About the Downtime

Site was offline for a few hours earlier. The server had a PSU failure, the part has been replaced and the site is back online. Due to time differences it took a bit before we could get someone on the ground to replace it.

Edit: We're back up (again). We faced some DDoS attacks immediately following. We've gone ahead and taken measures to limit traffic.

Long Live Sinisterly!

It happens, unfortunately IPs get used for abuse and are banned. I might change the verbage of the message, just to provide clarification.

I weirdly never get that notification. I always connect with a VPN.

You aren't the only one haha. Get quite a few messages about that over time. The relief when they realise it's the VPN.

We were offline for around 7 hours.

It's good to see we're back to normality.


RE: About the Downtime - Green314 - 07-08-2022

I was a bit worried honestly. Glad the forum and everything is back to normal now.
