Description:
I tried to register to MySQL forge:
http://forge.mysql.com/people/person.php?action=add

But when I clicked "Create account..." I got a page with only these 4 words:
Could not open socket

How to repeat:
register to MySQL forge

What a joke!!  MYSQL can't figure out what appears to be a DB connection issue?  How embarrassing, I'm letting everyone know about this.

As "The Forge" is officially dead now (see e.g. https://blogs.oracle.com/MySQL/entry/eol_of_mysql_forge ) this report can be closed as "Won't Fix" or "Unsupported"?
