Yeah, this is getting ridiculous, and not in a good way.

Maybe I am just unlucky, but each time I go to the site it seems to be down. lol. This time was an exception though. :-D

It was down again for a few hours overnight. I blame Daylight Savings Time. ;)

There were some malformed URLs being requested that were generating quite a few errors in the ColdFusion logs, so much so that the log files were maxing out and being automatically moved/deleted by the server several times per day. It's possible this high disk activity had something to do with the outages. I put some error handling into the offending component so those malformed URLs simply redirect to the forum home page.

Let me know if you experience any further outages. If you do, I'll have the hosting service continue to investigate.

It seems to be going down more frequently but for less time. It was down twice today but only for about five minutes or so.

I've noticed this as well.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

I must be pretty lucky to hit that 5 minute period almost every single time I'm trying to access the forums then.

But yeah, not much has changed if it has at all.

I have noticed no difference. The site was down for well over an hour beginning at about 10:20 MST.

Something popped out here also (don't know if you could zoom this I had problems getting the whole screen in at normal size).

^That happens to me all the time and it happened before the site started going down. I think that's a separate issue. When I get a similar error message the page usually loads right away if I refresh it, so I don't think it's the site going down.

I just got off the phone with support and they're going to escalate the issue. I'm expecting a call back from one of the support managers later today to talk more about it.

Basically, the ColdFusion service is shutting down and they haven't been able to identify the cause. They've been restarting the service to get around the problem while they attempt to diagnose it, but the tech I spoke with agreed that it's been going on far too long and it needs more eyes on it.

They owe you a refund for all the cumulative downtime. ;)
