Where is the thread "Impressions - Screenshots - pak96.comic for Simutrans" ?
Here: http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=4400.0 (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=4400.0)
There is nothing. Only a wrong link.
Isaac moved it somewhere, because there was some bug... the server stopped when someone looked at the thread. It was not the only one, there are maybe 3 of them. Nobody dares look anymore how many exactly :D
Yes, unfortunately when we moved the forum back to my server, load on the server would creep up and up and eventually the server would become unresponsive.
Investigation showed that there was a thread (I forget which) that was showing up numerous times in apache's statuses of webpages being loaded- basically, something was causing them to hang.
I moved the thread, load went down.
As VS implied/said, this happened with 3-4 threads; after that, it stabilized.
So unfortunately, we had to lose 3-4 random threads. :-(
Can you say, what is the problem exactly?
I will not do the self and make new problems. ;)
As far as I can tell, the threads appeared to be random. And since the last one was moved, things have been alright (well, until the recent troubles - but the recent troubles don't appear related to this - I checked for that).
Although I cannot promise anything, I do believe creating a new thread should be okay. I don't think it was the content of the thread, but random bad luck that something got corrupted or otherwise didn't fare well with the server transfer somehow.
These topics?

It makes me wonder: all these topics received tons of images that we posted at wild. Probably an attachment or a link is causing troubles to the forum.
