I haven't been able to log into either for about a day, I wanted to know if anyone else is having the same trouble

if not, can you please get me the admin email so i can contact them?

Thanks,

NaZ

Yeah, the waaagh's down for me too, has been for a day or too.

**Stelek**

The waaagh.com redirects to warhamma.com?

I guess somethings afoot.

You're entering it wrong.

www.the-waaagh.com/forums/index.php

edit: also, I don't know what's going on over there.

**Stelek**

Ah. Well never having been, I can see how I am a nooblet. lol

**blinky**

B & C has been down for a while for me too, like 3-4 days. I havent used the waaagh, but how long has that been down for?

**Greebynog**

About the same length of time, I have no idea what's going on...there's quite a few members of dakka who post there too, maybe one of them can shed some light?

**NaZ**

it made me wonder if they are running on the same servers. I was getting the same errors when trying to use their forums, then both sites went down within a few minutes of each other

It's a shame to see them down for so long. It really disrupts a community, and is an easy way to lose members.

Plus, when they come here for the first time, we have to learn 'em the rules REAL good.

**Platuan4th**

I wonder if they knew it was down since so many of them were at LA Gamesday.

The war between the loyal sons of the Emperor and the
Green Menace has extended into the warp!

Looks like the Draconian arm of GW striking down upon all the sites purely GW in nature... Perhaps I’m paranoid but I hope to deliver you from the tyranny of evil men.

Wait, is that a joke?

Is It? I wonder...

Augh. Brain. Hurts.

Must not. Explode.

/watches "special videos"

Ah....

**beefHeart**

Damn... no conspiracy here... move along, move along... I have it from a good source that both sites are on the same server and the man in charge is on Vaca...

well... it's either that or I can't see due to an eye injury...

My aim's a little off today. My bad.

**nkelsch**

:(

I have been needing my ork Fix! I did a bunch of magnetizing of my orks and am itching to share!

**beef**

B&C has been down for quite a few days, I need my SW forum., Its my home away from home.

*Music from chears plays in the background*

**two_heads_talking**

I'd imagine that someone just forgot to pay the bill. Having never used either site, it matters little to me..

**Pariah Press**

I don't think that's it. The B&C was returning database errors before it went down. I think something bad happened to their server.

**Hellfury**

I am kinda going in withdrawal.

I frequent both of those places more and more for fresh ideas I haven't seen ad nauseum here. Good or bad.

**temprus**

Warseer has a few posts from some of the staff of B&C. They said it was having tech difficulties that started Friday. The people that could fix it properly were either at LA Games Day or on vacation (UKer visiting Spain). They hoped to be back up today or tomorrow. There were a few other GW themed sites hosted on the same box and they are down too (DA Waaagh and DeathGuard.org were mentioned).

**BossBootFang**

I'm glad I found where some of the other refugees were hanging out. I live on Da Waaagh and Dakka, so at least I have one place to help keep me sane at work...

**Grimfang**

B+C "may" look different when it comes back up.

There are all sorts of places for refugees on the Internets...

Indeed.

But there is only one place where you could get banned for entering while wearing eye protection.

**usernamesareannoying**

i heard they were shut down for IP infringement at games day.

**grey_death**

Lots of hearsay.

I do enjoy B&C even if I'm not nearly as active there as I am here. But with the revamp of my marines still in progress, I did get lots of great feedback from folks there.

If any B&C Mods/Admins reading this have any info, feel free to let us know whats up!

Back when they originally did that to sites, they only could do it against websites which used registered trademarks in the name.

So is 'waaagh', 'chainsword' or 'bolter' trademarked by GW?
