The site must have used a masterball on MISSINGNO.

i thought that too but i checked the release list on another site and it wasn't there

Yeah, weird. Also the IRC is down along with the RSS.

EDIT: RSS went back up

I was able to get on the forums by searching for "gbatemp down" on google
then clicking on the History of GBAtemp - WikiTemp. After that I clicked on
forums then this topic.

SO apparently only a few parts of the site are down with the main ones being
the homepage and the IRC server

Because of the instability this site has had in the past couple of months I
propose we establish a #gbatemp channel on a major IRC network to fallback
just incase the main one craps out on us and we don't have to be left without
a way to communicate.

I don't understand what do you mean by that...

Anyways, if you want a bit more technical explanation, then I can tell you that the number of users exceed the server capacity, a bunch of users clicked on the refresh button a bunch of times in some of the topics (namely pokemon black and white), or simply a mix of both.

It's not the first time the site when down. And when the site is down, it's mainly due to "popular" games that are released.

I checked DS-Scene several hours ago, and it says the games are out.

[Bladexdsl]

Pokemon is short for Pocket Monsters, their original name.
The EN release will be renamed to Pokemon

 

[Bladexdsl]

[iFish]

[Jan1tor]

Not back for me, I'm still getting the stupid error, but what the hey..........still got the important part--the forums.

 

[Randamin]

I'm still waiting for the IRC to come back up

 

[Raika]

For some reason I can't even view the front page, gives me an error. I can browse the forums fine though... I hope...

Oh and fuck Pokemon too, I hate Pokemon now, I love GBAtemp more.
