All those problems are even more reasons for me not to visit that site.

When they actually get a competent website developer/good forum software then maybe, just maybe, I'll find it worthy of my time to visit.

Until that time Shrapnel is still the home for SE to me.

Again, thanks to Shrapnel for keeping this forum active, you truly are good people!

It looks like their database got fried (again). It doesn't recognize my username when I try to request a password.

I had a problem with the math question, too. My first suspicion was that it was looking for keypad numbers (which are different codes than the top row of the keyboard), but I didn't test that.

Another possibilty that just occurred to me is that the problem is in reading the input fields rather than in the database.

The site seems to have returned again.

Their server isn't the most unreliable. Garrysmod.com used to go down on a weekly basis for days at a time. At least spaceempires5.com only rarely goes down.

The top row numbers and keypad numbers might be different keyboard codes, but the characters put into the form fields and sent to the server are identical.

The site claims that there is no Fyron account when I try to request a new password, as well.

The site appears to be functioning normally again. They better get a handle on these issues though.

Perhaps they are trying and that is what is causing these issues. ??

They are using Drupal as a CMS, while it's a very good and robust program, it's very touchy. If their webhost doesn't properly support it, Drupal will break if you give it a funny look. There are also popular drupal mods that don't work together well

Well they have come a long ways since they first opened the site.

dunno what happens with these sites i mean how can it be so difficult to get a stable site?

The Lost Empire site was down as well like the same day it came out - but they redid it pretty much meanwhile at least. I followed this game a bit, it hasnt got that much attention yet - but it looks promising - a bit like se4.
