Apologies everyone for the server and site's downtime!
Information
Unfortunately, our databases were having some connectivity issues. What does this mean?
- The forums must connect to the Databases to gather information such as posts, forums, users, etc.
- After connecting, the Databases send the information to the site to display to the users.
- If the site cannot connect to the Databases, no information can be obtained and the site is unable to run properly.
Important plugins that allow the server to run, such as AuthMe and HawkEye, rely on the Databases to get information to properly work the server. If this is unobtainable, many issues could arise, allowing the wrong players to log in (and do possible damage to the server).
