NZG not dead, just resting its eyes for a bit. Nice work Ab and co

BoyWonder · 30th September 2017, 15:53

Oh hai! And so you're back... from outer space.

reac · 30th September 2017, 18:12

Jesus! Was also thinking we might never be back. Well done all involved.

ZoSo · 1st October 2017, 13:35

Post on the new host!

Your off the hook

I was going to stalk you on facebook and say thanks for the memories etc.If you need a few more dinero for the forums let us know.

Good job all!

Is the nzgames.com landing page also going to be updated? Still has references to Paradise on it (and an SQL error at the top?)

Cyberbob · 4th October 2017, 10:15

NZGames has a front page???

It's barely been touched in the last 8 years, so i don't think it's going to start getting updated now. Barely any of the links on the sidebar still exist ;D

CCS · 4th October 2017, 14:56

I'm reasonably certain the SQL error was there prior to the recent troubles.

Ab · 4th October 2017, 15:23

I think that LordP connected the "news" page to the forums for some reason back in the day... to have a "currently active threads" list on the news page or something? So I think that SQL error is the news page looking for a connection to the old (paradise-hosted long-gone) forums db server and failing.

I don't think anyone has any admin control of the news page any more, so it's an orphan. I think I've managed to suck down an archive of the content but the clock is ticking and sooner or later the news page will get turned off when Voda realises it's there. I have control of the DNS of course and can point nzgames.com at a somewhere else, but I like knowing the news page is there. It's a weird little time capsule from a very different time.

Heresy · 5th October 2017, 22:19

great read Ab. Massive team effort to bring it back from the brink!

Also, first post since Dec 2013.

Well I guess this might be why I am late to the party.

Thanks Ab, and everyone that helped bring this site back up, and didn't just decide it was to hard. (I actually thought you guys all had an exclusive club and kicked me up).

Heh one of the first things I did when the forums went down was try all the sidebar links

Damn good to have the old haunt back up

Yeah also works for me. Don't know of any other site that has this...very handy.

Are you logged in?

Lightspeed · 18th October 2017, 01:28

It works on the index, but not the forum display.

Are you having the same issue?

Logged in. Cache cleared (I believe)

It only works when clicking the last post under a "folder".
So if I go to the main page and click the last post that is showing under Open Discussion, it works. But if I go into Open Discussion, and click the last post on the same thread it doesn't

Also New Posts don't work for me. It just comes back with no new posts. Even when there are.

Works fine from the index view, I have the same problem from the forum display view.

I don't have a problem with new posts.

In any case, I demand a refund.

Cyberbob · 10th November 2017, 12:06

Ya know I completely forgot that there may or may not be a subreddit for NZGames

https://www.reddit.com/r/NZGames/

It was to provide a platform for NZGames discussions, should NZG be down, and people aren't comfortable with the idea of having NZGames discussions on Facebook using their Real Name™ while we wait for the forums to be back up.

So yea, use that next time.

Lightspeed · 30th November 2017, 19:41

It seems some there's an archive or something that's searchable on Google right now?
