Cadetstuff down?

I can't seem to log onto CS, or rather, I can't seemed to find CS.  What's up, Doc?

Network hiccups at the sooper sekrit location where the CadetStuff server resides.  I had the same problem, both last night and this morning.  Seems like the subnet that the CadetStuff server resides on is unreachable, for whatever reason.

I suspect the box itself is happily running, wondering where all the traffic is. :)

I agree with the person I just sent this too... this should so be illegal.

But, bestest of luck to whoever is in charge of fixing this :-)

The official scoop: The hardware that hosts CadetStuff (and a variety of other web sites) was moved behind a firewall this morning, unbeknownst to us.  They refuse to move the box outside of the firewall.

So, our heroic sys admin Dano (not to be confused with that dirty bum Dano that deleted the forum posts last year) worked his tail off to move all the web sites hosted on that hardware to another piece of hardware that is outside the firewall.

Everything is done, no data was lost since the server was running along just fine the whole time.  We're just waiting for the DNS servers to catch up.  Give it another 2-24 hours depending on your ISP and you should be square.

Sorry for the inconvenience, it caught us by surprise, too!

Well, on the bright side, maybe the short downtime at CadetStuff will encourage some people to check out CAPTalk and some of the other CAP Blogs and websites out there.   ;)

Well - one can hope, right?   ;D

It's back up!  :)

Life may continue as normal! 8)

And CAPTalk traffic falls dramatically.  ;)

Yeah... That was implied.  CAPTalk is cool though.  ;)

I think it's down again.  I'm getting some kind of critical error page.  It went down when I was browsing threads... When I went to log out I got the error.

Yep.  Our traffic is always up when CS is down.   ;D

Looks like it's a problem with one of the tables and they've got the forums in Debug mode (attempting to fix it).

It doesn't look like the kind of error that would erase any post data, so shouldn't be any significant worries.  I'm sure it'll be back in due time.  In the meantime, enjoy the new flow of traffic to CAPTalk.  :D

it'll be easy to fix, don't worry, it's only a minor problem.

this error happens a lot with the configuration that CS uses, but they can usually stop it before it gets this far.

Now watch, within the next few hours, the CS staff will be announcing the Great Data Dump, Part 3.

Inside sources say they're having DNS issues.

Well, looks like CS has been having DNS problems all day.  I'm surprised the CAPtalk traffic-o-meter isn't pegged to the limit  today.  ;)
