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.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

What’s strange is I’m still seeing people post. So it’s only broken to me? Internet Explorer shows the same thing.
\nWhy 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.
\nI got a response a day ago, but with this issue I can’t read it.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
