Support NeoGAF

[daripad]

I don't know why I couldn't get into this forum. I felt like my life was over

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

A lot of ups and downs.

 

[Delusibeta]

Yeah, Gaf is gonna need less boat puns, thanks.

 

[Kaladin]

It's only 4/19 still man, lay off the smokes.

 

[Rebel Leader]

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

I think it's cause of the developments in Boston, that thread is moving along quickly

 

[Mariolee]

It was down, we were forced to go about our lives or lackthereof.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

502 is the Neogaf area code.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Down multiple times in the past 48 hours.

 

[Strike]

[RumblingRosco]

Just you.

 

[daripad]

Yes. For future reference: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

Thanks, I won't make a topic like this from now on.

 

[I'm an expert]

Lol gaf can't even handle one thread in ot.. good luck with E3..

 

[A good poster]

Your life is over. Welcome to hell.

 

[SapientWolf]

Weren't some other sites going down? Like Reddit?

 

[Tagg9]

Pretty sure it was related to the Boston Marathon Bombing thread.

 

[Dosia]

So fucked for E3

 

[Meelow]

For E3 GAF will have to close down the off topic side and every single thread that isn't a Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft/Ubisoft/EA main conference thread.

 

[pompidu]

So fucked for E3

Those servers are gonna break

 

[daripad]

Your life is over. Welcome to hell.

Real life is hell, yes

 

[sunnz]

E3 seems like an up coming apocalypse for the servers.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

This website goes down more often than a cheap hooker during Mardi Gras

Prepare the IRC E3 chats for GAF's inevitable downfall in less than two months

 

[computers putin']

I have GAF Gold, it wasn't down for me.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

will donate 0.25 so we can have stable servers come E3!

 

[Replicant]

I'd say lock the forums for members only come E3.

Pretty sure evilore says he updates the servers every time something like this happens..and then something like this happens again.

 

[rrs]

E3 is going to be hell if non-gaming news can wipe out NeoGAF.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

We're gonna need a bigger boat

 

[i_am_ben]

It was a tad disappointing.

I've used Neogaf a lot for breaking news in the past but it looks like I might have to find a back-up now.

Hopefully it gets sorted out as Gaffers are pretty amazing at aggregating all the different news sources.

 

[AuthenticM]

Remember a month ago when Evilore said that he had just upgraded the servers and the site was equipped to handle massive spikes, and then the PS4 meeting happened three days later and everything crashed ?

Poor Evilore. I'm sure he's doing his best, but please, this CANNOT happen for E3.

 

[BLACKLAC]

.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

Boston Manhunt-GAF broke the site, sorry guys. >_>

 

[shira]

IGN is still down. WTF does it mean?

 

[Raptomex]

Yeah I was unable to get to GAF for the last 2 hours. I was deeply depressed.

 

[Oersted]

E3 alternative subneogafs incoming...

Real life is hell, yes

 

[LuffyZoro]

It's down right now.

 

[ffdgh]

I'd say lock the forums for members only come E3.

Now wheres the fun in that? Gaf will die anyway from all the E3 gifs lol.

 

[Toppot]

It was down, when E3 or a PS4/nextbox event happens, twitter and using the hashtag #neogaf will be the backup plan.

 

[Woorloog]

504?
If i get 504 trying to connect to GAF, is the problem with GAF or with something beetween router/moden and GAF?

We were hit by another severe DDoS attack a couple days ago and had to null route the IP for an hour or so, and today the webhost had some sort of critical power failure and needed to take some of the boxes offline to undergo maintenance for about two hours. We stayed up for most of it but without all the systems online the site went down for a while.

So there's the explanation. I'm pissed off any time we go down, but very little is within our control regarding the recent outages and we have a tremendous amount of server resources on hand. That's not the issue.

E3, well, I'll probably have Gromph temporarily expand the server array...double it, if necessary...for the conferences, just to increase the chances of success. Keep in mind that we're hitting quite a bit of growth and this is not a news site or blog with static content and media offloaded straightforwardly to a CDN. We're an extremely intensive database.

A DDoS attack? Just a random one? That's odd. has this happened before?

I'd imagine someone said something and you know what nerds on the internet are like.

Thank you for the explanation.

 

[blame space]

I hacked the board.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I hacked the board.

Why?

 

[Toppot]

Why?

Still bitter, over a terrible injustice.

 

[IISANDERII]

Yeah I got 502 error or something for most of yesterday.

So fucked for E3

No they shut off avatars. Do they shut off gifs too?
