The forum was down for a long time. Was it just me?

Analyzing the access logs took to long, so the next check was scheduled while the previous one was still running. And again and again and again.... till we ran out of memory.
I thought I limited the size of the logs, but now it is.

By the way, I didn't see any other way of getting a status update. Nothing on here:

- r/pascal
- r/freepascal
- r/programming
- @freepascalnews
- @freepascaldev
- @LazarusDev

The best way is to ask on the mail list, then it will be escalated. (I had actually noted, but was on my way out, and then later thought Marc knew, but it just took him some time)

I didn't know there are reddit accounts (no idea who owns them). And the twitter account, oh, well long way down memory lane. But at least the lazarus one is not actively used to post anything.

And in cases like this, better ask the fpc mailinglist since the lazarus mailing lists are hosted on the same machine.

I'd rather not use my private email address, nor create an email account just for that list.
(Also, in a time when forums are widely considered archaic, mailing lists feel prehistoric)

Those are subreddits.

Yes, definitely thank you Marc.

It's nice to be able to access the forum again :)

But they work.
