Site problems today
The backup has been restored and everything seems to be working again. Please note that the backup was from 10am GMT, so any posts made between 10am and 2PM GMT today will have, unfortunately, have been lost in the restore process. Apologies for this issue, but if it's any consolation, the table corruption has now been fixed! Yay!
Original post
I've been working hard today trying to fix an issue with a key database table that has become corrupted. I still haven't fixed the issue and I'm having to revert to a database backup made about 4 hours ago. This means that forum posts and file and image comments from the past 4 hours will "go missing", never to return.
I've brought the sites back online so you can still use almost all the functionality during this time consuming process, but please be aware that file and image comments will currently be blank. I'm obviously aware of this issue and working hard to fix it!

A moderator has closed this comment topic for the time beingSkyrim portion is famous for not responding, and all we get is a notification stateing that the servers are answering over 500 posts per second, and how excited Nexus is about Skyrims success, and sorry for the inconveiance. I say its about time to create a better server, do to the success of Skyrim. If Nexus had a faster server, then all the waiting will be over. People will soon get tired of not being able to advertise any of their great mods, do to the Nexus site being overloaded, and not responding, and will move on to a different mod site like, Steam Workshop.
Since Skyrim is fairly new and many modders of Nexus moved onto Skyrim Nexus. That site is the one that only works sometimes, It is to overloaded and it can not handle the traffic. It is getting old.
I'm thinking a corrupt table must be one that provides information you said there to your enemies for a price. Betrayal and money under the table.
When you have a consistently stable-running website with traffic consisting of millions of hits a week, with content that eats your bandwidth up everyday, you may complain.
