Do you really think that software that blocked me from posting the name of English author Charles ####ens on IA wouldn't block out the profanities in question without collapsing the the site? I also remember people posting the phrase "stop *itching", and "don't be *itchy" and a few forms of the ever popular a**. And those are just the ones I know of. I think you seem desperate somehow to establish this still unproven software meltdown. Why is it evidently so important to you that that be the case?
Patricius opened the floodgates to the Accordistas and they sank IA.
This is hardly the case. The one post that 'sank' IA (in reality Patricius or the software drained the water from the bath tub by pulling the plug) was by a virulent resistor.
Furthermore, the questions about k-gate etc are linked to the 'resistors' and their arguments.
So, if anyone is responsible for the problems encountered by Ignis Ardens, it is the resistors.
God Bless!!!
Nothing of the sort - as I noted earlier I made my posting (and there was nothing in it to trigger such a reaction automatically) and then a short while later <boom> the site was offline.
My assumptions were that:
1. The original poster lost it completely and was explicit.
2. Patricius, being in Ireland was asleep.
3. The forum software reached some limit and took the site offline.
It is quite possible that assumption #2 was faulty and Patricius has been watching the site and had just had enough.
Patricius had been notably absent for months from the forum, leading me to speculate the resulting offline condition as a result of a bot intervention.
If I'm wrong, it doesn't really matter. If it wasn't an automatic software event, then perhaps Patricius was up early one morning and decided to check the forum - found the argument and in disgust pulled the plug.
Either option is viable, and I don't have the time to delve into the settings of the IA forum to investigate further in order to rule out a programmed response.
God bless!!!
