It does that from time to time just try giving it a 5 min rest and starting on a new browser, like open a new one or refresh your browser... something like that...

Hell, not even 5 minutes in most cases. Just click the refresh button and it is usually ready to go then. Anyway, I think I'm gonna be level 15 in about 2 or 3 days soon. Just wanted to fill out my post more, lol.

I am RG's biggest friend

SANDERAIL!

In regard to the database problems: If it isn't one thing, it's another. I moved RG to this new host to get the bandwidth we so desperately needed, and it turns out their DB server sucks ass. Hey, believe me, we needed the move, or RG would shut down half the month, every month. But, this is what you get for $6.99/mo hosting. If you'd like to see a more reliable Retrogade, click our ads. The first $41.70 from that ad revenue is going to me, to make up for the six months of hosting that I paid for from my pocket. After that, we're saving money towards a new host in June or July. The more you click, the better RG will be.

I haven't been keeping a running tally, but I would bet a good amount of that is from me. I click the add on every page after every refresh or whatever. I think it really adds up, even those 2 cent ads.

copy the link of the ad and email it to some people. ask them to click the link and pass it on to everyone on their list. it should be much better, in case it works. after all, everybody loves chain mails.

LMAO. Yeah, because I don't filter those e-mails into the same folder that I filter e-mails I get with the text "Your a faggot" in them. Which seems to be filling quite fast right now for some reason.

always knew you save those emails ("you're a faggot" ones).
so, are you one of those tools who actually listens to whatever is writen in the email and pass it on or just ignore them and delete them?

I always read them of course. Then, I post in on forums that I go to all the time. I never listen to them, because they usually tell me to go suck a dick or something, and that, my good friend, would be cheating on my fiance.

what about the "send it to 100 people and you'll be lucky this year!" and all that brainwash that causes spam? i can't believe some people can be that dumb and listen to someone else's bullshit.

Attention Retrogade Users

Looks like z555 has finally listened. RG is temporarily down, while they are supposed to be moving us to a new server. At least, I hope that's why it's "suspended", and not because of the not-so-nice error messages I've been using ;-). RG should be back up and running in a day or two (I hope...)

oddly, i really hope it's a temporary down (because usually, i wouldn't care). rg has finally become fun, or at least not as boring as it used to be.
also, great timing. i was about to submit a new thing with my main account. guess i'm going to have to wait with that.

Well alright, I was hoping that they didn't get pissed off due to those email, cause I sent my own before I sent one of the premade ones and I thought that they might have been pissed and just cut off serviece. Hopefully they are just fixing the problem like you said ShittyKitty. I will keep looking to see what shape the site is in.

Hahaha, Honastly i think thats what happened. They got pissed at our emails, and they shut Bedn down lol, that would suck horribly though.

Hey Kitty, how much did you guys recieve so far? I've been clicking, but I'm not sure if i should keep it open for longer then 3 seconds lol.

Heh. They have most likely suspended Retrogade because of the hate mail and the funny 'not-so-nice' error message.

Suspend: To bar for a period from a privilege, office, or position, usually as a punishment: suspend a student from school.
To cause to stop for a period; interrupt: suspended the trial.

We've made $5.49 through Google AdSense (BBS topic ads), and either $4.27 or $9.62 through clixGalore. I don't know why I've got two very different numbers; I'm afraid the bigger one might include some empty accounts that won't pay out. So, we've gotten $9.76 so far.

Ah, but look at the second definition: to cause to stop for a period; interrupt. What better way to keep people from visiting the site while they move it to the new server, than to temporarily suspend the account?

</wishful thinking>

That's not to shabby considering that the most i seen that does a payout is 5 cents haha. I'll keep clicking them, and hopfully if i really get bored sometime, i just sit there for an hour just clicking away lol.

i didn't say it's your fault, did i.
seriously though, they totaly suck at handling the servers. i've had a decent ammount of errors in the past three days because of that. it's not really fun with the errors and everything they cause.

Damn. You are way too good for me, SK.

I suppose i should keep my fingers crossed, and like QF said, i keep clicking those ads. I remember yesterday afternoon i spent half an hour, in complete bordem, clicking the ad links for half an hour....0_0

Anyway, SK, did you get my E-mail, with the 'user database' banner/title sig? Didn't hear from you...

Sorry about that. Well, I'd have to test the banner in the page to see how it looks (which I can't do at the moment), but there's a potential problem: you used Chrom's pirate. I don't think we're allowed to use it anymore, and if we're using it in other places, I'm not sure why we haven't removed them.

yea, i went to do my usual clicking only to discover the finance troubles were graver than i had suspected, haveing the site been suspended and all.

Ah, yeah i heard about the little rumble with Chromius and what-not. Personaly, if i my characters and art was used around a good site, i would be delighted and honoured to have my work displayed as such. meh, many artists DO have there own accourds.

I could get rid of the pirate if you like?...or i could just from scratch lol.

To be honest, we really need another pirate, for use as a mascot. We've already got the pirate theme going on...

I have the perfect idea.

When and if RG comes online again, start a competition in the Portal for 'Pirates'. The chosen maker of the mascot gets 5,000 RG cash in reward.

And, because I made up the simple idea, i get 1,000. ;) :P

Hehehehe.

I click the ads sometimes....

not on a daily basis, because i get spyware and adware somehow... must be frmo a different site but im pretty sure its from the banners...

meh. 1/5 of my accounts got deleted lol shittykitty do you know why jamie_mcguire got deleted?

i dont mind i still have 4/5 on the highscores for money and 2 for experience :-D just would like an explenation and all
