Hi everyone -- sorry for the forum downtime. I asked Gameservers about it and our webserver was having problems, apparently:

Quote
<@gs|tellz> heya guys
<@gs|tellz> Yeah, there is a webserver that is currently having difficulty.
<@gs|tellz> We are aware of the issue and are working towards a correction.
<a_bug> Thanks! I figured if I couldn't even FTP to it something must be up.
<a_bug> Do you happen to have any idea when it might be back up, or how serious the problem was? Should I start scouring for my backups?  (I think I made one two days ago...)
<merlin_tx> i am in the same predicument as well
<@gs|tellz> data should be safe
<@gs|tellz> I wouldn't worry about that.
<merlin_tx> is it one of those, janitor pulled the plug on the server box kinda of deals?
<@gs|tellz> I'm not entirely sure but as soon as more information is available we'll give you folks an update

Things seem to be up and running again, but I haven't heard any official update from GS yet. Hopefully it's fixed! Smiley

he did, but the "protection" got stuck in a fan or two... therefore: downtime...

Gameservers wrote that they "pushed some upgrades through to help prevent sites getting hacked." From what I can figure, there were two problems as a result...

(1) Everyone with a standard SMF installation had their forums go down because GS messed with the file permissions that SMF requires (this explains the forums being down in the early afternoon, but HLstatsX still working)

(2) Our particular webserver had additional issues with the upgrades (explains why everything went down from evening to midnight, including stats and FTP access.)

There was quite a bit of complaining in the GS IRC channel last night. Wink
I really wish they'd be more transparent about their "updates" though. They've broken our forums and databases several times before with random, unannounced changes...

This.

Also, glad to see it's working again. I thought something was wrong with my computer.
