Well it was up again last night
But very iratically much to my members disgust lol
Now as i type this its down again

I just hope its all because of maintenance
And the service is better because of it

Otherwise i may have to abandon ship to give my members
What they deserve a forum that is up more than its down
Come on jumpworld dont let us down now..

They got the db working again, but now their http server seems to be down. I keep getting a "cannot find server" error when i go to my site. I really hope its maintainance.

My site was having problems with the DB thing, I e-mailed their support, and within 1/2 an hour they responded "Fixed.".

Now they seem to be down...

I'm using my own computer for testing the scripts (that's what I was using jumpworld for anyway... ;))

I had seen them, signed up too, just haven't used it yet
I like jumpworld because you can create your own DBs, and have as many was you want, which I really need
