Just wondering if anyone else had problems getting onto the site today? I tried to check out torn a few times between 12 and 2pm but kept getting a fatal error message! I couldn't access torn at all.

It's been fine for me [In reply to] Can't Post

I haven't accessed it a ton today, but every time I have I've had no problems. Maybe you just tried at high server load times and I didn't. Smile

Must have been a Gremlin attack here then! Glad that the fatal error didn't last though! Crazy

I could not get on this morning. [In reply to] Can't Post

Neither to the Boards nor TheOneRing.net, from at least 7 am - 10 am EDT.

I just figured that Corvar was doing some maintenance. Smile

There you go [In reply to] Can't Post

I think I first logged in after that, so I must have missed all the fun. I didn't hear anything from Corvar about doing maintenance, but he usually only alerts me if I raise an alarm. That was probably the cause.

Worse... [In reply to] Can't Post

I actually had to focus on work while in work, still makes me shudder! This could however raise a prospect/ thread topic: what do you do when torn becomes suddenly unavailable!? This should surely be part of the FAQs or at least a coping thread could be stickified to let torn sibs know what to do when the hub (torn) goes awol for a time!

I think they were giving the new boards a trial run on the server // [In reply to] Can't Post

Or possibly the new live-chat function with Weta staff made the boards go fzzzt. / [In reply to] Can't Post

The whole site was unavailable for me late last night. [In reply to] Can't Post

I'm glad to see it up and working today.

Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known.

Distressing, ain't it? [In reply to] Can't Post

That happened to me yesterday morning when I couldn't get onto TORn for what felt like hours...

For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood and every spring
there is a different green. . .

Oohh - maybe the TORN servers got pulled into a Weta Massive run simulating the Battle of Dagorlad! // [In reply to] Can't Post
