An apology, a thank you and a hello
Written by JurassicJunkie on June 11 2012 02:35 PM
This is an apology, a thank you and a hello all rolled into one.

Last night anyone trying to access GamingUnity might have noticed you were greeted by an error 403 Forbidden, so first of all we would like to apologize for the 6 hours we were down for, but as they say every cloud has a silver joystick.


The reason for the outage was because the good folk over at reddit came crashing in to our site in the thousands and killed our server.

So what does this mean? Well first of all we have now upgraded our server to be able to handle the new traffic but it also means we have had a flood of new users and fresh blood.

So this was a quick message to say we apologize for the outage, we are thankful for reddit to bring in the new users and simply hello to all the new members.

Also a quick reminder to the new members that GamingUnity is designed to be YOUR website and not ours, if you see something you want adding to the website please send us your ideas as we started over a year ago as a small site, and as people have requested new parts to the site we've added them, so keep your ideas coming in and we will keep building them in.

I love this site, although it lacks dinosaurs.

You've not met Jurassic then. I've seen more hair on Agent 47 and he's much better when represented by a Kenneth Brannagh voiceover, and some natty CGI animation of him taking a dump in a swamp, than he is in real life. Just a bag of bones hanging in a museum...much like dinosaurs are these days.

Welcome to all the new members. McNandy and Jurassic have done a cracking job on this site and its great that this is properly starting to be recognised (even if they are a little weird looking as people). Look forward to everyone's input.

LMAO... Dude you sure you don't want to write? I would enjoy reading your rum driven articles
Mad Mags June 11 2012 09:48 PM
I'll happily write for you guys. I just think I am more qualified in the talking of s*** than I am the talking of gaming. But if that's what you want then I need an assignment due to a lack of original ideas of my own.

Been adding all the cover art for the game I own that are missing. It would be a nice feature on a games page to have the number of users that have that game attached to their account. Games sortable by rating/number of players etc.

A question, When I add a new game will it automatically be added to my collection on approval?
JurassicJunkie June 11 2012 05:41 PM
Thanks a million and normally your image would be approved in a few hours but we have a large back log thanks to reddit :D I will get them done asap!
McNandy June 11 2012 08:43 PM
Thanks for the images - still working our way through them :D
We should have something to automatically add them to your collection up soon, thanks for reminding me!
Mad Mags June 13 2012 04:32 PM
Daniel. Majority of your images now processed. Seems you and other members couldn't agree on the cover for Left 4 Dead 2 so I chose the UK cover in the end.

As a note to anyone submitting covers. I've worked through the backlog of about 400 today and will be on every day to process any submissions. I should be able to process any cover submissions within 36 hours of you guys submitting them. It may stretch to 48 at weekends because I like a lie in and spend most weekends doing what the missus tells me to do, gaming or running around after my kids. Thanks for your patience on the backlog we did have and thanks very much for your submissions.
