.
-
No. Not for me at least.
-
Is the main site down for any one else?
Nope...
-
No indeed
-
Maybe Steve was updating the site?
-
How are you posting if the site is down? Unless you posted afterwards, but thentheres really no point in posting...
-
OH MY GOD THE SITE IS DOWN!
QUICK! Get me a glass of warm water!

Holy crud, did anyone else have problem trying to getting on the site on Monday?
-
Holy crud, did anyone else have problem trying to getting on the site on Monday?
Yeah, did all night.
-
All day.
-
The power went down at the main hosting center, and then the backup power went down. It actually affected thousands of web sites, including this one, but it has obviously been fixed.
-
yep i couln't get on the site either, and i am in australia
-
I thought you were making the switch to a dedicated server.
-
Is it just me or have the forums been running super slow? They're fine now, but like 20 mins ago I kept having timed out errors
-
It is a dedicated server. The entire data center went down, meaning that thousands of servers went down at once, including this one.
-
It's not very dedicated to its job if it just decides to quit. Come on! We need the Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! Guys here!
-
I almost had a seizure, Steve! Don't let the site go down again!
-
I couldnt get on the site for the hole day yestarday :'( i tryed again at 7:00 and it worked.
-
Sorry for necrobumping this.
I just wanted to say that the site has been going down more often than it used to. Why do you think that is happening? :-\
-
No idea but I would not be surprised if it had something to do with the other little "problems" that we have been having...
-
The damn site keeps crapping out every few hours. When is Steve going to address it?
I know he is busy but it has been a very very long time. Does anyone else around here know how this stuff works? Ask Steve to make you the maintenance team or something.
**EDIT**
Today is some of the worst it has ever been. When is something going to be done about this?
-
Steve restarted the server, lets see if that helps.
-
I just noticed there was an old thread about this same thing, just saying...
-
I'm having real trouble with the forum side of the site today. It was going really slow all morning and for the past hour or so it's been down all together for me. Is anyone else getting this and is there a reason for it?
-
Same here. I hope we can return to how it used to be, right after Steve switched server.
-

I keep getting that message. I have to hit refresh to see the a new page. What does it mean?

I didn't get an error, mine just loaded blank. I wish this were fixed.
Edit: Er, okay... I just got your first error too...
-

I'm getting them too, I just emailed Steve.

Please note the time of this post. I need to double check my sanity.

That... is strange. Do not worry, you are not insane.
Yet.
-
have anyone else noticed that this site is getting slower....this site takes a long time to load and other sites remain as speedy as usual...is it me or the site?
-
Must be you I'm zipping about.
-
No it's slow for me too.
-
Not as fast as usual. Sometimes the page doesn't want to load at all. It's annoying, but I'm ok as long as it doesn't get worse.
-
Sometimes getting not the forums is painfully slow, then any subsequent browsing of the forums is fast.
-
Sometimes my Internet will suddenly shut off in the middle of something important, but that's probably just me :-\ It seems to happen more here.
-
This is one of the slowest sites I've been on. But (at least for me) its been like that for a really long time.
-
he has been around he has made 1 or 2 posts.
-
personally it has never been faster
-
it takes longer for me to get on the main message board
but it seems to be pretty normal after that
-
Did the whole site go down for a 5 mins or so just now?
-
Did the whole site go down for a 5 mins or so just now?
Yeah, I think so.
-
**breathes a sigh of relief**
ah, thats alright then, as long as it's a known random crash, then we can all pretend like it didn't happen!
-
Happened for like a very short second early in the day as well when I clicked a link but that only lasted like 2 seconds it seemed.
-
Alright ... finally the site is back to normal. I just installed an additional 1 MB on the server and the site is finally running super-crazy-fast like it should.
And now I can finally get going on the rest! ;D
-
anyone else not able to get on for a long time earlier today?
-
The http server was down and I couldn't get in to do a reset for some reason. So it took a bit longer for the server hosts to restart the server.
But all is back to normal, no worries.
-
D-do you want us to march on their headquarters?
'Cause we'll do it! Right guys???
-

My doctor said not to march for atleast 3 months.
I can storm, charge, or set fire to the headquarters though.
-
Yay. Finally. No forums was putting a dent in my daily procrastinating.

Yep mine too :P
-
Heh. A-levels. Have fun with those :P
-
A-levels are time consuming.
You really think so? You're in for a nasty shock if/when you get to uni.
-
Last term I had 7 hour days. <eye twitches>
They started at 9, I had an hour's break at 2... then I had a three hour practical.
So uh...site... down...
-
Alright ... finally the site is back to normal. I just installed an additional 1 MB on the server and the site is finally running super-crazy-fast like it should.
Megabyte?
-
The forum sure is slow today.
-
Tell me about it, and there isn't even a unusually large amount of guests on.
-
Hmm... it seems to have gotten better all of the sudden...
When did Steve say he was getting that new server in place?
-
Anyone else feel that?
-
The forum has been randomly slow for me, too.
-
I just had a major error... it logged me off and the forum template got all wonky.
Seems good now though. Oh hey, in case any of you care, I'm still getting that validation error when I click "Mark as Read".
*shrug*
-
Well, I'm not sure why the site was down, but I'm glad it's back.
-
Oh I forgot to report, yesterday the site was down for a while at about 6AM EST.
-
So I guess we all noticed that last one, right?
:P
-
Yeah, I noticed today.
-
Crappy Barbecue FTW. I guess I missed that whole fiasco.
-
Finally. I haven't been able to get in for hours.
-
Same. It sucked. I had to content myself with Bash.org...
-
Woah... did we have a big time-out or what?
(http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h284/gec05/woah.png?t=1185587457)
A huge chuck of people just left and then came back on.
-
Has the site been glitching out for anyone else? I keep having to refresh a couple times to get a page to load.
-
My PM box is all messed up. The messages are not appearing when I am notified. It seems to fix itself but there is a delay of a few minutes.
-
Maybe it's because you have too many of them. :P
-
Whoah....
The site just whent down for a bit there. Felt like an hour...
-
Huh.
That was odd.
Glad it's fixed now though.
Thanks Steve and Company!
Although I am curious what the cause was...
-
The entire forum AND site were down since yesterday for me. Just came back up now.
-
They were down for approximately 20 hours. Good to have it back!
-
I was getting worried there for a bit.
-
Was down for me. ;D
-
It was down for everyone.
-
Man, that took a long time. :P
-
So, what happened?
-
So, what happened?
AID's! Auto Internets Delinquency!
...that sounded better up here *taps head*.
-
I went into shock so it didn't feel like that long.
Though I was afraid I would have to make minature dolls of every and then make them talk to each other.

Oh thank god I was the only one...I'm just glad I never actually got those dolls...yes...*looks from side to side nervously and puts those freaky deaky toy things with the trippy hair styles into a cardboard box*
-
Now I'll have to keep my guard up whenever I get haircuts, lest there be a sneaky stlamania behind me, collection bag at the ready. ;)
Anyway, is there an official reason for the downtime? Did the servers just go on the fritz or something?
-
*gasps* Heh, wha? Blasphemous! I would never try to take you, *tugs on your arm feebly*, please get into the big box!
It's technology, you can never trust it...it doesn't need a reason to bug out on us, it just does.
-
I was forced to sign up with other forums just to pass the time... I also slept and went to work.
-
Server went down, I didn't notice until yesterday. Normally it will restart itself but I changed the root password and forgot to change the password in the file for the restart procedure.
Quickly restarted it and now it's fine (took all of 5 seconds). Sorry about that.
-
Did that just happen or was it just caused by my Maths class and rain outside making me fall asleep next to the fumes of year old chewing gum and making me have a trip?
1 posts befo-
SHUT UP!
-
That stinks...
Tell me the password and I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.
-

:D
-
Huzzah it is back up!
-
Really?
I hadn't noticed!
;)
-
Only the people who have an unhealthy habit of visiting this site would...
>_>
<_<
-
I had to read Uncyclopedia! Do you have any idea how painful that is?
-
Uncyclopedia? No wonder why you're so... ...
No wait, I'll just be nice now.
-
No wonder why you're so... ...
No wait, I'll just be nice now.
What? I just said what I did instead.
-
Nevermind...
-
Nevermind...
What? Just tell me what's wrong!
-
I know it's hard Eligecos; stay strong!
-
*Pats HW on the head
We'll tell you when you're older...
-
There is something wrong with the site!! I can acess the site and the forum with my laptop but I can't with my desktop. All I get there is a blank page that it's parked with godaddy.com. Oviraptor is getting the the same thing. We are writing Steve about the problem. It appears that a few people can get here and some can't. That is why the forum seems so slow at the moment.
(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n100/GamingLadyM/GS.png)
-
I got that for the last two hours, but now it seems to be back to normal.
-
All the emails to Steve got bounced back but I did see a pm and I see he is on now so I hope he got the message.
-
Ovi just said on the IRC that it's back to the DNS screen for him. It seems to be bouncing back and forth.
-
Steve is now aware of the problem and it's being fixed. It should be working normal soon.
-
It's working properly for me again. Maybe this time it's for good.
-
Very odd. I hope the Domain have not been Hjacked :-\
-
It is fixed. GoDaddy just made a mistake with the DNS ... good freaking timing.
But it was a simple fix and I yelled at GoDaddy. Grrrrr...

"Tell 'em Steve Dave". hahaha, just kidding around sir. Honestly, it happened to me between 6:00 - 11:00am and I thought it only happened to me like once.
-
Thank goodness everything is back to normal...
I thought the place was gone for good, boy was I wrong. :)
-
I thought that XSpore was going to bribe Godaddy into shutting it down so that they could buy it, and then XSpore would shut it down. Good thing you got it back.
-

:)Just gotta find the pride inside for Steve. I didn't want to call him the big cheese or say "You are the duke of New York, you ain't #1" to him because I don't want to disrespect the boss. Btw, were all cool guys, just like Fonzie....."Aaaaaaa" 8)
-

That is very parinoid.
-
Some people are still having trouble connecting to the forums, all they get is the godaddy.com site
-
Yeah it relapsed for me but things are back now. Some folks will just need to wait a while for the Internet to uncross its eyes.
-
Thanks, Henqix, now it's back for the second time.
-
Will...Will it.... every be over? :(
-
Will...Will it.... every be over? :(
Lets hope so. I was really about to flip out about the damn go daddy crap, I thought they were trying to throw this website out of business. Other than that, you weren't around when I was agitated about this crap Forrest you slacker. >:(
-
Everything seems to be fine down here, other than the occasional server error. But that probably has more to do with my ISP than the site itself, so I'm safe...
for now...
This really has to get fixed. Some RP's in the Spork: Roleplaying and Story Games Corner have virtually died out. :-\
-
An RP dying out in two or three days of downtime has less to do with server issues and more to do with the people playing it I'd wager. :)

Domain Name: GAMINGSTEVE.COM
Created on: 22-Feb-05
Expires on: 22-Feb-10
Last Updated on: 22-Feb-08
I checked. Apparently it expired 3 years after he bought it. So...
-
It went down because the account was reset. The renewal should have nothing to do with it, thats an accounting thing but it could have been related if someone did something wrong.
Anyway, its up and running fine now. Steve talked to them and it's sorted out.
:)
-
Did the site just have a seizure?
-
I'm not sure. It was going pretty slowly for me a few minutes ago.
-
Man the server's got some really bugs.
It's hard to navigate here, place is becoming slow and unresponsive.
What's going on ???
-
Attachments?
The insane amount of users?
All the youtube links?
-
The server was supposed to have been updated in anticipation for the increased load. Considering how well the transition went... don't be shocked. :P
-
Did someone cross the proton streams?
-
I got super long load times for about 2 hours... So yah...
-
When I type in www.gamingsteve.com it straight away comes up with a Page Load Error notice. Just thought I'd let you Mods know, in case anyone else is having this problem.
-
Try removing the Gaming Steve cookie, there may be a conflict in there somewhere. If that doesn't work, wait a bit and see if the problem doesn't fix itself. Should that not work... find religion.
**EDIT**
Hey you know what, it probably isn't Firefox. The forum's been acting up a lot this week.
-
Woo! Looks like all of the site's unreliability over the last week is coming to a head today!
-
Yeah, because it loads just fine here on Firefox.
-
Works fine for me on FF.
Try clearing all your cookies incase there was a hidden one messing it up.
-
The site does that once in awhile. Refreshing the page usually takes care of it.
-
Hmmm.. well I have no problem with the site on any browser, though there has been a considerable amount of lag especially when I'm between making a post.
It's not severe but it gets annoying from time to time.
-
That's just the site debating if it really wants to post your comment.
-
Did the site just die for anyone else, or was it just me?
-
It was down.
-
Everyone else, Slarti.
Always does this in the midday.
-
Been awhile since I've been here midday. Didn't know it was "normal." Carry on then.
-
Don't call it that.
Don't get used to it. Let it haunt you.
We'd rather like something done about it... rather than just accept it.
-
No. Resign yourself to your fate.
Resistance is futile.
-
I think we may have had a little hiccup on the site today. Anyone else had trouble?
-
Hiccup? The site died for like an hour XD
-
Well Steve is here. Maybe he'll tell us what happened.
-
Well Steve is here. Maybe he'll tell us what happened.
thats likely [/sarcasm]
my connection has been choppy for the past few days.
-
Yea, both the site and the forum were down, I kept getting an error about not bieng able to connect to the server here.
-
Steve reset the server in an effort to fix our email problem. He said that other problems arose so that's probably what caused the hiccups.
-
It happened again this morning, although for a shorter period of time. I assume that it's Steve resetting the server again?
-
No idea, it happened for me too.
-
It seems we had a hiccup for a good hour or two just now.
-
The site is extremely slow for me today, loading a new page takes at least one minute.
