PTT Down again?!?

by Spunky · in ThinkTanks · 10/24/2004 (2:14 pm) · 41 replies

I keep getting this error when trying to go to PTT:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

/includes/coresubs.aspi, line 286

What's that mean? Is PTT gone?!?

It will be coming back.

Dan had to take it down to cut back on lag for the TT olympics servers. Unfortunately he doesn't know how to make it go to the nice "PTT is down for maintenance" screen like -z- does....

It's an assualt on Bravetree HQ!!!
marko.digiterica.com/ThinkTanks/BraveTree_HQ_ufos.jpg...or it could be Dan Mac upgrading to the new server today.
Not death-defying but certainly dramatic.

Yeah, I know it's an old thread. I just got the itch to post something.

Ya, which would you rather have? No lag on CTF and Survivor or PTT? Hmmm... That's a harder question than I thought...

PTT... But then, that's from someone who only spends a couple
hours a week playing and about 7 hours a week chatting. If it
was the other way around, I think I'd take the CTF.

I'm going to e-mail Dan Mac, see what he say's is going on. It's
not normal for PTT to be down for this long. Usually when he makes
a change like this, it's only down for a few hours. So far, it's been
down for at least 8 hours.

PTT and distribute the Survivor and CTF scripts so everyone could make mods for them and host them!!! But what's up with PTT? I'm worried, it's never down for this long... hope nothing went wrong with the processor upgrade....

Awww, guys!!! Look at the CNN photo above! BraveTree has some serious security issues to deal with right now.

For instance:
1. Should they use speedy powerup, bounceback, or area effect to drive off the enormous disembodied brains?
2. Is the brain in the foreground already dead? (It's pushing up daisies.)
3. Will anyone bring me a fresh drink?!?

HEEEEEEEEELP!!!! The people of Planet ThinkTanks drift away from the supernova that was once their beloved planet!!! The gigantic brains are WINNING!!!!! Only one person can stop them! Dan MacDonald and his Server Update. If He sucessfully installs this computer chip into the heart of our beloved planet, then it will be again!! He has approximately 10 mins before the supernova melts the server! HURRY!!! WE WANT PTT BACK!!

*looks at watch*
*checks site*
*9 mins pass*
*checks site*

How much longer are you going to make us wait?

I feel lost, and alone. Will someone PLEASE hold me tightly and whisper in my ear that everything will be alright. I need comforting.

I don't like being back in GG.... kind of like taking a wrong turn and ending up in a dark alley..... I am scared of what evil lurks in the shadows....

I don't like it here..... Hello?... hello?..... helllllooooooo

P-p-p-please protect me.....

I think it's down again.
I'm really depressed about this.
Everything here is just mind-numbingly stupid.
That makes me depressed too, since I have to post here.
I just tried to load PTT but... *pffftt*, nothing.
Now, please let me sulk alone.
I'm so depressed.


...Maybe a hug would help?

Strange, almost like the domain name for PTT got canceled or something... I think the PTT TT servers are down too... Maybe it's a power outage? Oh, sorry to inturrupt your skulking KBC, but are you sure that you can manage it alone?
