Hello all, Hopefully you guys can read this but I just wanted to apologise for the site falling over quite frequently lately. I was not aware the host had got this bad and I have vented yours and my own frustrations to them. To clarify the problem is a hosting issue, not with the site itself and as I have mentioned to others if the hosting service does not resolve the issue soon and in a satisfactory manner I will be forced to move us to some where else. If you do experience any problems please let me know so I can escalate the issue asap. Thank you for your patience.

Cep could you post your email(s) again, so we can contact you if we have problems? I know I have tried a couple of times using the gatchamania dot net link but I don't think they are getting through to you. (or maybe they are and you have been swamped with many similar messages.)

Thank you for taking care of us Cep!

Hi cloud I have sent you a message, so chek your mail. I think the email issues are also host related.

Plus when you find the site down if you could post any error messages, including the time and your location that would also help me too.

Thank you Cep! I too suspect the email issues are also host problems.

Hello all, I have been told that an issue with our server has been fixed today. Please let me know if this is not the case. Cheers Cep

great news Cep! let's hope this is the end of it all, although I'm sure if we do encounter any more problems, you will be the first to know.

Fantastic news. It will be great to know this site is reliable again And, I am sure someone will let you know if a problem occurs again

Thanks, Cep! That's great to hear!

Thank you Cep

eek, let's not celebrate too soon, it's been down again today, fortunately only lasted 10 minutes, it was back by the time I'd sent Cep my E-mail!!! Still, I have to admit, it is a big improvement.

Maybe it just doesn't like you, KT!

I'm thinking you could be right... just minutes after I posted that last comment, it went down again!!

Sorry!

OK done, our host says our server crashed. Please let me know if it happens......again....

Have there been any problems today?

Not since I've logged on, Cep, but will let you know if there are.

I have not come across any yet.

I had to put my userid and password in to get in, but that was it. Thanks for all the hard work, Cep!

Bah, it happened again this morning.... went down for about 25 minutes! Looks like it's not permanently resolved just yet...

From my part, thankfully, I didn't encounter any problems the first time I tried to log in this afternoon, after days of absence! Many thanks for your work, Cep!

Guess I have talked too early! The site hanged as I was going to send a message just a few minutes ago, giving me an SQL database error! At least, I didn't have to wait for long to return!

no worries Marie, I'm doing that all the time.... well it seems that way sometimes

Thanks for that tap on the shoulder, KT! Have to tell you that when I'd finally find some time to spend on the site I'd become sad if I couldn't!

There's always the Crescent temp base, if you get too lonely.... http://z7.invisionfree.com/Crescent_Temp_Base/index.php?

Thanks, KT! I used to hang there when the same happened some long time ago! Those were days ... when I used to have ample time to spend even hours browsing! Maybe, by coincidence, nowadays I'm not having too much problems, since it seems that when I'd have time to peek in I don't find many, but just a few like this one time! I would have gladly jumped in the Crescent Temp Base if I'd have seen that the problem would have taken a long time to solve itself today, though! Thanks again for reminding me of the place!

Well I've had another fresh round complaining at the host, it would appear that the database service on the server is crashing periodically and I am pushing for an explanation and resolution to the issue.

Thank you, Cep, for doing all you are to keep this site up and operational! As I am sure you have been told, it would surely be missed if this place ever permanently went down. There is a wealth of information, links and resources through out the threads that would be lost.

Hi Cep! I got an error message this morning, but now (obviously ) it works.

Just so you know, for months I had trouble linking to this site from other sites. I had to go back to my home page to get here. However, for the last few days, that problem seems to be solved, and I'm getting here quicker, too.

Well I'm still not happy with the host at this point so I am looking for a new one.

Good Luck Cep.

Thanks for keeping us updated, Cep. I hope you are amble to smoothly transition to the new site!

I got these errors earlier today: --- SQL-DATABASE ERROR Database error in WoltLab Burning Board: Link-ID == false, connect failed mysql error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) mysql error number: 2003 Date: 13.08.2013 @ 20:23 Script: /search.php?searchid=116015&sid= Referer: --- Server Error 500 - Internal server error.
