Title: Mothership Failure
Post by: Dextrous63 on September 27, 2022, 02:00:34 PM
Has the mothership gone down?  Is this what happened last year which led to this place being created?

It's working ok for me, but yes we did start to have these problems so Klondike set up this place so that we wouldn't lose each other if the Mothership finally ceased to exist !   That didn't happen and a lot of the problems were sorted, but there was also a lot of bad feeling  against us here, with the PF owner not believing the reasons for the 'set up' we had over here.   A lot of water under the bridge since then and we're still here 😁😁😁

Working for me just now. What happened was persistent shortish downtimes of 10 to 30 minutes or occasionally longer. There was a cloudflare error page with iirc a 520  error indicating that the site server was down.

I put that down to it being on free hosting and the fix being to pay but I could have been wrong. Chris came up with some BS about it being a faulty router

Maybe I should resurrect my outages script....

Ah.  Thanks.  Think it was a 302 forbidden page error.  Will screenshot it if it happens again.  Was down for maybe 15 or so minutes.

I used to keep a track of when it was down by having a script check once a minute if it was up. There are free services which will do the same thing https://uptimerobot.com/

I have one of theirs running on Letschat

Any chance of getting the refund back?  We won't need you to give us that after dinner speech after all 😉😂😂

Is that 63 in your id related in any way to the 85 in Aliens 3?

From wiki "Francis Aaron, nicknamed "85" (after his IQ)".

Harsh indeed. 

Anyway, no.  It's the number of forums I've been banned from  :yay: :clap:

I can easily sod you off from this one if you want to make it 64...

Handy tip - figure out who you are taking the piss at before indulging yourself.

Give me a day or two.  Gotta arrange a whip round, which might end up coinciding with Halloweeen.  Will you accept a selection of sweets instead?

Careful Klondike, my mother warned me against men offering sweets.  :grin:  :grin:  :grin:

The uptime robot monitor that I set up didn't catch that one. There has only been one short outage recorded since I set it up. It was probably less than the 5 minutes reported as that would be the minimum.

Are we talking about the Mother Ship having problems again GM ?
I haven't had problems on here, are you saying we've had outages here too Klondy ?
Title: Re: Mothership Failure
Post by: GrannyMac on October 21, 2022, 12:00:30 PM
It was on PF Alex. No problems here.
Title: Re: Mothership Failure
Post by: klondike on October 21, 2022, 12:13:08 PM
PF have only had the one incident recorded since I added the monitor for there on 28 September and that was short. I'm going to remove that monitor now - it's none of my business. I only added it to answer dextrous who buggered off when I responded to his insult with one of my own and forgot to bin it at the time.

Does that mean that Dextrous has done a flounce..?
Or was he never here.?  
Title: Re: Mothership Failure
Post by: klondike on October 22, 2022, 09:18:25 AM
He deleted the userid. There will be no need to turn ids to Flouncer any more to meet GDPR requirements as what gets done by the forum software is fine. All details of the user are removed and they are shown as guest. I have now made that a user choice that doesn't need admin approval

Several years ago not long after I joined PF I had enough of a couple of members taking swipes at everything I posted and decided to leave. I deleted my account, or it said I had, but I could still see it there. When I came back 4 years later all I had to do was sign in and everything was there. So much for deleting my account.
