Spithead...we have a problem

So, as of today 0900 Australian Time, it appears that the mutant badgers have once again devoured the engineers, once more rendering the good ship Brass Goggles unavailable.

Hmmm... yes, we are finding the same here.

It seems to be trying to load, almost loading... and then the hill is just too much for the little engine. So sad.


Well, fewmets.


Chas.

Here we go again, apparently...

Yeah.... Hopefully not for long though.

BG still down AFAIK. Over!.

I just got a "XML Parsing Error: unexpected parser state" error from BG. looks like the server needs a kick. Booting....with hob-nails!

Something was happening for a brief moment, but alas, like so much ice on a warm summers day, it melted before my very eyes.

Are you sure it wasn't:-

"The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
and darker days are drawing near,
the winter winds will be much colder,
now you're not here".?

No, Nathaniel, no"

We're gonna build a whole new world for ourselves. Look, they
clap eyes on us and we're dead, right?

So we gotta make a new life where they'll never find us. You know where?
Underground.

BG down; what can I say but…

Oh no, Nathaniel.  

Hmmm, I distinctly remember a certain somebody proclaiming "It's usually nothing"  

I contacted protus. I wish we had another person that could help us keep the forum running right to take some strain off him.

Bite me!   


Actually by that I was meaning a slow bg usually had no links with the cause of bg going down - 9 out of 10 times it was caused by overloaded routers / other websites with high traffic, or an "unknown" cause of false network traffic (probably a hardware fault or glitch). At least according to Proteus...

"There must be more to live" I bloody wish there was!

Yes, I am getting just enough connection - occasionally - for a bit of a tease.

I can load a page, or maybe half a page, before it goes Tango Uniform.

Grr.

Same here, seems to want to load, but then makes up its mind that it is all to hard, and returns to the pit.

Still just the Database Error message for me. Oh well, shouldn't be too much longer now.

Hopefully.

SS

It was up for a while, now

Database Error
Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.

I has a sad.


Chas.

Just tried BG and got the same message.

Ah it looks like little bobby tables strikes again...

Disclaimer: I work for an ISP.

Are there any "publicly available" specs for the server that BG runs on? Or the traffic it generates? I've got some spare hardware of my own lying around doing nothing, so it would be interesting to see if my gear could handle the site...

Twangy ......

I kinda thought the same.
I have lots of space and bandwidth at daily.
Just a question as to wether it would be enough
