Nope, it doesn't look right at all. I think it's because it's me and it's trying to show me my profile in Editing Mode and something's broken there. However, when I log out and go to my profile it works fine. Other profiles other than my own worked when logged in as well.
I tried clicking on 'edit' on one of the blocks and I was able to change the profile style that way. A bit of a roundabout way, but at least it's working! :D
EDIT: Okay, it's not working again...bleh.

VB is a lot more resource intensive than you think. The memory upgrade was rescheduled, but currently we're using all the ram and some swap.
The server is an Athlon 64 3000+ (not XP). And with the bursts of traffic these forums sometimes get, I'd hardly call them small.

I don't call that a small website... you can't run it on a regular box anymore....

I keepo trying to get to old back-up forum... It gives me a 404 error and tells me it's an outdated page, then sends me back here.
How do you get to the back-up forum?

ERK left a link in the first post saying we could get to it from that link.
I was commenting on the fact that we can't.

Wow...this really kind of sucks. I'm trying to get new content for my game, but since the download section is apparently down I'm at a loss of direction. Would there happen to be an FTP backup page or something somewhere? The link supplied at the first posting is down; doesn't lead anywhere.
Maybe I can luck out by asking directly: Anyone know of a backup location for the Minkof's svbs?
As a side note: Am I right in understanding this down time is due to a host not upgrading enough? Perhaps a small host? Though it looks like ya'll have transfered systems enough in a lifetime, I do have a suggestion for a reliable host (99.9% uptime guarantee, OC-48 Backbone, 300GB online space, 3TB of bandwidth/month, nearly infinite DBs...great service!...). I love the host but won't post a link unless it would be wanted (I don't recall any rules against posting such a thing but I don't want to tick off an admin).

download section's down until erk re-enables/moves/does something to it. iirc most of the resources are in Resource Analysis anyway, so check there for newshits.
the "downtime" (i haven't noticed any, but i haven't been here very much lately so idk really) is likely caused by a combination of server load and shitcoding. or something. the box is being moved to a new datacenter AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE (dunno when) where it will (hopefully) be a fucking lot faster, as it will be backed by TWO (2) backbones.
seeing as erk is MIA and ccoa has no internet and they're the only ones who can so much as consider changing hosting or whatever, posting about an alternative host probably wouldn't do much good (also you're supposed to PM erk regarding that anyway). however speaking as a representative of rmxp.org's current hosts, i can assure you stuff is being fixed i think and hopefully things will suck less after the datacenter switch and whatnot.
more information/blah in the exciting next post !!

DOUBLE POSTING FOR A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT (please read this before posting anything else THANX)
The download manager being down is out of the host's control. That's something Erk himself has to enable, which he will do when he gets the time. As of now we (the hosting staff) have managed to fix some load issues, and things are generally faster now. Profiles might still be broken - this again is something Erk has to do, and something we cannot do. I'm not sure if registration works yet - again, admin thing. There's very little reason to access the backup forum, as you guys had ample time to back up whatever you needed from there and KNEW that it was going to be deleted at some point, so. There's nothing there that isn't here.
Everything that needs to be fixed will be fixed in due time. If you need resources check out Resource Analysis. If you can't register or validate or whatever, hang tight and everything will be sorted out eventually. Given the relative stress of a more or less complete hosting switch, coupled with the fact that one of the admins has no Internet and the other is busy with things beyond our control and, thus, out of our reach, I'd say that while things might seem bad, they could be a LOT worse. Thankfully they're not~
If you have issues regarding registration or whatever - you can't log in, you can't validate, your reset password request isn't being issued, etc. - post them in feedback. If you are going to say THE DOWNLOAD MANAGER IS DOWN, we already know this thank you nothing we can do check out Resource Analysis and wait for Erk. If something is horribly broken, the forums are down, something is CORRUPT, there are WHITE PAGES everywhere, or whatever, I'd strongly advise - and encourage - coming to IRC and pestering dZ (Ceroscuro) or shadow. Information on how to connect is HERE.
Everything is being sorted out. Cliches aside, it's true! It just takes a bit of time. Patience~
