So, uh, what do all of you do when you're not on boardgamegeek.com?

It's a little more clear now that in every pause of my day I check on bgg. :) Like I've got to check hot deals ALL THE TIME because what if I miss one? WHAT IF I MISS ONE?! And consequently I'm also busy trying to clear out games that I no longer want. So I'm seeling them on ebay and on bgg. I just sold a copy of Tales of the Arabian Knights and can't update it on bgg yet. I need that dopamine hit of reducing my game count and now I have to wait. D'oh! I'm workin' on getting that game count down!
Anyway, nice to meet you all. I'm Eric and I have too many games. My very old claim to fame is that I made "Eric's Ultimate Solitaire" for Mac OS. The sample version used to come with every Mac for a while. These days I'm just an old guy who makes iOS games* :)

* Mostly solitaire, sudoku, Tiny Little Crosswords, and one boardgamegeek-related solo card game: I made the official iOS version of "Finished!" by Friedemann Friese because I loved the game so much (My proudest accomplishment with that game: Friedemann plays the Daily Challenge every day and no longer wears out actual decks of cards any more)

Read EnWorld and TravellerRPG.com. Read rulebooks. Watch Vids. Play videogames.

The struggle is real! I just sold some games on FB marketplace and now my collection won't be up-to-the-minute!

I've been hanging out in the PGC discord. Did they announce this ahead of time and I missed it?

As far as I know this was NOT announced ahead of time. I had posted a thread in the Bugs forum about my contribution stats partially missing, and Daniel Karp replied they were having database issues and were looking into it. I presume this outage is related to that.

Yeah, it has been pretty buggy since it came back up on Friday night. Now it is down again.

I introduced my son and reintroduced my wife to my favorite game, Concordia. The rookie somehow won on the Italia board, but only 17 points separated the three of us, 132, 118, 115. To his credit, he played near perfectly for having just learned. My wife played really well for her second time.

I wasted a ridiculous amount of time with Eric's Solitaire! Thanks for making it!

Wow! I guess the database was nerfed way worse than originally thought! Hope they get the site back up soon - I'm going through some serious withdrawal symptoms, lol!

Yep, they found corrupted DB indexes, but decided to rebuild the entire DB to be on the safe side, which is why it took so long: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3222082/about-our-recent-downtime
