Data Sphere

Official forums have been having serious issues for me for the last couple days, what gives?

No one can remain logged on long enough to learn this.

Hahaha, I suspect it's the Hunzakut, Mobile Brigada, and Nisse previews.

Though, the forums, as a whole, have been super wonky for me for the past week.

Same here. I guess some problems with the server? Though Army5 works all right.

I was wondering this myself - keep getting a "500 Error."

The rest of the site seems fine, however.

It's not preview's fault. The issue started more than one day before the Hunzakut was even shown on facebook.

It's probably a bug in the software running the forum.

For the past few days (at least 4) the forums have been pretty slow for me, beyond my typical rural Canada internet speeds. Given that there's a thread about the number of people getting 500 errors, I'm suspicious of a bug outreach glitch causing poor connectivity (or whatever 500 errors are).

The forums are on a different server.

500 Error is where you fail your discover roll: Camouflaged Unit Not Found.

There's another forum?

Ohh you mean those nice un-moderated troll infested official forum too bad if this problem persists the trolls might starve to death for lack of people's disgust and misspent anger to feed on.

Accessing the forum using Tapatalk hasn't worked for me in at least a month, but I haven't worried too much given how unstable the damned thing seems most days.

Seems to have been stabilized now, we'll see if that continues.

So now the official forums are up (and apparently stable, at least so far) but Army5 has dropped dead instead - I get 502/Bad Gateway errors at every connection attempt.

Sigh. Whoever runs CB's web presence, they're not doing the greatest job recently...

Well... not something we haven't seen before, I'd say...

Their website is hosted off site, with Dinahosting. If the servers are down because of a hardware failure, it's up to Dinahosting to fix it. And depending on their service level, even software failures could be Dinahosting's responsibility. And considering the size of CB, i'd say that's most likely.

Not only Dinahosting, they are also going with the Cloud™ for some resources. And they have been doing it in non transparent way (that's how you can see they do it) and changed a couple of times. Looks like poor planning.

Aye. I daresay the days of "goes down more often than a cheap hooker" are still with us.

Yeah, but at least most of those were self-inflicted DDOS attacks because of news.

This one wasn't.

(Been out or busy last days... so) no news while it took place?

Anyone else having trouble opening Army? I heard a rumor the Azrail profile was being updated.

I had problems with Army a few hours ago, now it ran with no issues.

As for Azra'il, yes, it got an AP HMG (so far in the QK variant only, but I guess it is soon to be corrected) instead of regular HMG. Costs 41pts now, exactly as much as the Feuerbach.

Suppose everyone has gone back to the official forums now then

No, I just hit the official forums before I come here on my daily round.

And I'm predominately here, just throwing a glance at the official one.

They leak new stuff on twitter and myfacespace nowadays before the forums - which does reduce the ctrl+F5 traffic request a little.

I only go there is someone links me directly to a thread and not at all if that link starts with a comment like.

"You won't believe what person A said and now troll X,Y and Z is saying this"

Honestly the place is frustrating as hell. If you want rule clarifications better to just ask IJW through one of the many facebook groups assuming the Wiki isn't helpful first.

I aslo "hang" here mainly. I just don't post so often...

And international part is dead again. Probably due to announcement that Human Sphere revision is postponed to next year.

I'd wager it's more from the unveiling of the Guija redesign.

So, Guges killed the forums?
