It's possible that data for the Chan/Pomf was lost due to our host. Unfortunately, I had made a ticket with the host after paying the invoice, stating that the servers weren't up. They took multiple days to reply, at which point I'd been inflicted with the flu (and didn't get on for about a week). I didn't reply with the invoice number in time and it's possible they failed to retain the data. Unlike the site, I don't retain backups for the Chan/Pomf. We may shut the services off, as they were always a secondary (and less used) feature of the site.

We lucked out and they kept the data due to the miscommunication. Should be online later today.

Looks like the chan board is still pining for the fjords

It's still down (or once again offline) at the time of this post.

Hopefully It's an easy fix.

Up for me. Other staff indicated it is too.

Not happening on my end.

Tried different browsers, servers, DNS and switched ISPs (no proxy) but still not functional. Perhaps an Intermittent Issue. I'll periodically check It during the course of the day.

Up for me too, how odd. Try it on multiple computers?

Initially I did.

I've gone to the extreme of disabling all network security (IDS/IPS etc, which I now need to reauthenticate) and all Is well. I'll need to define a few permissions/rules, It's a little too sensitive at the moment to the point of restricting access to chan.sinister.ly.

Thanks for your reply.

I made the decision and we've finally pulled the plug on the Pomf/Chan. While the Chan worked great initially, it suffered from a lack of activity and was only kept online because it shared a server with the Pomf. By removing the fixed costs of keeping the services up, we'll be able to invest more into the forum instead. Sorry if anyone lost files, as the decision was pushed when the host removed the server from our dashboard.
