My thanks to all those involved in sorting out these issues. Very much appreciated I am sure by everyone. :-)
Site Connection
-
was the site down all afternoon? I couldn’t connect from work…
-
I was unable to log in for about 6 hours today. I have sent a not to DJensen to inquire what happened.
Still, the new site has been more reliable than the old one…
-
Where did you send the message? I didn’t get it.
I’m not sure what happened. At 5am PDT the server locked up. I’m still trying too figure it out.

Mod Forum
-
The exclusive Mod forum … :-(
-
Why does that draw a smiley face? I’m sure glad I don’t have to deal with all the crap the mods have to deal with in there…
-
There were some threads I was keeping tabs on that were moved there … never got to see them again
-
Probably a good reason for them disappearing…
-
Probably
-
But it sucks when they do that.
When I became a mod on another site in a previous lifetime, reading through all the “quaritined” threads really provided some insight into what was going on behind the scenes.
Then again, being a mod is a thankless task that I would not willing take up again.
-
By “insight” do you mean your own personal soap opera :-D
-
Being a mod means you live in a soap opera.
It’s like being a police officer. You get to spend your day dealing with only the most interesting people.
-
I’m pretty content to not be modding anymore. Dealing with that ass AS/SHP was enough, in addition to the constant second-guessing etc.
It was good that i had good back-up by Yanny/DM/DF. -
Over the past several days I have begun having site connection issues… worse than previously experienced.
Is this a short term issue? Or is site traffic just that high now?
-
What days? It should have only been twice. But the two times it happened it was bad.
-
This evening, and 1 or 2 days ago.
-
Yup. I’m working on it.
Short term, the next time this happens it should only last for 5-10 minutes; as opposed to 1 hour.
Long term, I make the problem go away.
-
Both of those are fine with me
(I apparently just have crap timing since I hit it twice for the entire duration…) -
Yeah I was unable to get onto the site for a while a few days ago as well
-
Looks like some script kiddie uploaded a script to this box to try a DOS for either this site or another site. It basically hosed the connection until I found out about it today. There will probably be an outage tonight while I upgrade stuff.
