Imagine how we feel when our ISP, which supposedly has redundant links, seems to have perennial peering issues

Thx for posting this. I was wondering what was happening, since the forums are down as well. Now I can link people to this that don't have LJ.

Oh well!
My deliciously attrocious art from 2004 that I just found will have to wait :P

pérhaps god seen your stuff as a sin, and took down the server?
XD

Total suck, I was wondering why both the site and forums were down. Usually the forums are still up.

I hope they fix it soon, it sucks when there's nothing you can do about it too.

The forums used to be hosted on a VPS (Virtual Private Server) at another location, for exactly this reason. Unfortunately, the amount of traffic the Forums get started overtaxing the VPS and causing problems, so they were moved to, IIRC, another "slice" of Novastorm, where FA's other systems are. This let us give it all the resources it needed, but at the cost of the risk of this situation right here.

This. We've been working on getting an off-site host, but, uh... real-life concerns.

Awww. Lousy ISP, breaking down in the middle of a commission I'm trying to do. Damn you, FA's ISP!

....... Nevermind. :) And how did you know my cable kept going out? Genius!

Anyway, best of luck getting it all back up and running.

[thevirtualcat]

Yeah, but you can only get that if the median income in your neighborhood is high enough.

[khirainshambles]

Amen to that. Last I checked, a few years ago, that still wasn't the case. Still, it doesn't hurt to look.

[ranotops]

Phew, lol I was really hoping it wasn't something on my end. Still sucks to hear it's a whole cluster fuck though.
