What happened to CF over the past 8 hours???

[MsAnne]

Well, I was nervous all day (I live in Chicago) that my athiest boss had put up some firewall to keep me out...

Ouch. That would be bad.
Now I'm extra glad I use my own laptop at my office!

I got the problem with database message shortly before the site went down.

 

[The Julikenz]

I don't know, but right before it crashed i couldn't find my pet. Did it die? i didn't get any PMs or anything.... it was one of the oldest pets on CF - nearly two years old. I have no clue where poor Roses Noses is gone.

nuh uh... I think the database server crashed or something... I use opera so it doesn't time out so easily, but I got this message after about 5 minutes....

There seems to have been a problem with the database. Please try again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser. An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, whom you can also contact if the problem persists. We apologise for any inconvenience.

By any chance, did you see a Day Care sign beside your CF character recently?

Seriously, I couldn't get in at about 1pm CST and 4pm CST...the first time I got a "could not connect" and the second time a "Database error, email has been sent" (wonder how many emails poor Erwin got...)

If you want you can try this:

www.thevastescape.com/


than go down to proxy:


click on it and type in the url in the box

The way I used it before it got blocked now I am on the serach for a new one

There was some kind of contest to see if the previous record for number of users online at once could be broken on the 10th. Maybe that was a factor.

 

[PorcelainHeart]

I was alright without CF, I did other things.

 

[SilentTraveler]

I was on right when it crashed. There were over 1300 users, about 60 % of them were guests if not a little more. The site was sluggish all day, and the CB wouldn't refresh automatically when the box was checked. Even when we would click on chat/refresh it wouldn't refresh and so people clicked again and double posted instead.

My last post was around 255pm eastern time, after that I was not able to get on at all. My question is how much access do the guests have to the CF site and is that a factor for the sluggish drain on our site?

Keep it up Erwin, you're doing a great job!

 

[VioletAngel]

So that's what happened.... :o

 

[The Princess Bride]

Right when I saw it flickering there were only 1327 users online Erwin. It was very strange. It just froze...then when we went back to log on it would just be at a standstill then 5 minutes later it would say Page Cannot Be displayed.

Glad you got it working again!

That is the same Problem I had too....

 

[gods kid]

you can ban me if that will help
(even though I have never even been warned)

 

[Snowy]

I couldn't even get to the site

 

[kimber1]

I blame the Harry Potter threads.

ROFL!!!!

 

[Angeldove97]

Well I'd blame the Harry Potter threads too... but like most normal people I wasn't online and instead I was asleep... glad it didn't last too long though.

Hmmm - guess it depends on where you live - it happened at about 10AM EDT - I'd been up for 5 hours by then!

 

[Templedweller]

I'm glad its back up again too!!!
