The main site and forum

[kleptoman]

Did anyone notice the forum and site going a bit weird a minute or two ago, or was that just me?

[Robert McSantos]

It's been happening on and off for the past few days.

You're not crazy!

[Sam Logan]

Can you be more specific? What have they been doing?

[kleptoman]

Both the fourm and the main site are replaced with a "general error" page. Can't remember much appart from that. It was only there for a minute or so.

I remember a few days ago, the forum and website wouldn't load. The little loading bar (well, circle) on my browser kept trying to load it, but either the server was down, or there was too much traffic (not very common around here, especially because it wasn't an update day when it happened). Every other site worked fine for me. It could easily just have been me, though, because it seemed that other people were able to post during the time I couldn't reach it.

I've had two times where the forum and site were just down with generic error messages displaying. I just waited 3-4 hours and they were back up again.

[Pirate Jack]

Occasionally, what I assume to be the style sheets don't load and I'm left with a simplified version of the forum.

Hey, so why is Area 51 still around?

[Erik the Hack]

I ran into that general error a couple of times over the past few days as well. I just assumed it was normal host wackiness.

[MrSquishyDBC]

From about 3 o'clock Eastern Time to 7:30 Eastern Time (my time zone), the site was down; main site and forum. It said something like "cannot connect to server." The same kind of error when there is no site at that URL, or when there's no internet connection and you try going online.
This was the only site that didn't work.
Anyone else get that?

[Sam Logan]

It's not just you! The server was indeed down for a few hours today due to PROBLEMS.

[Desov2]

I got that too...

I hate PROBLEMS...

[MrSquishyDBC]

It's not just you! The server was indeed down for a few hours today due to PROBLEMS.

PROBLEMS!?!?!?
OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD!!!
ANYTHING BUT PROBLEMS!!!!
WHY GOD?!?! WHY?!?!?! WHY SAM AND FUZZY?!?! WHY NOT 4CHAN?!?!
[/sarcasm]
Well, that 4chan thing wasn't....
Anyway...

Ok, well its nice to know that it wasn't my computer.

[Agrajag]

I was going through SnF withdrawal.

[Leetmuffin]

I found a really awesome picture and was going to post it here but the site was down. And now I don't have the image.

[Exploding Pigeons]
