Lets all hope it's down for a reason...

...like a forum software upgrade?  Arcade machine database update?


Naw...couldn't be.

Someone probably tripped over a cord or something...

Or the dog ate it and they're just waiting for him to "pass" it?

Oh well, either way... I'm glad it's not just me who can't get through. I had just changed some port settings on my router when it went down, so I was try'ng to figure out WTF I did to block the site.

While I appreciate the KLOV site, it seems to be managed poorly. Maybe it is a tough job, but here at BYOAC, Saint and his team manage just fine. Maybe that is the problem over there - the Admin tries to do everything himself.

Yeah, they have some problems over there... but as a classic arcade forum... it's pretty hard to beat. The WTB and WTS sections are focused more on classics, as is the repair/help section.

I lurk around here every once and a while, and it's mainly people that just want to build MAME machines... doesn't really appeal to me too much.

I think it's a natural progression.  MAME got me in to dedicated arcade machines as well.  It's unfortunate that some of the old-schooler dedicated arcade guys can't see the benefit that MAME has brought to the community.  PERSONALLY I think MAME has done much more good than harm to the dedicated arcade community.  It's certainly brought more people in to the fold...

Yeah, I think that sometimes... about all the people that MAME brings to the community... then I see some of the hellcades, and I die a little inside... ESPECIALLY that Gorf Hellcade... OMG... anyone remember that one? Unbelievable.

Granted, I know more machines are saved in the long run... but those just don't seem to stick out to me as much as the total screw ups that get their hands on classic cabinets and bend them over like they just dropped the soap in the prison shower.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that it "went down" on Phet's birthday....

Klov is a perpetual upsi-downsie thing. I don't know why people ask about it. Just wait for it to return. Or not.
