So why was CFC down (on and off) the last 3 days?

[mayor]

I couldn't enter CFC until now (7.41 AM EST) starting 2 AM EST.

Didn't get the "Server is busy" page just a "The webpage cannot be found".
2 minutes before I could get on CFC again it showed "Database error".

I was up late playing Minecraft last night and it was down every time I checked between 1 and 3 AM PST (4-7 EST) and long after it went down for maintenance (or if that wasn't maintenance the site was completely offline after mid-night).

Moment I woke up I had a big blackout, it didn't load. Same, don't know what time, but I woke up at around 10-12 GMT (A.M)

From about 6:00pm GMT+11 CFC was down. It was down for at least six hours, I don't when it got back up though, I was asleep by then.

That's okay, I just use a different forum for long posts instead. But I didn't realise that MS Word had vB formatting buttons built in, that's good to know. You know, buttons for posting links, pictures, quotes, spoilers, bold, italics, colours, smileys, text sizes, and so on. I'm glad that Microsoft has added these vBulletin formatting buttons to their word processing software, to save me from memorising and typing them myself.

Well, word may not have those, but this program does: http://wysiwygbbcode.codeplex.com/ You can even type your posts up in Word and then paste them into this program and it will convert it.

This is getting redicilous.

[GenMarshall]

Once again, became busy from 3:59 PM till 4:08 PM EST

It's doing that "I'm going to be busy on the hour, by the hour! :trollface:"

 

[The_J]

Same like above.

 

[NinjaCow64]

Yeah, it was down for me at roughly 8:20 AM GMT+11. No idea what that is in EST though.

 

[GenMarshall]

5:20 PM to 5:29 PM EST, gone busy


.


EDIT: Not to long after this post, the server went busy from 5:35 to 5:50 PM EST!!!!!!!!!!

Although this site is my internet playground and has given me hours of fun, and I want the busy servers to stop... is it possible that we are all caring a wee bit too much about the site going down?

 

[GenMarshall]

is it possible that we are all caring a wee bit too much about the site going down?

No! Because this has been going on for months since September! Even the guys who say "do something else for a while" are getting peeved about the unreliability of the servers.

What happens the next time there is a big press release for G&K?
We will have it going down constantly again. The minor downings point to a major problem which needs to be fixed, that is why we are not caring to much.

 

[hoplitejoe]

It was down just then
