Major rom comes out, bunch of misinformed and mistaken kids come looking for rom.
Happens all the time, this site is easily mistaken for hosting roms.

I think most people are refreshing to see if Scribblenauts has been dumped yet. I can't imagine THAT many people are concerned about the Japanese Pokemon games...

lol, so a bunch of noobs are able to take the site offline, but no hacker seems willing to touch this place?
Ah well.
We just need to keep these noobs in check somehow, too bad we can't go out and harvest their souls to power a giant raygun.

If the page won't load, refresh the page, so it works perfectly.


THIS IS ON TOPIC, your the one going off topic here...


OP was asking what was going wrong with the site... it was even "off" for awhile because of people like YOU refreshing the pages... non-stop.

Pokemon is mainly the cause... every single kid comes here and refreshes the index page, over and over and over, waiting for a fix / download link / WHATEVER.

Wow, I see. GBAtemp.net is down for the while, and then comes back again.

As the rom name is posted here before anywhere else (generally). Once they have it here they can google it and get the torrent/RS/Direct link I suppose =/

GBAtemp should accept donations to allow them to pay a better server

Donators can be given special rights , like when you reach X posts, you can close own topics or something or a bigger PM box. Or even simple things like the "reason for edit" thing or the "hide that I edited this" thing, or allowing to use HTML (I would choose the last thing

)

Of course, donations are optional and the amount can limited.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
