Re: The link to the WinBoard Forum goes to an error page.

[h.g.muller]

It appears the WinBoard forum is in trouble (perhaps it was hacked), and it is doubtfull whether it will ever go on line again.

I will set up a page on my own website (hgm.nubati.nl) where the WinBoard package can be downloaded. I will distribute a link to it through this channel, as soon as I made it.

Hi,

On the GNU web page for XBoard, the link to the WinBoard Forum goes to an error page.  Here is the error that is displayed:
---------------------------------------------------
General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

User eq80053 already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections [1203]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.
---------------------------------------------------

Trying to go to the base URL for the WinBoard Forum ("http://www.open-aurec.com/wbforum/") yields the same error.

WinBoard is still very popular on FICS.  It would be helpful if the WinBoard Forum could be reinstated.  Thanks much.

Sincerely,
