House of Whining Updates

I went to forumer.com/status.php and saw that 16 of their 23 servers are down. Then I had the brilliant idea to check their help forums:

Planned Maintenance of our network infrastructure

---

Server 10 is down again. Check the status here -- http://forumer.com/status.php

It's actually been behaving pretty well for a while.
 
 
 
 

Just giving us a place to bitch and moan.

If it's any comfort, Server 7 went down before Server 10 did.
 
 
 

Server 10 appears to be up and running again, some more.

Other than the time thing, it was actually running pretty well this morning. *sigh*

If you want to keep tabs on whether they think Server 10 is working, Forumer's status page is here


 

Aaand we're down again. As of 19:15, the HTML server is not working.

And are back up.

...but running slow. Let's hope the server stays online this time!

HHoW is down(again) and the HTTP server was not running as of 4:15(PST).

Server 10 is still down. I've been keeping up with Forumer's bulletins on this and as of 4:17 AM, they said they had "escalated" the issue to the technicians and they were trying to fix as soon as possible and to please be patient. Oh well. Do they not know that we go through withdrawal when we can't discuss House? ;-)  Let's hope for the best.  More updates as we have them.

Server 10 went down around 8:30 PM CST.  Forumer confirmed this. 

Fingers crossed it lasts!

HHoW has been running slow for the past couple of days and many of us have had problems accessing the site and now we can't get on at all.  Forumer says that Server 10 is  down. Updates as we have them.

Hello everyone,

At this time, we are aware of the Forumer forums having been hacked.  Forumer is aware of the situation and is working on it.  It looks as though servers 8, 9, and 10 have been hit and/or are down.  We've been checking into this and will keep you all updated.  House's House of Whining was not the only board hit, all boards on these three forums have been affected.

Hey folks -

Server 10 is down. When you go to HHoW all you get is gibberish and Japanese pop ups. At this point, we have no idea what the issue is or when the site will be back up. We'll keep you posted.

According to Forumer, server 10, the server we're hosted on, is currently not running.  According to the Forumer Tech Forum:

In next 10-15 hours the server 10 will run slow, as long as I'm doing some database optimization tasks there. Hope after this operation, the server 10 will run better. Thank you all a lot for your patience.

This was posted this morning at 7 am, so it looks like the server will be down for the day. 

Server 10 appears to be down again, even though every time I check the Forumer Status page, it says it's online.

Oh, there it is. "MySQL Server was not running at 15:30 February 17 2008." Sorry, folks. Hang in there.

The server seems to be down again. Three more servers are down as well, so it's not just us that are affected by it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The HTTP server is down as of about 7:25 PM (PST). Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT: It's back up.

arizonamyrie here.  Some of you may have noticed a slowdown in our server for HHoW.  I have been watching this and will let you know more of what is happening when something happens.

Fifteen minutes ago, when the problems started, Server 21 was listed as being down.  I just checked again and Server 2 has joined the list.   Right now everything else is up and running from what I can tell.  More than likely, one of the other servers has suffered a DDOS attack.  When this happens, for some reason, our server (number 10) seems to slow down a bit as well. 

If a page loads slowly, try refreshing or try re-entering HHoW.  These seem to work at the moment.

Aaand server's back up again.
