Unless you live under a rock; you most likely know that GPM has been down for quite some time now; probably close to 2-4 weeks. Scott Daedaelus; the owner/founder of GPM (and also the newly reinstated director; replacing Brant Marshall) has just announced that GPM is back up and running. Now before you go crazy that it is up and you think "OMG I AM GONNA GO DOWNLOADZ SOMEZ MOREZ MODZ FOR GTA"; please read the following.

• The site has JUST been put back online. Please do not rush to log in; as the server can only take so many people logging in/visitng the site at one time.
• GPM was moved to a new server because of a severe storm hitting the datacenter in Ohio (US); and the company that owns the server was very, very unhelpful in returning service; as the longer everyone was down, they got more insurance money. What money makes people do!
• DO NOT spam the staff yelling at them for not getting the site up fast enough. GPM is almost two trillion bites in size, now try to imagine uploading that.
• Some posts may not be recovered; as the returned version of the site was an earlier version because they had the opportunity during this downtime to fix some of the issues GPM had been having before the crash.
• Make sure to have fun, and go download some mods we have been all waiting for!
• Also; I would wait a day or two so you can ensure that the site is fully up and running and you are not stuck with getting busy errors every two seconds.

Thanks for reading!

well GPM in my country doesnt work....

flush your DNS. "ipconfig /flushdns" in cmd.

A notice about GPM,

Since so many people are attempting to log in all at once, no one should expect to get in anytime soon, and not have any server problems.

> two trillion bites

They said in an email to members that they bought another sever to handle the traffic and should have it up in 3 days at the latest.

Isn't two trillion bytes just two terabytes? That's not actually that big.

*EDIT*

Yup, I just did the calculation really quick. Approx 1.81 TB. It's a lot of content for sure, but why the inflated number? :dry:

Approx 1.81 TB. It's a lot of content for sure, but why the inflated number?

Because, I assume, some people don't know how the math works out so they freak and assume it is like 3 trillion terabytes. Just a strategy to get people's attention. An effective one, usually.

NOW i can say that it works, even though the database is down.

yup

works for me too

Works for me too! No more commercial!!
