Sorry everyone for the extended downtime, apparently the notification from the datacenter was flagged as spam so we didn't know they would be moving the server to another location. All is well, there wasn't anything bad happening, we were just caught off guard. On that note, we are scheduling maintenance for later this month, and we'll make another mention of it before we take the site down. Maintenance will probably be a full day, however, so you'll have to cope without AP for a day.
Downtime!

Good to know. Thanks for keeping us informed, Brennen.
-
My day felt so empty without this place D:
-
Well, at least next time we'll know when it's coming. But thanks all the same!
-
wondering why can't open AP, so thats why
thanks for the info -
My day felt so empty without this place D:
Pretty much this.
And if I missed out on a chance to riff The Curse of the Faceless Man because of you lot (staff), there's going to be words, containing a variety of different punctuations !
-
So that's what happen, i missed this place.
-
First Oda takes a break..now AP.
Madness all around us. -
Keep up the good work.
-
Hey Brennen how's this going is it completed or still on scheduel?
-
Still planned, but it's based on Jonas and I both being available. It's looking like it's now at least two weeks off, since we have some prep work to do, but could be sooner. I'll give a few days' notice if I can.
-
And no, that wasn't the planned downtime.
:swanson:
-
The planned downtime is tentatively set for tonight, sorry for the late notice. We're still not sure we'll tackle everything tonight, but consider this a heads up just in case.

BUMP. Sorry everyone, looks like disk space filled up last night on the server and then the server was hung. I had to do some cleanup this morning, and am continuing to cleanup. I will probably take the server down in about 10 minutes to adjust the server specs. Money, money, money.
EDIT: Ok, maintenance is done. Slightly better hardware now but I still need to clean up some disk space.
EDIT: Ok, cleanup is done, for now. Search is working. Server seems snappy… maybe because load is low. -
Thank you for your work, brennen.exe!
-
Yayy..

Hey is it just me or is the site not working right now?
My usual hyperlinks are not working for the site.
I had to go in through the facebook group to get in.
Again my favorite tab isn't working, neither is google search. I click on google and immediately it's can't find the site.
The links on google say forums.arlongpark.net. and are not working.
apforums.net are working though.
-
i can only get on through www.arlongpark.net, which I've never used before. forums.arlongpark.net/forum.php is in my muscle memory haha.
-
It's the same for me as Wolfwood. Apforums.net works but arlongpark.net doesn't.
-
Yep. I was able to get on through arlongpark . net earlier, but now only apforums . net works. It feels like the forum is having a Puff Daddy -> Puffy -> P Diddy-esque name crisis.
-
Okay at least I'm not going crazy yet.
Seems like that DNS issue that happened awhile back is happening again…at least that's my best guess.
-
For some reason, when I'm at home on my home internet, it thinks the site doesn't exist, but on my phone on 4G or at work it recognizes the site fine…. odd....

Yeah if you use apforums.net it should work.
I haven't seen anything from the higher ups as to what is going on.
-
Yeah it's an expired DNS record, just trying to get ahold of the record owner so we can renew it.
-
All fixed. Sorry about that everyone.
-
I, for one, I'm glad we all didn't die.
-
Incidentally I've had internet problems the entire week and thus blamed everything on poor Telekom xD
Good we're back and thanks for the info! -
Hey all, sorry for the downtime the past few days. I've been a little slammed with year-end projects at work so I didn't notice the site was down until Sunday, and didn't have time until this evening to troubleshoot the server. Everything should be good now– looks like the root cause was maintenance on the providers end, so hopefully I can get some of the bill refunded.
Anyway, enjoy.
-
We're still here thank god!
-
well im glad to see that the site wasn't down for good. i kept a tab open just in case it did came back.
-
Glad it's finally back up.
-
Great, now to wait out the spoilers
-
Time to donate. Where do I give a guy five bucks
EDIT: uh, there’s a donate button at the top of every page. Doh!
-
Thank you Brennen!
-
I was worried that something really bad had happened. It was torture not being able to access AP.
-
Glad its back.
Can someone explain what happened?
-
Ah, looks like the search listener is down. I'll fix that tomorrow (I'm in California so it's still yesterday for me).
-
I was worried APForums was running out of money. Hopefully things are staying afloat…don't know how I would feel if AP went away...been's part of me for too long now. Let us know if things ever get dire financially, I'm sure some of us old timers could help out if needed
