andygardener Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Looks like less than an hour's downtime to deal with whatever problem cropped up late in the evening. Considering the forums made available free for us on an advertising based revenue model perhaps a few of the resident advert blocking users might reconsider their stance and appreciate that getting techies on the case at 10 at night costs money?

andygardener Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 What happened Andy ? I've only just logged in after listening to the footy. Some technical issue, looking at when posts stopped and it came back up looks like just under an hour of downtime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anywebsite Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 The site goes down about 5 or 6 times a week, every week & that's just what I've noticed, could be every night. It's not a website well run by competent techies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harestone Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I know it goes down for maintenance each night but in my time here i've not seen it down outside that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 They just did what all techies do and the first question any techie should ask: "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenRivers Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The forum is a business, of course they would have it fixed as soon as possible so they can keep revenue flowing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I've noticed the forum quite often closes down in the early hours due to 'technical issues'. I presume these issues mean that the mods (like everyone else) have to go to bed. It's also the time the trolls come out to play. I can't see what's so important as it can't wait 'til morning, considering the people who run this don't get paid. SF is a pretty powerful machine ... it's free. Stop moaning ... go to Vancouver Forum, where everyone's still awake. Actually, don't bother ... it's rubbish ... unless you love God In short ... 'well done to the techys' who keep this forum running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
