Forum was down yesterday without any prior announcement and warnings from admins.
If this was a planned maintenance that should be announced before, and if not than it should be posted in official telegram or other channels, this is very important for business that are advertising in forum.
What do you think about this incident and is there any official explanation posted?

The forum was often closed, I don't know why the admin updated the forum. And my profile was messed up especially karma got zero I was very scared. Therefore, before updating the forum, all members must be informed that the forum will be temporarily closed. We would have been very attentive if the admin had done this communication later.
-
Sometimes shit happens guys. I got the notification that all my karma was removed and tried accessing the forum to find that the host just wasn't responding. I happen to be 1 that has the admin on telegram so I sent him a message to find out that he was aware of the issue and working on getting it fixed. It was not a planned maintenance.
Just relax and be assured that when things happen, it's not intentional in most cases and people are working to fix the issue ASAP.

Maybe there was a notification, but since the forum was offline, we couldn't read it. ;)

What if it wasn't planned?
I believe that the admin (or whoever keeps these things under control) had much more important things to deal with than informing us that the forum is offline. No website owner likes it when his site is offline, now everything is fine. I hope that if there was, the problem has been fixed.

Most of the time, the forum goes offline due to a host issue rather than an admin issue; it also happens on other forums. The Karma glitch was the only thing that drew my attention, but it feels good to have everything back to normal. No panic

There was a short announcement from admin there:
Server currently offline, we'll be back shortly.
Might take up to 5h

I also experienced this down time sincerely speaking it's very annoying seeing that one was cut off without prior notice and a form of announcement to show that how long it would last before waking up back. It make one look very weak and sucking I believe before next shorting down a kind of memo should be posted or let the admins /mods announced to their various community and localities to able us be aware of the shutdown, except it was a domain attack which was restored back by the forum Dev.

wow thought was only me that experience such. I just received notification from my telegram notifier saying that have received a negative karma, which lead to all my karma's disappearing . So wanted to access the forum so that I can send some complains to the admin but I couldn't Access it . At first I was worried but just decided to give it some time, then lateron I received another notification saying have received the number of my karma's again then I was relief to see such notification, and I try accessing the forum and was working fine again.

Sometimes the AltcoinsTalks forum also has some problems and I can't access it. Maybe it's a server error and it usually lasts about 1 hour and no one can notify us in advance. I usually report this issue on AltcoinsTalks Telegram so admin can check and restore.
Yesterday, the forum's suspension was part of the admin's maintenance plan. Maintenance is not an unexpected incident, next time admin can notify about 1 day in advance so everyone knows and is prepared.
-
The error that happened here yesterday have actually happened before which I am aware of, but it didn't took so long like that of last night. For the yesterday gateway error, I was actually trying to publish my post before the error started, I checked back after one hour but same error was still there, I had to abandoned it till this morning before I could publish my post.
@OP, I don't think this was an international error, if really there was an intended maintenance, I guess the admin will mention it.

Ouh it turns out there is an official telegram group altcoinstalks forum, I didn't know about this. :D
When the forum went down we were confused about what happened, even though we knew it was probably routine maintenance but the question was karma that disappeared from the telegram notification but after that it came back again.
Thankfully we now know the channel.
-
I could not access the forum whole day and first thing I thought was that someone attacked the forum and tried to crush it because of new wave of advertising privacy services.
Creating independent forum status page would be cool to have, and there are some services who can do that, but I was wondering how often is stuff like this happening?

Good, I don't use Telegram, but I will bookmarket it.
5 hours is a lot of time, but the problem does not seem to be related to DDoS or hosting service. Having one person to monitor all of these things is very annoying, but it is difficult to trust many dev for running such forums, so I wish the best to @admin.

This karma case really gave me a mini heart attack, haha, as when I saw mine went to zero, I started to have thoughts of what would I have done wrong, I didn't scam anyone, did nothing wrong, and at the end, I have this thought that is it April, maybe this forum have some April fool thing and this is just a trick to fool us into thinking that we lost all of our karma. But then I realize its not April hehe.
Well, the time here in my place was of morning when the forum was down, so I was not affected by its being down, but what's I was more affected is the negative karma notification. After seeing the notification and seeing the website down, I assumed it might be a glitch so, I slept again, and after waking again, I checked and confirmed it was really a glitch.
I hope in future we might not have to see such problems.

Shortly ;D I am sure it was more than 5 hours with forum being offline and not accessible, but good thing it came back up again.
This @AltcoinsForum is talking group chat in telegram, is there any official announcement channel for forum?
I found out there is another telegram channel with last ANN post made in December 31.
Is this legit and official or fake? https://t.me/altcoinstalks

It is official. The link to it can be found at the top of the forum in the line of links to official social media accounts of the forum. But there was no announcement about this situation this time, so I gave a link where there was news.

Is there a chance to ban any kind of promotion and sharing of airdrop information on this TG channel?
All these things already exist on the forum, and some of us are not obsessive about worthless airdrops.

I see only one spammy post (https://t.me/AltcoinsForum/20510 (https://t.me/AltcoinsForum/20510)). Strange it wasn't deleted yet, it should be, because it is obviously spam. If you see any other spammy posts, please share them to understand what's the problem.

OK, it can always happen that some spam gets through. I'm fine if it's an incident and not a regularly permitted behaviour.
When he already talked about the forum being down, I received a message from the server a while ago that it was overloaded. Everything returned to normal very quickly, I hope we don't have a problem with hosting.

Can you please use this telegram channel instead for posting only important information and updates.
Thank you.

I received the same error message few minutes ago when I tried to open new page.
Clicking on refresh button fixed it, but this is the first time I saw it since I teleported here.

I just saw this as well

Maybe it is better to create a custom page for this kind of error.
Something with altoinstalks logo and a message "server under maintenance "

Several times I encountered a page like this, when I wanted to view my profile, when I wanted to reply to a post, when I wanted to open several sub forums, this kind of error often appeared.
It seems you are right, that this is a hosting problem, and I think this should be fixed immediately, because to be honest, this is a bit annoying when I want to be active on this forum.

I can confirm that the problem is still ongoing, the error rate has become less, but it is annoying. I hope it will end quickly.
-
And from time to time, when we post in the last 24 hours, the forum will act strange and says it is down.
But then when I retry and resend my reply it will get in.
Maybe the admin is really tweaking a lot from the server side as the traffic could be getting bigger by every day as most of us have transported here.
-
I don`t know if anyone else has encountered this, but I came across this page (shared below) today and after clicking on the "now click here" it will take you back to Homepage instead of your intended page, did the admin intentionally do this or is it a bug also?
I didn`t see the need to create a new thread since this one is partially related, so I decided to ask the question here.

I had the same error page today.
Refreshing page didnt help, so I had to close it and open again.
Maybe admin is making some changes in forum, but this error pages started to happen after server issue when forum was not available for a long time.

It happened again, but this time I wanted to vote in a poll when the error came in and on clicking "Now click here" it took me to the homepage again. It won`t be nice if it keeps occurring frequently cause it could be seen as a nuance, imagine after typing all you want to say and clicking "post" these pages pop up and all that you`ve written will be lost (since there is no draft that`ll save it automatically).
Admin, should work on it and get rid of it completely or limit the number of times it appears daily.

admin explained in other threads. The error occurs after the server upgrade, work is being done to fix it.
Keep in mind that it is much more complicated to search for and fix a bug if the application is live and you have a certain number of users at any time.

it is not something that anyone can limit to a certain number during the day. It is an error message, and only when the error has been corrected the message will stop appearing.

Now, I am actually wondering if it makes sense for us to always come up with a new "forum down" thread anytime we try accessing the forum and can't due to maybe an unplanned maintance or something similar, we all know that anything can happen any time as long as the internet is concerned, if it's not a ddos attack, it could be other unprecedented issues with the server, or the host, which could cause the forum to go offline at any time without prior notice, the admin can't be blamed because it's absolutely no fault of his, infact, he's been working really hard to ensure the smooth running of the forum as far as I can tell.
We should expect things like this to happen from time to time; and not come up with threads like this every time the forum is unaccessible for whatever reason, for we all know it will always come back up even though it takes some time.

The only issue I have is the fact that users don`t keep all the complaints in a single thread; if all the complaints were being made in a single thread, it would have made more sense and also prevented clustering of "forum-related" boards with error threads. It would be nice if anyone experiencing this issue came to this thread and commented on his/her own issues rather than creating a new thread for theirs.
In bitcointalk, even if there's a 15-minute downtime of the forum, you`ll still see threads popping up here and there complaining about being unable to access the forum, but the only difference is that over there, duplicate threads are being reported and deleted.

Situation is getting better and I didnt experience any error pages today, everything is loading fast and maybe admin already fixed those server problems.
We should all have more patience and understanding for altcoinstalks team.

Lucky for you mate but in my side? there are lots of GERR error yesterday that I need to rest for some hour as it is frustrating when you wanted to post your typing and suddenly this GERR will appear even how many times I refreshed the Site? lets see today if this will still happen(hoping not ).
