Title: Sorry about the outage!
Post by: theory on April 13, 2014, 11:57:51 am
Our provider had a power outage.  Then when the forum tried to reboot itself it tried to do so using a cache file that was somehow corrupted. 

Or, in plain English, after blacking out from having drank too much, the forum came home and repeatedly tried to get in using its backup key that it hides under the welcome mat (which had gotten deformed) instead of the key it normally carries around (which was perfectly fine).

At least the forum didn't take a drunken trip to Waffle House.

The outage made you moody didn't it?

Been struggling to get on for the last 3 hours (from 1400UTC/ 0900 forum time), only been able to get on twice. Every other time I've had an "can't get onto database, the server is overloaded" message (if it happens again, I'll get a screenshot of the exact message)

Wondering if others had had the same problem. I tried Chrome & Firefox browsers (both normal & incognito) on my laptop, and Chrome on my phone, and none of them were reliably working, so guessing it was a problem at your end?

I am currently facing some oscillations, it works for a while, then I get the database error message. Goko is down too, btw, I need a Dominion fix somehow!

This marks the real decline of civility here on f.ds.

I never noticed it at all actually.

It's been better for me the last hour or two.

Age does that to a person.

Haven't had a problem for an hour or 2.

Did it then try to get into bed with Boardgamegeeks Dominion forum and woke up in the morning with horrible regrets?

Horrible regrets would be far from the worst possible outcome of that union.

Plus, they can't all be the best horrible regrets.

Hmm... been having troubles loading the forums for a few days now... 5 second and higher load times.  Is it just me?

Well, I've been having problems with my Internet connection in general so load times have been 5 seconds and way higher, but as long as there's nothing wrong with my connection, the forum works smoothly too.

I've had 5+ second waiting times, but only about 1-2 times a day (when I've been accessing the forums 10-20 times a day).
Title: Re: Sorry about the outage!
Post by: markusin on December 29, 2014, 12:50:44 pm
Yeah, I've consistently had to wait 10+ seconds for pages to load, regardless of what connection I use.
Title: Re: Sorry about the outage!
Post by: silverspawn on December 29, 2014, 12:55:26 pm
for me, it goes back and forth between normal and very long (10s+) load times for a few days now
Title: Re: Sorry about the outage!
Post by: Ozle on December 29, 2014, 02:14:04 pm
This is rediculous, it's like a third world country with these 10 second wait times! It's like being back on 3G all over again!

Am on vacation in New Orleans -- but I rebooted the forum and hopefully these issues will go away.

They are better today. I can finally get back to my life instead of waiting on load times.

So have I! It's a global conspiracy. Here I just thought there was something screwy with my wireless adapter.
