AGS Site Broken All Week?

HyperAnimated · Tue 22/09/2009 01:30:30

No one else seems to have mentioned it, so I thought I'd ask...was the site broken all week? I couldn't access the forums or games until today, kept getting errors.

LimpingFish · Tue 22/09/2009 01:37:23

Yep. Snakes in the server. As for fixing it, a feisty AGS mongoose did the trick.

Well, somebody mentioned it at the same time as you did:

But well, this happens from time to time... but it was definitely the longest downtime I've experienced so far.

I consoled myself by imagining that the crash was due to ten thousand people spontaneously deciding to download my game all on the same day.

Needless to say, this was not the case.

Ha, beat you by two minutes!

Is there any proof that this wasn't the case? Maybe Discordance is getting too popular for the good of the community....

If it was the case I suspect the download counter would be a little higher than it, in fact, is. Unless the number is just too vast for the system to accurately represent. One can always hope, right?

We should really tell Snake to get the hell out of that server!

That's because we're all in denial about our AGS Forum addiction problem!

All too true

I think I spent about an hour updating the page and searching google for alternative links (like that would have worked)

arj0n · Tue 22/09/2009 11:45:48

72 hours of no-ags-forum, that's rehabilitation.
Knowing it would not be fixed before Monday but still I tried so much times in
this weekend checking the forum by updating the page (with no result of course)...
Glad I'm not the only one, thanx Bulbapuck

Wyz · Tue 22/09/2009 14:13:06

This was my most productive weekend in months.

Stupot · Tue 22/09/2009 14:25:16

I've had no internet all week so I wasnt even aware of the downtime.... perhaps it is my very presence that keeps this website running... somehow I doubt that

AGA · Tue 22/09/2009 16:41:12

The MySQL server was down. CJ was away all weekend or something, but he managed to get it fixed when I to text him to let him know.

And SSH, the forums aren't hosted on girlscouts, so Hajo can't do anything. The forums are hosted on a dirty Windows server.

SSH · Tue 22/09/2009 17:01:43

And AGA,

Darn, dash and tarnation! They're down again?!

The forums seem to be down since Saturday..unless its really me. Which I doubt anyway. Ah, well, time to go fishing! If they come up, wake me. This times it seems really serious though. It's not the usual just-a-day-long maintenance thing. So guys if you hear me...

GET HAJO!

Quick, somebody grab a bottle of Windex and a roll of paper towels!

Oh wait...that kind of dirty. Nevermind the Windex then.

Well it doesn't say much for your editorial policy, does it?! I demand a full retraction.

SSH · Tue 22/09/2009 18:03:42

A retraction of Dualnames?

You can also spot his posts as they have a lovely puce background to the text.

Anyway, I can do better than retraction, I can retcon!

Dualnames · Tue 22/09/2009 18:28:19

Whatever kids!

I once cheated on the server with a Linux machine, and ever since then my punishment has been that every time I go away, the disk fills up and it stops working.

On my return, with regret I decided to delete my Best Of S Club 7 collection from the server to free up space, and thus it is now fixed.
