Since I don't see a thread on this: What happened to WinCusto Last night?

February 7, 2004 9:07 AM from

I came to the site sometime around 4 - 6pm and I couldn't get on. Actually, what happened was that I couldn't get to the message board and when browsing the sections and I get like wierd display problems.

Also my name as well as others, was changed to oops.

PowerUser oops

Do I have a virus????

The message boards were down for maintenance briefly. At least thats the Message that I received. Actually, I bet the admins were all getting massages on the "Secret Board". >

It was just a wierd event. This is why I was wondering. Database errors can and will happen but that seemed strange.

Maybe some code problems...

the 'oops' character is back again but its for someone else now. I just came from the screenshots section and 2/3 of the people there are named oops!

I guess its ust a DB error thing. I got to write some code where if it goes into error it spits out stuff like that too.

Its cracking me up over here.

The database was being restored.
There was a small problem that messed some thing up.

I was wondering about why it said "Welcome oops!" to me. I had recently setup my laptop and signed into Wincustomize and got that. I didn't know what happened. I just went into edit account and changed my nickname. It was kinda funny to see though hehe.
