The forums, like Jinbei, have made their glorious return.
Thank you to everyone working behind the scenes!
Downtime!

Hey guys, I have access to lots and lots (and lots…) of hosting and/or can help with bills if it'd help. Sad to not have my forums to lurk on after all these years.
Good to see it back.
-
Thaaaaanks guys for the hardwork!!! :D
-
Omg we're back! Thanks to the team for managing this forum.
(It was rough being internet homeless for the past… weeks? Month? Gladtobehome)

@joekido:
Maybe you should find someone who can do your job when your busy so you don't have to have so much burden.
I'm not necessarily the only one with access to the server, but in this case it was tied to billing and ownership over the server so the buck has to stop somewhere, right?
@Mr.:
Are there precautions we should take to make sure we don't post another picture or anything that could get this site another dmca?
Not really, no. Don't worry about it.
-
I still don't understand what happened. Can someone explain me in a layman's language?
“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it–always.”

Glad to see this site is back. Without it, I had to get my spoiler from shudders Reddit. Thanks for all of your hard work guys. Especially Brennen

THIS! I have to resort to that site for 2-3 weeks, really out of my comfort zone.
-

-
Nice, AP forums is back. :)
I survived the downtime, but it was a bit unexpected… -
16 chars of kudos @brennen
-
Thanks god, I though I was gonna die in those reddit fanart…
-
Praise be .
-
Aaaaaaaaand we're back! I really thought this might have been the end for Arlong Park. There's so much history and information here that needs to be preserved for the future.
AP has been a part of my daily routine for over a decade, and losing it for a few weeks was unsettling. -
I kept clicking on the tab only to wait five minutes for it to load and not get anything. :lol:
-
Shoutouts to you Brennen for dealing with this whole mess, thank you for the time you spent for it so that we can…waste some time here :)
Also a big thank you to all the other admin/mods who were involved dealing with all this, we´re glad having you around here dealing with internet shenanigans^^ -
We back! Felt really weird not visiting this site
-
It´s back! I´m so very happy. Thanks to Brennen and everybody invoveld to bringing the site back.
-
Out of curiosity who is our hosting provider?
-

-
Is the poster banned for posting they pic?
-
Good to see AP is still alive & kicking. Would've been sad to loose yet another constant in these dark times! Tyvm to everyone who put in time & effort to bring this page back! :)
-
Woohoo! I thought the site of gone forever :sad:
Thank you admin for all your hard work in helping in bringing it back! :3
-
I Didnt know how important Apforums was to me until it went down.
Glad you guys are back, times like this make me appreciate the beauty of this forums
EDIT: Holy hell im in this forums from oct 2014 ? im pretty sure i was also lurking as a guest until you guys decided to make spoilers members only. That more than ~10 YEARS youve been in my life guys..
Kudos !!
Missed Yall

Basically our host just instantly sides with the DMCA and takes sites offline, regardless of whether the claim is valid (this one was pretty full of crap, considering it was linking a public image hosted by the owner).
Sad to hear that.. DMCA reminds me of one of the reasons about another ONE PIECE forum called "Oro Jackson Forums"' shutting down last year.
They said,
A few months back, we were on the receiving end of multiple false DMCA complaints. Even after having complied with existing copyright laws we were harassed and bullied.
Here is the details on Oro Jackson Forums. Thread title is "Oro Jackson needs your help to fight against corporate bullying".

It must've been a tough work. Thank you so much brennen and Foolio for running this awesome forum!!

Great to see Arlong Park is back :D
-
Welcome back AFP!

Jeez, OJ got shut down because people said "g'day"?
-
I was so scared. I thought you were gone. (。﹏。*)
-
Damn section popped up and I thought it was me getting a star
-
Glad you're back. Might not be as active anymore but I still like to pop in and read every now and then.
Feels weird but AP is one of those few sites that feels just like it did when I first joined, so I'd be sad to see it go. -
Server was hung. It always picks the worst times. I'm on vacation right now so it took a minute for me to be able to load up from some free wifi but things are back online.
-
Thanks again brennen!
-
Thanks brennen! Enjoy your vacation!
-
Blessed be the overlords of the site for such a short down time.
-
The site continues to be too angry to die.
Thanks much for all the hard work.
-
Like an anime protagonist, no matter how many times it's down, it always gets back up.
-
Thank you for all your hard work in getting in back up! :happy:
-
Server was hung. It always picks the worst times.
When this happens during Chapter 1000, we might have a real crisis.
-
I'm glad you got this back up and running, your work is very appreciated.
-
Sorry in advance for the forum problems, we're working on it.
-
That was quite a downtime we had. I'm glad everything is back up. :)
-
AP is back long live AP.
-
FINALLY. IT'S BACK.
-
Hell of a convenient time for the forum to go back up.
-
Welcome back, AP forums :)
-
I dunno, it seems unrealistic that a forum seemingly dies, only to reveal is was alive later. :ninja:
Actually, it's good to see it back. Good timing too.
-
Thanks for the hard work, admin-team. Glad to be back.
-
Dammmmn nice. What happened this time tho, that was a long time for a site to be down.
