the UK servers; something that is prolonged by the slow transfer of the files across the Atlantic.

As the premium file server is now in the UK it is unaffected, but small files are still served in the US where the servers are down so even premium members will not have access to files less than 2MB in size. Apologies for that.

There is no issue with uploading files to the server at this time, and your file will be available for download as soon as the file servers come back up.

[InsanitySorrow]

Yup I heard and its terrible news, not much we can do about it though.

[The_Laughing_Man]

It seems the servers are now doing better.

A limited file service has resumed on one of the file servers while files continue to be restored. There's about 20G of the 200G or so files left to transfer, so hopefully by the end of the day service will have resumed properly along with the second file server returning to action.

I want to thank everyone for their patience during this period.

Update at 4pm GMT: I've had to bring the server offline briefly to finish the transfer. The server was so saturated with users trying to download that the original transfers had slowed to a crawl (a 1kb/sec crawl). The sooner I can get the second file server up, the better for everyone, so bare with me please.

[Si-Shen]

Atleast they are working hard to get the site back up to 90% again (I dunno if they ever qualify for 100% lol )

[InsanitySorrow]

I hope this is the last of their troubles for a while, I miss the old no problem Nexus

[The_Laughing_Man]

So this month D2D is having a speical. They have turned 5 years old!

So I pick a game and down load it...after that and installing I go to play...there is some script error. Then when I try to contact the games support. I wait a entire day before they even got to me. Then I am still waiting for them to respond to my answer to them

Lucky for me the D2D people are nice enough to give me my 5 dollar refund...however that does not include tax

Subtotal:

$5.00

Tax:

$0.37

D2D Store Credit:-$5.00

Total Cost:

$0.37

*Face palm*

[Arthmoor]

And that right there is why there's never a substitute for good old fashioned plastic discs

[WhoGuru]

Yep, I'll stick with my increasingly outdated discs thank you. Much more reliable.

[myrmaad]

I like outdated technology. I never get rid of anything if I can help it! I may no longer use it, but I still have it!

[The_Laughing_Man]

I will HOPEFULLY soon be playing Supreme Commander.

[InsanitySorrow]

My friend bought that and never thought much of it, I myself have never played it

[Si-Shen]

I dont really trust D2D or any similar method of game purchasing. I like to be able to hold the disc and such.

[InsanitySorrow]

I prefer disk too, though I have downloaded stuff like DLC but never a full game. Steam is looking like a good place for that now, but for some reason I have not bought anything yet. I think its having the shiny disk thats stopping me

[Si-Shen]

The reason I dont have the FO3 DLC Zetta is because its not on disc yet lol, the ONLY thing I ever DLed was some DLC for NWN 2 which was never going to get a disc release.

Nice sig IS.

[InsanitySorrow]

I don't mind buying DLC on Xbox Live, its the best way to get it becuase I cannot always get it on disk. I will have to buy the F03 disks for the PC becuase the Live service for DLC on there is crap.

Thanks, new style of sigs I have been working on

[Si-Shen]

Well there is a way to by pass the Live check and play offline (as if it was OB or disc) but the discs are easier.

Very nice, I saw the one you did for DR, very nice indeed!

[InsanitySorrow]

Why does everyone always think I create the sigs?, they are pretty much right but still....

Agreed disks are better

[The_Laughing_Man]

Update

I had a small issue with installing. it KEPT restarting its self. SO I let them know.

"Supreme Commander". Please consult your manual for support options.

Is what I get...

[Yevic]

Now thats what I call customer service!

[Si-Shen]

Because you made all of the last ones and you have a thread dedicated to sigs?

I can do crud sigs with photoshop, also created a few new FF battle scense lol
