Title: THR.US has been down for a long time...
Post by: zxcvbob on November 14, 2008, 02:42:56 PM
Does anyone know what's going on?  (I think Oleg pissed-off some folks at .org yesterday when he broadcast another invitation email, I wonder if someone hacked .us and trashed the place)

funny   olegs behavior has been quite above board  some of the members less so.  including one genius yesterday who advocated an attack against .org.   i hope it didn't bite the us board

I have noticed that often when .us is down that Calguns is also down, and sometimes APS as well. the last two weeks all three have been down for a minute or two simultaneously dozens of times that I have noticed. I have mentioned this in PMs to other people and they have noticed the same thing.

My suspicion is that the web guy Oleg hired bit off more than he can currently chew.

+1.  I noticed this as well.

.US is drawing about 1/4 of the traffic of .ORG last I checked, but I also noticed that when .US is down, so is CalGuns and often APS.

I also theorized that the ISP was unable to keep up with the additional demand.

Are you seeing timeouts?  An actual error page?

Seems to be back up now.  (was getting a "database error" page this morning, then timeouts this afternoon.)
