was the result of our domain registrar. it should be fixed now, but it may take a period of time for dns information to propagate to your ISP

During the downtime, I happened to see that your server is through GoDaddy.

From reading several threads over on vBulletin Community Forum, GoDaddy is the worst and is not recommended.

I was waiting for you to post something like that. ;) You're as predictable as clockwork Amaury when it comes to server glitches/bugs. :D

FFS is hosted on GoDaddy.com? That's ironic, I saw an ad for them on TV yesterday encouraging people to pay them to domainsquat virtually. :P

godaddy is not our host. they're just our domain registrar.

all registrars are virtually identical so it's never been worth the hassle to me to transfer it from godaddy elsewhere.

By the way, weren't we going to upgrade sometime after the last hack?

we only upgrade when necessary for security issues

Yeah, I know. :) It was you yourself that said (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f7/ffs-hacked-113569/#post1988257) you'd be upgrading us.

Also, there was a recent patch (https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/409958-vBulletin-4-Security-Patch-for-Potential-Yahoo!-User-Interface-Library-Exploit-11-01-2012) released, but only for versions 4.1.12 and 4.2.0.

I think Sarah explained what happene, not ask for feedback. And we are back today anyway. No one missed anything life changing in the day we were down. Move along, citzens, nothing to see here.

Although, I will add thank you Sarah, for taking the time to get us up and running again. :awsm:

and here i declared national crisis when i logged into the site and got a "server not found".
i raised my arms in the air, yelled NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOO (tutal duration: 11 seconds), and called everyone i knew about this tragedy.

good to know it didnt dissapear

I could not even log to the forum with a proxy... so I have thought that FFS had ended up like the swedish guys of PirateBay... which cannot be accessed at all from my country.

Thanks for putting the forums back online anyway! :)

we don't use yui so it isn't relevant to us..

I'm assuming you got the SEO patch installed, of course, because that appeared to be the issue last time.

Anyway, did you change your mind, then? You did indeed say you'd be upgrading us, as shown in the link.

Amaury, give it a rest. If Sarah thinks this update ain't needed, that's her choice, end of story.

There's nothing wrong with asking questions.

I even thought that it was the end of ffshrine... .__. that'd be offline permanently... It's good to see that everything's normal again.

This forum goes down from time to time. I've learned to accept that. I try again the next day.

Thanks, Sarah, for fixing everything. I'd very much appreciate it if you could arrange for the next unscheduled downtime to occur NOT when I'm right in the middle of preparing a great post, though. ;)

It should have auto-saved it.

That's right, it was just a minor glitch, nothing to worry about humans, go back to playing outside at the park.

yeah. wer are all one big family.... really big.... this alwasy happnes just when everyone get's out of house to visit ....
their other families so they keep telling us "Now you have a new family! Now you dump us all!!"... which would not be bad idea at all. In my case of course.

perhaps we could get an ffshrine twitter or something, so that sarah can let us know what issue is or the like.

i dont use twiter, I us... a phone.... badly

The forum was down this morning.

Was it the same issue, Sarah?

unrelated but it's resolved now
