Shanester Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Sorry for the temporary site outtage. Our host crashed and therefore we were down until they could fix the issue.
Lobsterman Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Yay! That was a long, boring four hours.
Nessex Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 It was late int he night over here, so i was sleeping Lucky it didn't happen during daylight hours or my work schedule would have been thrown into complete chaos! welcome back :biggrin:
Marquis de Carabas Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Lucky me, it was during my work hours so I didn't experience any MMMV withdrawls ^_^
The_Donster Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Glad you had a handle on it Shanester & Team. One of my action figure forums was down for days and it looks like most of the forum isn't even aware it is back up. The traffic there has gone down significantly. You guys didn't even give me a chance to get the DT's
The Geohound Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Wait, what happened? Clearly, I didn't notice.
boyd Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Glad the site is back. I was afraid it was hacked by a militant Shockini group. Edited September 11, 2012 by boyd
TBT! Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 MinimateMultiverse was down today and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt T.
TM2 Dinobot Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I'm sure Bob's Facebook page is glad to have all the strange people off of it.
Politician Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I guess this site is hosted by GoDaddy. They had a massive outage today due to DDoS attacks. If not then....it's still good to be back.
Bob Harris Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I'm sure Bob's Facebook page is glad to have all the strange people off of it. I'm just glad we now know there's a backup plan for the worst case scenario.
Shanester Posted September 11, 2012 Author Posted September 11, 2012 Yep, Go Daddy has been our host for many years, but for how much longer is unclear. IMO, an org that so many depend on with the size and resources as GD has, should have had redundant failsafes in place. Obviously, they didn't or their infrastructure was full of holes. Either way, we'll try to keep the lights on.
AdyCarter Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 There are also some other "issues" around GoDaddy that wouldn't make me sad to see us leave them.
karamazov80 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Yeah, those commercials that don't pay off the way you expect piss me off, as well
Lurch77 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Nothing to see here, move along, move along
buttheadsmate Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 During the outage I did things that I haven't done for many years . I met new friends,got out more,spent less,got a suntan,had a haircut ,watched some TV,rang some friends,drank even morebeer & realised that my wife left me years ago & had taken my dog,consequently there had been little need to fill his bowl each morning before logging in here. I'm going to miss that dog.....whatever his name was but I'll have more time for myself now. Anyway it's great that everything's OK again but to be honest can we make these outages a bit more regular ? All the best. - muttsleftsmate
Shanester Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 Go Daddy sent me an apology letter with no explanation of cause and a code for one free month of hosting.

TM2 Dinobot Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) LOL Nice. That actually got me laughing. Edited September 16, 2012 by TM2 Dinobot
Mystery Man Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Anybody else have a problem getting on here for the past hour or so?
Shanester Posted November 19, 2012 Author Posted November 19, 2012 Yes, Go Daddy strikes again. We'll probably be changing hosts, but we are paid up through 2013.
Mystery Man Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 No big deal! By "through"... do you mean "paid up until 2013" or "paid up until 2014"?
SuperChefMate Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 That was scary, glad everything is okay. Did you get another free month of hosting like last time?
