Topic: Site Outage - April 2018

Firstly apologies for the disappearance. Unfortunately our host suspended our account without notice for using too many resources. They won’t actually tell me what these are though which is making it difficult to sort out.

I have upgraded the hosting to the next package to buy some time to try and identify the issues. Unfortunately it may become unsustainable but I will discuss that again before I do anything drastic!

Because they suspended the account I had no way of posting an update or message which was thoroughly annoying. Anyway the site is back and connectivity should get better again. Please post if you experience any more issues. In the meantime I will try and track down our problem script.

Re: Site Outage - April 2018

Many thanks for the update Simon.

I think it shows how much we really value and appreciate this site, even to lose it for a few days is tough to take and I for one need my daily fix!! ajb007/biggrin

Not sure about anyone else, but I looked elsewhere on social media for announcements or updates regarding the site being down but saw the ajb007 Twitter and Facebook accounts are both inactive? Would it be worth using these platforms to provide updates in the event of the site being down in the future?

Keep up the good work Simon. This site is a very special one!! ajb007/martini

I sought to reddit to get my fix, noticed a thread open about AJB007 being down.

Re: Site Outage - April 2018

Well done SiCo good effort - guessed it would be something like that.

Hope the upgrade works and if you need a contribution to the running cost I am sure crowd funding from AJB members would be a possibility - I found I actually missed it during its downtime - go figure!
