Hey guys,
The last couple of nights I haven't been able to reach the site from home. When I do a traceroute the hops get as far as Florida, then stop responding. I'm wondering if the site's been down, or am I the only one that's been having trouble.
Generally, I've been trying to reach the site from between 7 and 11 PM EST.
-
OH NO! WHATEVER IT IS THAT KEEPS DAVE IN FLORIDA IS KEEPING THE REST OF US OUT!
-
No issue here.
-
Yeah, I've had no real issues here either ...
-
I still can't get here from home.
I'll do a traceroute tonight and uh... Post the results on Monday I guess.
-
I cant get here directly tonight. First time it's been blocked this long in awhile.
-
I make it to hostdime's edge though.
-
Hmmmm, I've had ZERO problems, however, I'll email support and see if there's something amiss ...
-
It would be helpful if I had that traceroute for you.
-
also recommend using http://network-tools.com/ (http://network-tools.com/) or http://www.yougetsignal.com/ (http://www.yougetsignal.com/) for a second/third source, to see if they detect the same problem when you see the site as "down".
-
Using the first of the online tools you posted...I get the same as who.is's traceroute...which dumps me at the edge.....but this one then goes on to the site. Still cant load any sites from that server though.

At around 2:15 PM CST, I was unable to get to LG.
After some research, it looks like the name servers from host-care.com (ns1 & ns2) were generating internal errors. This can sometimes be caused by high traffic through the name servers.
So, it sounds like our outages are because host-care.com is getting a lot of traffic. DoS/DDoS against other sites on HC are likely candidates, given that HC only seems to support about 40K domains.
-
Well, in my case, I haven't been able to get to LG from home for four days now. My problem may lie elsewhere.
-
or....
hostdime had a huge router issue a few days ago...found it in their statis section...
so maybe both ? buggered if I know.
i still cant here right now. ( just an update. )
-
How are you guys posting?
-
Yeah, I've had no real issues here either ...
-
How are you guys posting?
I'm posting because by 4:00 pm, whatever happened at 2:15 pm had finished.
-
No, I meant "Daddy DopeDong" ...

No, I meant "Daddy DopeDong" ...
So, when you said "guys", you were talking about him... and his dick.

Back to normal. Knock on (_)_)===D

*sigh*
-
I don't get this sigh thing. It's bugged me for a while. It's clearly too emo to be Thrash. The only thing I can think is that someone's hacking his posts. And if I had to make guesses, I'd go with the script-kiddie that broke ThrashInc.
-
i used to do it a lot ~ <sigh> ~ but i always put it in the arrowheads. Also, i couldn't "hack" my way out of a fire with the Provided Axe.
-
No, I mean there could be some times when a sigh is appropriate. For instance if someone is just completely and repeatedly missing the point and you suspect they know they're wrong but are just trying to make some absurd point. But otherwise it just comes of as strangely emotional. We're all just fucking around here. There should be no reason to sigh except in desperation. I dunno. Maybe I read too much into it.
-
/me sighs
-
*double sigh*
-
* underclass farts
-
<double fart>
-
/me triple sighs at Si's sighing at doormouse not getting my sighing
-
Man, if i have to Triple Fart
i'm going to the Bathroom!
-
recommendation: armpit.
-
Doh!
-
Hah. I was drinking some mean spirits last night.
I forgot that I'd come to the conclusion months ago that sighing is just what Thrash does. That and hmmming and w3rding. It's what makes Thrash Thrash. Rock on, bro.
-
the server being down happened to me a while ago. i checked on downorisitjustme.com or whatever that site is called and it was properly down. but i didnt note day/time and i dont remember when it was anymore...
-
need some empirix monitors put on this site!
-
Without dates and times, it's a little tough there, currymuncher ...
-
fair enough, i didnt think anything of it at the time.
only till i got round to reading this thread did I remember it...
-
It's coo' ...
-
ok, just then. check on downorjustme and a few proxies... lasted what... 5 mins maybe. I also burped and scratched my balls.

"Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later."
Just now, refreshed and it was back. I dont know if this counts, because its not down, just busy..
..but theres only three users and two guests on.. and one of them is me.
-
It's all about server load, and we share with others ...
-
Ah, that explains it. Because I was thinking it'll be because of the main server and other sites/people but then.. you guys pay for this site, don't you? Which got me confused cuz I thought you could get your own server.

* Free web hosting service: Free web hosting is offered by different companies with limited services, sometimes advertisement-supported web hosting, and is often limited when compared to paid hosting.
* Shared web hosting service: one's website is placed on the same server as many other sites, ranging from a few to hundreds or thousands. Typically, all domains may share a common pool of server resources, such as RAM and the CPU. The features available with this type of service can be quite extensive. A shared website may be hosted with a reseller
.
* Reseller web hosting: allows clients to become web hosts themselves. Resellers could function, for individual domains, under any combination of these listed types of hosting, depending on who they are affiliated with as a provider. Resellers' accounts may vary tremendously in size: they may have their own virtual dedicated server to a collocated server. Many resellers provide a nearly identical service to their provider's shared hosting plan and provide the technical support themselves.
* Virtual Dedicated Server: also known as a Virtual Private Server (VPS for short) divides server resources into virtual servers, where resources can be allocated in a way that does not directly reflect the underlying hardware. VPS will often be allocated resources based on a one server to many VPSs relationship, however virtualisation may be done for a number of reasons, including the ability to move a VPS container between servers. The users may have root access to their own virtual space. This is also known as a virtual private server or VPS. Customers are sometimes responsible for patching and maintaining the server.
* Dedicated hosting service: the user gets his or her own Web server and gains full control over it (root access for Linux/administrator access for Windows); however, the user typically does not own the server. Another type of Dedicated hosting is Self-Managed or Unmanaged. This is usually the least expensive for Dedicated plans. The user has full administrative access to the box, which means the client is responsible for the security and maintenance of his own dedicated box.
* Managed hosting service: the user gets his or her own Web server but is not allowed full control over it (root access for Linux/administrator access for Windows); however, they are allowed to manage their data via FTP or other remote management tools. The user is disallowed full control so that the provider can guarantee quality of service by not allowing the user to modify the server or potentially create configuration problems. The user typically does not own the server. The server is leased to the client.
* Colocation web hosting service: similar to the dedicated web hosting service, but the user owns the colo server; the hosting company provides physical space that the server takes up and takes care of the server. This is the most powerful and expensive type of the web hosting service. In most cases, the colocation provider may provide little to no support directly for their client's machine, providing only the electrical, Internet access, and storage facilities for the server. In most cases for colo, the client would have his own administrator visit the data center on site to do any hardware upgrades or changes.
* Cloud hosting: is a new type of hosting platform that allows customers powerful, scalable and reliable hosting based on clustered load-balanced servers and utility billing. Removing single-point of failures and allowing customers to pay for only what they use versus what they could use.
* Clustered hosting: having multiple servers hosting the same content for better resource utilization. Clustered Servers are a perfect solution for high-availability dedicated hosting, or creating a scalable web hosting solution. A cluster may separate web serving from database hosting capability.
* Grid hosting: this form of distributed hosting is when a server cluster acts like a grid and is composed of multiple nodes.
* Home server: usually a single machine placed in a private residence can be used to host one or more web sites from a usually consumer-grade broadband connection. These can be purpose-built machines or more commonly old PCs. Some ISPs actively attempt to block home servers by disallowing incoming requests to TCP port 80 of the user's connection and by refusing to provide static IP addresses. A common way to attain a reliable DNS hostname is by creating an account with a dynamic DNS service. A dynamic DNS service will automatically change the IP address that a URL points to when the IP address changes.

Gee, thanks!

It is my duty to fill up the tables !

... and you do it well, matey!

How are you guys posting?
I was posting from work. Now I've moved and my problems with reaching the site when I'm not at work have gone away.
-
Moved locally?
-
It was living back in the woods that did it, Eric. The old guy who ran over your garbage cans was moonshinin' and the still was interfering with your fiber optics...
-
Yeah, that was probably it.
Doormouse, I moved to a location where I could keep a closer eye on you.
-
Haha. I think I'm already under observation. I live in a particularly broken part of the city and I'm the only young white guy in the area. I'm just waiting for the day I get robbed. The joke will be so on them, though. I have a credit card and around $10 in laundry quarters and that's it. If they push the issue I can offer my whiskey, food, and spare room. If worst comes to worst I can give them some textbooks to resell at the bookstore.
Actually I'm probably safe, though. I live right next to the jail and I think the criminal elements tend to stay out of its shadow.
