This morning, maybe around 7-8 Nova Scotia time, it kept saying the connection was reset. Then I went to school. And I'm back and its up.

It happened during the time that I am normally online. This is very frustrating when this happened, especially since I was PMing someone and the site went down.

And once again. This time for a looooong time too. From 5:51 PM until between 1:21-1:23 AM, AEDT. As Ric Flair would ask; "What's causin' all this?"

Yeah, noticed it oo. This time it was out a long time. I wonder what happened.
Looks like the problem this time was some bad RAM in the server.

I was having that problem when I was on earlier too, which is why I chucked a hissyfit and watched wrestling for two hours.
So Padma, this was a different problem to whatever's been happening previously? So now we have even more troubles? Ai, Chihuahua.

I wonder why we cant develop a redundancy system for RAM.

Why is this happening so frequently? The site has been down for significant periods of time on 4 seperate occasions that I've counted during the last 6 weeks or so. Surely the server can be maintained better than this?! An average of more than 2 down-days per month is more than a bit ridiculous...

Well, just now the forums just hit a slowness snag.

There's not only the long downtimes, but the random occurances of incredibly slow loading times...

Sorry about the downtime, guys. I know it's annoying.
I talked to our host AtomicGamer and the good news is we do plan to get a server upgrade in the near future, likely before the end of the month.

It's the dreaded Y2K09 bug, I'm sure.

Stock up on the canned food, bottled water, and firearms.
Some RAM does have a redundancy system. The old IBM systems (the real IBM ones, not the clones) had 9 bits of ram for every byte, with parity. You could lose an entire chip and it would keep on chugging in non-parity mode. Really big servers still use similar systems.

So in essence the entire RAM chip has gone bad, even the redundancy parts?
