I've been having problems getting on the site and the downloads. Is everyone else having the same problem? I'm not even sure this message will even go through. It started acting up last night and I wasn't able to get on at all.

It was slow as hell last night and timed out a few times but has picked back up and seems to be working about 80% at the moment,
Dont know about downloads as i have not checked them.

Yeah, it's still giving me problems.  I haven't been able to download anything today.

The slowdowns are apparently caused by the destruction of southern Taiwan, which blew up and sank into the sea sometime on Tuesday, disrupting Internet routing to Malaysia. I am currently giving consideration to moving the Phorum to the other server so that it be less likely to simultaneously die at  the same time as MATY.

There have been problems, I imagine due to the server location and the earthquake in Taiwain.  Hopefully, it'll be fixed soon.

How bad was the earthquake? Hope they get out ok.

Well, apparently it was largely uninhabited there and only two people died, which makes it somewhat of a nonevent.

Sad to hear about the deaths, and glad to hear it wasn't a bad one.

Gah, MATY's broken too at the moment :(

MATY is on the fritz due to the same Malaysia issue. I'm contemplating setting up a mirrorsite, but it will take longer to do that because the site has more content.

Glad to see the Phorum up and running again, sorry to hear about the earthquake though.  I figured it was a server issue.  On the other thought, I too am a leftie :p

The Balance has been restored.  I raided all the new booty and the site seems to be working even better than usual.

Thats great, while the booty is restored after Taiwan Peggy is down at the moment: pasted from front page:

IMPORTANT: On 26th,Dec, a powerful earthquake attacked Taiwan,breaking the undersea lightwave cables and then interrupting our routine services.(In the past few days,WE CAN'T CONNECT ANY OVERSEAS SITE-include peggysims2,and paypal,>_<).And the recovery-time depends on when the cables will get repaired.So we are deeply sorry for that.

Temporarily closed services include:
Member Account Activation ; Sims2 stuff Update ; Email Reply.

Notices:
1.You may still donate us as usual.And surely we will activate your account as soon as the communication recovers.(sure the delays will be added to your account )
2.The relatively updates will be uploaded once the communication gets right.
3.The activity of DISCOUNT will be postponed.And the new-made Close Dates will be delivered to you on another day.
   
 
  A merry Christmas and a happy2007

Yeah, I can't access the booty or MATY - sucks the big one.  I really wanted a couple of hacks from MATY - but I'll wait patiently.

Are others still having trouble downloading, or is it just me?

I'm sorry, but anything which inconveniences me in my "theft" is not a nonevent.  

Am I contributing to the old idea that left-handed people have problems with authority if I, too, admit that I'm left-handed?  And footed.  And eyed.

I've been having a bear of a time getting on this site... couldn't access it at all yesterday!  I don't care about the booty, and that seems to load fine.  I also have a tough time on MATY.  I said 'goddammit' a lot yesterday.

A good idea while waiting for this site to be available, find as many forums that you can, spread the word.

There are a lot of folks out there, that do not know about all the hot debates going on.

I'm a lurkity-lurker, for the most part.  I probably have a total post count of about seven between here, MTS2, S2C & MATY.  On the forum at my job, where I'm a "super moderator" & have been for about five years, my post count is around 150.  I prefer reading over talking.
