We just had a blip, was that planned or not?

I don’t think it was planned. It was not announced. I didn’t experience it.

I did. I clicked GA in an archived thread then got kicked. I hope it wasn’t me

Um I don’t think fluther was down… at least it wasn’t for me. It’s possible that it is rather busy tonight or maybe it is a browser issue on your end.

@everephebe This site confirmed that it was down.

I was just about to say I used a site @XOIIO.

I got 2 downs and 1 up reported, as that site I used tried from different locations. Maybe @everephebe is correct that it is busy.

It was down for about ten minutes.

I defer to @johnpowell on such matters.
I however never noticed it.

I have no idea what happened but I will ask Augustian when she wakes up and gets on AIM.

I had trouble getting on for a few minutes, too. I was wondering if the spam attack is related.

If it helps at all, I find I had left the page open:

http://www.downornot.com/fluther
Auckland, NZ: Okay(0) ; 1796ms UP
Amsterdam2, NL: Timeout while connecting(1044) ; DOWN
Rio de Janeiro, BR: Timeout while connecting(1044) ; DOWN
If 2 or more stations find an error or do not get response within 4 seconds, we consider the site to be “down”

I’m guessing, since I just got here, that it was just a server issue. However, it’s also possible the guys took the site down for a few minutes to work on stopping those busy spammers. When I find out for sure, I’ll report back.

Spam killing tools- yesssss!

I think it’s because Auggie programmed up a dojo in the matrix and practiced her whip fu skills for a few moments.
She just doesn’t wanna admit it. XD

Maybe. :p
