Site is back up

Thanks to Kreskin for posting on the Facebook wall that the site was down, it's now back up. I haven't been on the site all day so I didn't know it was down. If it's down for more than a couple of hours, please contact me or post on the facebook wall.

How long was the site down?

I don't know.. I've been busy with other things for a little bit and nobody contacted me. I have no idea how long the site was down for. I was last online yesterday.

Either way, what happened was the web server just started hanging and was in that state for a long time. I now have a program monitoring it to restart it if that happens again.

I am not sure how long it was down exactly, but I checked the site earlier in the day here in Australia while at work at around 8:05am and just noticed it was back up now @ 3:04pm (7 Hours or so)

And I don't have the forums on Facebook so I couldn't post there.

Nobody let me know why I was banned when I was banned..... and wasn't officially told why until I was un-banned. :p

What I mean is, you receive an automatic email notification that you have been banned. Or at least, you should have.

Zan messaged me with a good idea. To get a few regulars to get my contact info and notify me when the site is down for more than a couple of hours. Anyone interested please PM me and I'll forward you the details.

This time I was really away from the computer for a day and that's when we went down :(

That's always the way. You can watch it like a hawk for 364 days but the 365th is the one where all hell breaks loose.

Thanks for the info about facebook, never thought to look there when I couldn't get on yesterday. Had the same thoughts as DG for awhile. ............ it was almost like going through withdrawal when I couldn't get on. ;-)
