Hmm, it looks like not only SSC is having a problem... Earlier, I wasn't able to log into my Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo Mail and Google Mail but now, it's fine... Couldn't it be an internet virus? lol

^^ Yes, it's back on but when you try to post, you get this Database Error message... So what does this infer? Was it hacked or whatever?

Yeah, that is why we have other websites to surf. But SSC is somehow my life lol, I have nothing else to do than to face my computer since I have physical limitations that is why sometimes I go hysterical when SSC is somehow dead

I've got a feeling this might take a long time. Recently Jan mentioned he was getting a new server set up...

A brief history lesson on ssc:

That happened because we had a couple of Dutch guys on the Skyscraperpage forums and it felt a bit odd to be talking English to each other in topics that no one else was interested in it. Two months later a general Euroscrapers forum was started as well on EZ board. In September 2001 a new Dutch forum was started using Ikonboard, followed by an upgrade of the Euroscrapers forums as well. After a request from a ssp Aussie member an Australian board was founded and after one too many classic feuds between the English and the Germans these two had a Ikonboard of their own as well. In the meantime, a World Skyscrapers one was created as well to cover everything else in one go. These boards were all hosted on small shared hosting packages and were all going way over bandwidth after a while. Early September 2002 I got a note from that host to remove all forums within one week. Just before that I had already toyed with the idea to merge them all into one board, but that idea became reality on sept 11, 2002 as skyscrapercity.com.
From OzScrapers thread:

On the Third Day, Nalyd decided to reverse the letters of his name and rename his creation 'Dylans SkyscraperPage'.

On the 4th day there was a flood. Not a literal flood, with water n' shit, but a flood of people. They came from all locations, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Denver (there was nothing else to do in Denver, I suppose). And other places of course. This flood washed up some of the forums most known forumers, like Culwulla. This flood also caused many problems with Dylan's creation. His creation would cease to exist for, at first, hours on end, then days, then weeks. And the people weren't happy.

This continued until the Dawn of the 5th Day, when from Mount Wheredafuckdidhecomefrom, came the Messiah, the messiah we call Jan. The Messiah we call Jan (as in "'Jan'itor") when it really sounds like 'Hahn', like the beer, but with with a "J" at the front that sounds like a "Y". "Yahn". Jan, still on the 5th day, created Ozcrapers, a regional forum in a much larger forum called Hoogbouw.nl, or howeverdafuckyouspellit. KayOz would not convert his beliefs in line with the New Testament and remained true and honourable disciple of Dylans. KayOz cut a solitarly figure in the old world and had hundreds of fascinating conversations with himself (well, they were!), whilst every single other person in Australia flocked to OzScrapers on the old Hoogbouw.nl site or howeverdafuckyouspellit.

On the 6th Day Jan (remember; "Yahn"), changed from the Hoogbouw.nl or howeverdafuckyouspellit domain, to the Skyscrapercity domain, and it filled to the brim with ever more people than before.

Early in the 7th day, The Messiah (Jan...."Yahn") said Eureka was taller than Q1 and that was that and took the rest of the day off.

The end.
