Spore’s official forum, the Sporum, is “down” today. But it’s not really down, only broken. This has happened 3-4 times this week.
Posting new topics, even reading them, and PMing people are all broken. It lists a bunch of shit about java and exceptions. At the bottom, it mentions notifying the administrator. Simple enough. Only problem is there’s no fucking link to do said thing!
I attempt to PM one of the moderators, and it too shows the same shit about java exceptions. So there’s no way to notify the admin. I can’t ask EA Customer Help, because it’s not Spore-related. Plus it’ll take ’till Monday when they might respond. By then it’ll be too late when I want the forum up now.
What’s strange is I’m still seeing people post. So it’s only broken to me? Internet Explorer shows the same thing.
Why am I concerned about this instead of just playing Spore, since this doesn’t affect the game? The topic I made kinda does. It’s to ask opinions of people, what is their thought of expanding an empire.
I got a response a day ago, but with this issue I can’t read it.
But I did finally find a way. I clicked on the RSS Feed and it showed the entire topic and the person’s reply. The person in disbelief why I would throw RP into Spore, about how there’s no parts (I explained why in my reply, which I feel I made a fool of myself). But the rest of it is what I thought people would say. That yes.. your people work in sweat shops to produce spice for you to sell.
Anyway, the forum is back up finally. And guess what? There IS a thread about it. One of the Maxis boys are asking people about this. But sometimes I wish I never opened up my.. keyboard. After explaining what I’ve been experiencing, they treat me like a total noob in telling me to clean my cookies and shit. I did that a long time ago.
