Title: Forums down ALL day?
Post by: Razorspyne on April 28, 2013, 08:36 am
What's the score on this, are we back or not? I've had persistent difficulty all day, and logged in but couldn't log out again. Those few who are logged in (14 earlier) are you able to browse the forums or is everything timing out for you as well?

It hasn't been like this since February.

I've upgraded to a fast connection and it still took me about 4-6 clicks of Refresh button, and sometimes I hit the

Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

Yes someone told me SR marketplace was down as well. Slow loading, then it went completely. I gave up hours ago, but now I am starting to miss the forums and want it up again. :-\ ....eventually. Really mad at those DDoS'ers or whoever/whatever is doing it.

Forums take 5 reloads to bring up a page.

Main site two or so.

Wiki is just as bad funnily enough.

Looking at the recent posts been that way most of the day

I can't remain on long enough to check. I just took a 2 hour hiatus off forums and returned, but I can't see any message so far. Again, I can't navigate that well right now. I am not the only one, by the sounds of it.

I am surprised the marketplace is still up. I left ages ago and figured there was no point even trying. TorMail stilldown.... lol, when is it ever up.

It doesn't feel like a DDOS attack to me. I am able to connect with about half my clicks. It looks like a problem with the database or something on the server side.

Jeez.... I have only just been able to load pages just now, despite being logged in since this began.

It doesn't feel like a DDOS attack to me. I am able to connect with about half my clicks. It looks like a problem with the database or something on the server side.

Yes, it was able to connect for me too after about 6 clicks, but got steadily worse for me until it was unusable, even javascript didn't load when it did finally connect after about 6 agonizingly slow clicks. It works for now though. Hm, like TorMail? TorMail is always down and someone in SEC. section said it could be DB or server problems, so I guess it could be the same here, but not really sure.

Yes, it certainly isn't back to functioning normal again, SR m was down when I tried just before. And I just got the 'Can't connect' screens and another

Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

so I guess it's still a bit patchy. On the upside, while those not logged into forums can't log in, those who are currently logged in can get patchy service but to be honest, best to make a pina colada while we are waiting and keep checking it every 30 minutes.

I think it is better than in February. Same issue. And it is better than November 14. I couldn't even log in at all.
