def Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 It's Siegfried's anniversary. He shuts the site down once a year, so he can get some peace and quiet with his loved ones. It's only fair that we go without the site for a few hours a year, isn't it? Quote
KotZ Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Yeah, same for me. But if that's true, I can understand, for Siegfried. And Happy Anniversary! But I went crazy not being able to log on all day. Quote

iamded Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Hahaha, here I was resetting my modem, rebooting my PC, checking my internet settings, like a mad-man... Silly me. Quote

It's only fair that we go without the site for a few hours a year, isn't it? So that makes Siegfried 'The Almighty God of EB'? The fate of the site is literally on his hands as he could switch it off/on anytime he wants. We are not worthy... Seriously, that's a perfectly understandable reason. Now move along guys, hysteria is over, we can now go back to regular programming. Quote
CMP Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Now move along guys, hysteria is over, we can now go back to regular programming. I can't. I'm still in withdrawl. Quote

If I had the power of the almighty rout admin, everybody would be "banned" on april fools...and so so so much more... Quote
Scouty Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I had a nice cup of tea while the site was down. It was quite nice. What's the fuss? Quote
MinifigFreak2010 Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Went down for me to. Not sure exactly how long though. It was working fine earlier this after noon but when I went to hop back on at 7:30ish, it wasn't loading. Quote
RileyC Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 What's the fuss? I'd say. Just sit back, relax, and click refresh repeatedly until your fingers bleed. Ah the EB community. Quote
AllanSmith Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I was lost without EB. So what could I do .... I got out the LEGO and built a Green Army Men tank Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted February 16, 2011 Eurobricks Emperor Posted February 16, 2011 It all happened while I was sleeping, but it seems we had some downtime. I'll do an analysis of our server logfiles and try to find the reason of our downtime. If this happens again we'll contact our server provider for an in depth analysis. Let's hope it was a one time issue on our server or the internal network of our provider. Quote
Big Cam Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Yes. Love it, no explanation, just answers the question. Mr. To the point. Quote

It's only fair that we go without the site for a few hours a year, isn't it? Actually the truth is I was at work and was unable to help; it died just before I had to leave! Since it seemed to restart by itself it probably it was an issue with our host. Bonaparte for the most part handles issues like that; go get 'em! Quote

simonjedi Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I think the admins decided to give the hamster(s) a well deserved break. Quote
Siegfried Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Time to write a letter. Bonaparte has some mean letter writing skillz. Don't get him angry... :sing: Quote
def Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Actually the truth is I was at work and was unable to help; I sincerely apologize to anybody who thought I had any idea what goes on with this site Quote
KotZ Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Gah, def! Now I feel like an idiot! OH, well, we all make mistakes. But, the site's back, and we're all happy again! Quote

CommanderFox Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I had a nice cup of tea while the site was down. It was quite nice. What's the fuss? Raises his cup of tea to the master scouter! Yeah it was alittle inconvenient but hey, EB's back, and thats all that really matters. CF Quote
Dragonator Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Woohoo, EB is back! Now that the question has been answered, let's close this. Quote
