Go to geekhack.org. I get:

Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

Seems OT but maybe some of their admins hang out here from time to time.

There is a refugee camp for GH users here on DT

Here you have it http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f30/

Our occasional outages are thanks to our host: Hetzner. GH's are, well, apparently software issues. Yikes.

Too bad the forum is down. At least we can enjoy the extensive wiki again:

We should charge an annual fee for using the refugee camp.

Introducing a whole new subforum: DeskHack.

I'll nag Webwit to get working on the mexapixel animated avatars and mandatory siglines.

If anyone else is curious (I was), SMF is the Simple Machines Forum.

I wonder why they don't crow about their biggest user on their homepage!

Didn't know that it was the biggest SMF installation...

Just a guess, given quite how frequently they meltdown.
