There's a ton of topics on this. Whenever servers go down these boards usually light up lol
Well, it's only time before it's fixed.

yeah, I really don't like this happens. I have no idea how to fix most of the time and clears up in a couple hours.

How many servers do you have SMF For Free? (making conversation while times passes lol)

Heh, since the support is working and all and you seem to have other sites I didn't even know about until recently (CreateMyBB) I'm wondering, out of curiosity, how many other servers you have that host other sites?

http://angellicaldogs.th7.net/index.php <<<this is the link of my forum

It says : Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF For Free was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later. Support forums at http://www.smfsupport.com

But I got an email, there's a problem with the database or something. How sooner can my forum be revived?
