Sometimes it just takes a pair of eyes that haven't been staring at it too hard.
Happens to me with my own code way too much.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
And of course *now* I can't get to our forums again. Bother.

I think that if I can get into WX again, I'm going to try to create a new Buffistas forum on one of the new servers, and then try to move our stuff off wc1, which seems to be the problematic one. I have no idea if that's even possible, but I think it's worth a shot. Any thoughts?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But be careful -- I've read reports that forums on WC3 disappear.

WC1 is being nuked soon, as it's causing the roblems. WX aren't allowing movement of threads - we'd have to suck the WC1 ones and create new.

The system put the new forum on wc0. It's here, and I've set up the usual stompies. Right now it's set so that only stompies can get into it. Now if wc1 will just cooperate at some point...
eta: Although with some fiddling, it turns out I could've put it on any of the servers.

Frell!! I was able to get into the old forums, but the system apparently won't let me move the stuff to a different server. I can move threads from one forum to another on wc1, but when I try to move something to the forum on wc0, it tells me it can't find the source thread. Double bother...

They are apparently (we asked) afraid of "contamination". Nope, me neither. We'll have to rebuild from scratch.

I suspected it might be something like that. I can see them being terribly gunshy at this point, but it should just be data that's being moved. The whole thing is very weird.

Okay, wc1 is down again, but I managed to download everything except the main spoilers thread and the Canadians thread before it started pining for the fjords. Otherwise, I think we have everything.
eta: And I was able to get the last two later on, so we have copies of everything.
Most are not perfect downloads, however. There's still a flaw in either the script or WX that makes it skip occasional posts at random. If anyone wants to take a look at that problem, please feel free. Of course, you won't be able to test it until wc1 comes back up again.
