Site Server Issues - 22nd Jan

[NuttsnBolts]

Over the last couple of days several users have reported that they are experiencing some server issues and loading lag time. The members of staff are aware of this situation, have contacted Mahz, and are awaiting for any further information on the issue.

In the meantime we do ask that you remain patient and always ensure that you have a backup copy of your work—either through a source like notepad, Word, or Google Docs. Be aware that double posting may occur and this will be caused by refreshing a page while it is submitting your written replies. The staff can attend to these errors if they occur, but we are experiencing the same issues so it may not be as swiftly and quickly as one would hope for.

Finally for any newcomers, please be aware that any Nukes may not be intentional as our system is set up for detecting posting speed and post content. By refreshing the page this can have the potential to accidentally lead to a ban. We do receive report info on accounts that are Nuked and will try our best to aid in resolving the inconvenience.

Hope you are back to full speed sooner rather than later!

_{...are we safe now}

B-but sensei, this site is my laifu...

No change. We even bugged Mahz on Facebook.

The moment staff hears something, we'll update everyone. If you're not at least on the official Discord, click it. Discord is everything from a desktop app to a mobile app to a browser interface that doesn't require any extra downloading. Folks have mentioned Reddit (news to me), Facebook Guild groups. I'm sure I missed one. Whatever way you can, try to have some way of checking guild status.

Went around some private Discord servers today talking to people, and one thing to note: this isn't Guildfall. Guildfall was related to advertising, and odds are this is a server issue. BUT if you don't, or haven't yet, backed up any RPs/posts you hold dearest of all...I would do that. Or try.

Thanks!

The lag seems to have ended. I'm getting normal loading times between pages.

[Jurassic Weeb]

@Mattchstick Mine is slower than usual but it's not crashing, and not showing a cached version of the site.

@Otaku95
I just had a 502 error. The whole "Retry a live version" thingie. So it's, sadly, still not resolved.

[TrippyNightmare]

Guild rise?

[Woundwort]

I’m back to normal here.

Seems my sacrifices to the Lords of the Far Ether paid off.

[mickilennial]

Some inconsistencies are normal considering the circumstances.

[ArenaSnow]

This has cost me many of my collected souls. >.<

[Obscene Symphony]

Mine seems to be back to normal, if a little slow accessing PMs.

[Letter Bee]

I can access it almost just fine; just a bit slow.

[Selas Dia]

So... It's over? That's a relief.

[Commander]

But I wanted to blame my ISP. Next time... *shifty eyes*

[mickilennial]

I wouldn't count us out of grade school yet.

I wouldn't count us out of grade school yet.

@Inkarnate

I wonder if they'll give us a full disclosure of what's up

Happens every so often when the guild runs without a reboot. There's only guesses short of Mahz himself, the one with access to the actual backend - mine is that something caught in the server's memory that the guild files handled poorly, and chunked its displeasure back as a few day's worth of issues.
