I changed language option english to japanese on "Torque Development Network".
Then DB error arrived and I never change it. The DB error is follows.

from within function "(hidden)". MySQL returned error "(hidden): (hidden)".

Please repair quickly this bug TDN staffs.

I don't think we are going to be able to fix that or anything DB related with TDN. The system is on life support, so we could not do anything that challenging unless we went to a new system.

Thank you for reply.
I don't understand that you can do nothing.
I couldn't change "option", never.
because the error arrive.

You should reset "option" parameter on DB.
Or you should delete my account on TDN,
then I will create new account on it.

I can't understand why do you use MediaWiki And
Why are there no full-time staff on TDN?

I do not have access to the database or the actual source files that control this. If I could get access to them, then there might be something I could do. However, TDN is extremely unstable right now. I'm afraid that any sweeping changes to the system or DB could take it down completely. I'm in the process of backing it up, so until then I do not want to make any changes to the underlying systems.

TDN was never meant to really be staffed. It was an experimental community project. The person who was in charge of maintaining it left the company and no one took his place. Now I'm looking into options for porting the good content from the old TDN to a new Torque wiki. Unfortunately, we do not have the manpower to do this yet.

umm..., ok, understood.

I understand the situation well.

I have just started using Torque, and community support is very important I think. It is necessary stability and reliability. If you want to adopt Torque game company, you will need to be strengthened in this area.

regards.

Here's the backup site. It's locked right now (and has the old customized skin that I did in 2009). I didn't run the IMG tag cleanup stuff or fix a lot of the external links (as evidenced on the home page).
