NationStates is experiencing server trouble
NationStates appears to be having server difficulty. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you would like to notify admin, write to admin@nationstates.net. This is probably not necessary, though, since we have tens of thousands of users -- if you don't, someone else will.


Upgrade? Anniversary Celebration cracked the server? :wink:

Heh...

There's a few possibilities...

I'm leaning towards server crash though out of personal preference, as the other two aren't that appealing...

Yep, server's crashed and then not restarted properly I'll bet.

I'm wondering whether to draw a link between Salusa's 'Makeover' and the server troubles...

Or is that one of your other two?

Heh, only if we weren't invited to the real party...I mean it would have to be good to cause a server crash.

*Imagines the champagne flowing...right over Max' keyboard*

So, that means we all go out and make new nations immediately, right?
Just kidding!

Yup, I had to do a fourm login to get on at all.

I still have the nation I made last time it crashed. Can't beat those good ol' buggy nations 8)

Yes...

The third being [violet] finally decided to rm -rf /nationstates. ;)

Well, you can reduce those options to 2 now, at least

Although the rm -rf isn't promising

Actually, that would me rm - rf /cgi-bin which is where all the game data is stored :wink:

It's probably more like /home/nationstates/cgi-bin or /usr/apache/cgi-bin. :P

But everything might be stored under /nationstates

Although, technically, I would have thought it would be rm -fr ./nationstates

Nope. I meant /nationstates. ;)

Even worse would have been rm -rf /, hehehe...

But that would have killed everything, including the forum :wink:

Forum's probably on a seperate server, given it hasn't gone down...

Peng: You think NS is stored directly under root?

NS down...........must have more NS...........getting withdrawl symtoms.......gah!

Ahhh, thank the <insert diety here> for counter strike, another dangerously addictive past time......... :?

It's Y1! Damn, I knew I should have chosen option 2...

Don't panic folks, NS should be up soon. :wink:

It's working for me now.

IT LIVES!

IT LIVES! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

What happened this time?

What was great just then was the 30-40 second delay after Unfree posted and we all went to check on our own nations as fast we could. lol

We're becoming worryingly predictable...

What happened this time?

Domo-kun in the works.

lol... what really flipped me out is I logged into it, went back to the forum, posted, clicked the back button to NS and encountered the error message again.

Luckily it worked on the second try...

Probably just grabbed the cached page when you clicked the back button

Who knows. Bottom line is, it's working now.

This just proves how sadly addicted we all are... lol

Yes, it didn't work for me at first and I began to suspect Unfree of being in on the party the rest of us weren't invited to. Hehe. Then, three excrutiatingly long seconds later, there is was. "Aaaaaaahh!"

Good to see Unfree and NuMetal here tonight worrying as well, even if I did think Unfree may have spilt the champagne on Max' keyboard. :P

Lol that's it, I am secretly helping them plot against you all...

Perhaps it was [violet] hitting their head against the brick wall that is this forum that messed things up? :lol:

It may very well be.

Is it just me, or are the forums now moving tediously slowly? The game is back up but not what I'd call in optimal conditions :?

Anywhere else I go, once the problem's done with it's either "So, how 'nout them Steelers?" or Buckeyes, and everything's back to business as usual. Here, it's "So, how 'bout them hamsters*?" back to business as usual, but at least here we recognize that it's just an excuse to bitch with relief.

*I always imagine the servers powered by cute little hamsters running on wheels. Gives it an excuse to be sluggish and lazy, and gives me a chuckle to imagine rodents dead from exhaustion needing to be cleaned up and replaced to fix a server outage.

I keep getting errors similar to these:

Warning: Too many connections in /home/nation/public_html/forum/db/mysql4.php on line 48

Yay! Uber-bitchy forums, to boot! :roll:

The problem switched from the main server to the forum server, it seems. That's why we're all gettin' down on IRC. :)

The game is somewhat sluggish, but the page loads... eventually.

Forums seem to be working fine... right now, anyway. Oh well.

Which one though? :?

There are so many!

Not sure yet what caused the crash -- whole server went down though. I'm awaiting an e-mail from our server host saying that $#!@ UPS died again. :roll:

You guys absolutely hammered the server as soon as it came up, too!

No, but it's plausible... :P

Absolutely. We were all having personal crises :lol:

You think it was everyone, or just those of us that were hanging around this thread jumping at every new development? :wink:

You know what you have to do now....Complain! Loudly and angrily!

No way, I'm actually relieved now. I moved into Alcatraz to post a brief message right before the crash and am very appreciative the problem was solved so soon. "Stranded in Alcatraz...One Brave Girl's Story." Featured on the 6 o'clock news.

*Sigh of relief* I'm home now!

Thanks for the quick fix. Hope it all gets worked out soon.

this is why we should get rid of the general forums

less bandwith

this is why we should get rid of the general forums

less bandwithThe amount of nations suffering would be half. You are trying to kill us all, aren't you? :evil:

I signed up to get 2 issues a day but I only get one issue a day, also I dealt with an issue for the second time in the life of my nation is that supposed to happen?

Repeating issues are normal. However with the getting only one issue a day when it's set to receive two seems to be a recently widespread problem, one that I'm getting as well.
