Official Orbiter forum down (again)

[James.Denholm]

That's funny.
By the way, good attention to detail! But what's with the Big Black Square (BBS) near the payload controls?

[Ursus]

Why does that remind me of reports I read recently of seat-back entertainment systems on some airliners constantly rebooting...

Ah... here's one, though not one of the ones I originally read... ah, not that one... how about this one:

[Urwumpe]

Still down, 18 hours since, if I calculated correctly in my head.

[Zatnikitelman]

Up for me, time now 0:10 GMT.

[jer11]

Yes!

Its

[James.Denholm]

Finaly. I think they ahould appologise for all those people who decided to be cryogenicly frozen so they would still be
alive when it went up again...

[willy88]

It's down, and it's Friday. Guess what that means?

[Ursus]

It's only part-way down. You can access the main forum index and the individual threads... just not the thread indexes (er,
that is, the list of threads for each forum)... which means that unless you have an individual thread bookmarked, you're
limited to the "latest posts" list and the last post for each forum.

[20 min later] Ah... seems to be fixed, now.

Here we go again!

[Quick_Nick]

My guess for going back up is either about 3 hours from now or about Tuesday/late Monday. :p

[James.Denholm]

Any money on at least a week?

[Urwumpe]

And down again. Can't it stay up for at least two days?

[Zatnikitelman]

And again. Confirmed at 16:46 GMT (11:46 Eastern/GMT-5)

[Doug Beachy]

M6 uptime just keeps getting worse week after week.  I'm amazed they are able to stay in business -- who in the
world would actually pay for service like this?  It's ironic that "advertising" their service by hosting the Orbiter
forum  is actually having a large negative effect.

[Travis Reed]

One wonders why Martin continues to put up with this...

[Kodiak]

Is the problem with server or forum software?

[Zatnikitelman]

It's the server. Apparrently, something overloads a part of the server's storage and it has to be flushed every now
and then.

Every couple of hours

[Doug Beachy]

Anyone else getting a 404 on the Orbiter forum?  The main Orbiter site comes up, but I keep gettting a 404 on the
forum.

[DanSteph]

Same here

[Doug Beachy]

M6 is back up.  Just another segment in the sine wave that is M6's uptime...

[EDIT: scratch that -- it's down again.]

Down again...

"Cannot open database requested in login 'orbitflightsimulator1'. Login fails.
Login failed for user 'orbiter'."

[Zatnikitelman]

Not exactly down for me, but extremely slow, sometimes takes 2 or 3 refreshes to make a single page work. Time:
17:26 GMT-5, 22:26 GMT

[Zatnikitelman]

Down for me 20:07 GMT-5 01:07 GMT

[Doug Beachy]

Down here as well.  You know, it's hard to imagine a hosting provider that goes down at least once a week like
clockwork...

At least we have Dan's forum here.
