Forum down!

[notblox1]

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.

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  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
