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

Haha, funny that he does that though. 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

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

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

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

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
