Olham Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Gaaaasp! It feels like having been under water for many, many hours, and now: fresh air at last! Or like it must feel for a fish, when you caught him and show him round and weigh him and make some photographs and all that - and he is finally getting thrown back into his element. I don't know about you others, but without the forum I'm like a gentleman with no club; or like a fish on land. Whatever it was, you forum moderators got me worried there! Sigh! Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 I'm with you on that one Olham...I've been like an expectant father...wondering what the hell was going on in there!!!.....thank god it's back up! Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Some of the site is still down...I wonder if it's a DOS attack? Quote
Wayfarer Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Thanks to everyone who has been working to get the site back up. Quote
+Polovski Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Erik posted this on the FaceBook page yesterday (thanks to Matt for spotting it) CombatACE An automated update to services on one of our machines went badly yesterday afternoon. Apache (web server) failed to restart after the update. The issue is and has been undergoing a resolve. I have no idea when services will be restored but rest assured I am working on it. Thank you for your patience and we'll return as soon as possible. Erik Thompson CombatACE.com http://www.facebook.com/pages/CombatACE/108447789190660 So thanks for Erik and all for working on it and fixing it! Quote

RAF_Louvert Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 . I wasn't affe-affe-affected by the forums being down in the in the in th-th-the least. . Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Erik is saying there 'may' be some more downtime to come..as it's been a real bummer of a job Quote
Flyby PC Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 That's totally cool with me Erik. We're all just having a chuckle...... Aren't we? Quote
Slartibartfast Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 WE'RE BACK! And that will be his front... Quote
NS13Jarhead Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Some of the site is still down...I wonder if it's a DOS attack? Sounds to me like a Windows Vista attack. Edited September 18, 2011 by NS13Jarhead Quote
Olham Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Even Windows couldn't do that to a forum - none of the versions. Quote
Hasse Wind Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I thought the site was gone, maybe hacked or something. This is such a nice community that it would be awful to lose it. Quote
Flyby PC Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I kept the faith with the guys who drive the bus and knew they'd sort it out, but it was odd for a down site. No error messages or codes or anything, just a plain white screen. I feared a hacker too, but I'm glad it's under control. Quote
