The archives are down and many images are dead on various pages. Does anyone know what is going on? This question is probably in the wrong forum, but I don't know which one it should go in.

It's fine for me.

Slow, but it always is. Fine for me.

I hope it is just maintenance. They have some good interviews in the Archives and I link to at least one of them. I get a "The page cannot be found" error when I go to this page:

http://www.digitpres...es/arc00131.htm

And the main page for the Archive gives me this:

http://www.digitpres...hives/index.htm

I hope they fix the problem soon.

It's still down. If it's not back soon, I'll have to delete my links. That sucks!

I dunno what you guys are smoking, but it's running as fast as it usually does for me.

I finally found the forum this thread should be in:

Gaming Publications and Websites

I knew there was a place for this kind of thing, I just couldn't find it.

[Thanks for moving this thread. (Who was that masked man?)]

I'm not sure what is going on with their site at the moment.

If it makes you feel better, it's only the Archives. The rest of the site is fine. What's so big about the Archives? Am I missing something? :ponder:

There's some great stuff in there, including a great interview with Howard Scott Warshaw.

"Can I say great one more time?"
"Sure I can!"
"Great!"

I don't like to have dead links on my web site for too long if I can help it because that damages the experience for visitors, but sometimes web sites will go offline for days and there's nothing you can do about it. I hope I won't have to take down my links.

I was having problems with the entire site this weekend running really slow, but everything seems to be back to normal for me today.

They've installed a new pipe and server system, as it was being strained by the current bandwidth requirements. Hopefully things will be better now...

A lot of files were also shuffled over to a mirror site (videogamearchive.com, I BELIEVE, but don't quote me exactly) to lighten the bandwidth load.

That's good. All back to normal. For anyone who wondered what the big deal was, here's that good interview I hoped wasn't gone forever:
