Whether you were right or wrong at least it was something to read while Apterous is down for the 25th time this month..Matt Morrison wrote:What does it matter, I'm trying to be helpful.Charlie Reams wrote:What makes you think that?Matt Morrison wrote: At the moment though, the computer/server itself is working fine - which is why you don't get a "can't access server" error, and why downforeveryoneorjustme reports that the site is fine. The problem is a SOFTWARE problem on Charlie's PC and not the hardware - it is suffering from a database connection error which means the website is down, not the whole server.

Re: Is Apterous down?
Website working this morning but can't get onto the game window (i.e. after clicking Play). Attempt 18 of 500 is as far as I need to go to convince myself.
This is all a bit frustrating especially after yesterday's "go slow" too.

Re: Is Apterous down?
It's here. It's obviously not mentioned in relation to apterous, and I'm also not suggesting that he has done so, but I also wouldn't believe for a second that he wouldn't do it.Nick Boldock wrote:Link?

Re: Is Apterous down?
I'd love it if he was dumb enough to do that, what with it being a criminal offence carrying a sentence of up to 10 years. I've forgotten what Richard's problem is to be honest (apart from paranoid scizophrenia) but I'm sure a brief jail spell would help clear his mind.Jon Corby wrote:Coincidentally, RB has been talking (not disparagingly) about DoS attacks over on Gandiseeg...

Is there an approximate guess as to when it'll be back up? There was a tourney due at 8pm this evening - I can reschedule it for another day but will host it this evening if it's not too late.

Re: Is Apterous down?
The website is up but the game isn't allowing connections. When I click the "PLAY" link on the main page it shows "Attempt N of 500", where N slowly counts up.
Looks like it stopped working at about 19:35.

Re: Is Apterous down?
Can't get apterous to open most of the time, and when it does it won't open any game windows. I use the "down for everyone" site and it says this is only my problem, but I can't get it to load on any computers.
EDIT: I was able to get the Daily Duel to work, but no luck with games I want to start. Also, my chat is not working.
EDIT2: Other people can challenge me and play, and I can play Ascension, but I can't challenge bots to games.

Hmm. I went on down for everyone or just me and it said it was just me and when I clicked the link to the site on that page it loaded but it still doesn't come up when I type apterous.org in to my address bar.

Re: Is Apterous down?
It's still down. Beginning to get withdrawal symptoms.
Considering that the Apterous-namechecking CoBliviLon article is one of the most viewed/shared on the Independent website at the moment, this is probably quite a bad time for it to be down.
