Fanhost not available?

aloha · 08-12-2008, 07:19 PM

well I don´t know why or what happened, but like half an hour ago fanhost collapsed kinda. I can´t enter it with my firefox or with the internet explorer. only with a different server I can enter it, which is weird. I asked a few friends if they can open it, but they also say it´s not opening for them. I always get the message that it takes too long to load. I wouldn´t ask if it would be only me having the problem, cause then it would possibly be just a temporary problem, like sometimes. but the fact that a few friends also can´t enter it lets me wonder. anyone has/had the same problem? Thank you!

Down servers are a perfect opportunity to:

go outside gardening
jog: get some exercise
go to the gym
take up yoga
read a book
learn a new recipe
call a loved one you haven't spoke to in a long while
clean up the apartment
do some laundry
get an oil change
take your car in for a tune-up
go to a museum
relax in a cafe with an iced coffee or a hot mocha
take up painting
volunteer in your community
ride a bicycle
re-organize your CD collection
take dancing lessons (I recommend "Salsa" )
go to the library
write a letter to someone with an actual pen and paper
buy new pair of shoes
go bowling with friends
meet some friends at a pub [for lunch]
learn a new instrument
to go the cinema
take a siesta
grocery shopping
plan a road trip
learn a new language (Spanish if you ever plan to go to Spain or Mexico,
Italian for Italy, etc.)
scrapbooking
travel around sides of your town you've never been
discover a new restaurant you've never been to
make jewelry
take up photography (black & whites are the best IMO)
bake a cake or cookies
visit a zoo
knit a scarf
listen to some music while knitting a scarf
go to a flea market or yard sale
see your dentist (more people should do that )
Discuss the Oedipal conflict between Gilligan and Mr. Howell. Feel free to write four volumes on the subject.
Square the circle, solve the pre-Socratics’ paradoxes in two steps, and climb the Matterhorn. It will help if you learned to yodel while teaching that dark art to your dog.

In other words, step away from the screen if the site's down. You're probably spending too much time in front of it (your post count in such a short time makes that obvious). If the server's down, the server administrators see this on their logs, and they get right on it to fix it. So don't worry. Because there's always something much more important to concern yourself about than a discussion board not being accessible, it'll be back online after you do something else.

And if you're able to post now, there's no more problem, so everything's back to normal, everyone's shiny happy people holding hands.

PS: I always suspected that The Professor and Gilligan were romantically involved. It's just the way that Gilligan would look into his eyes.

It's working fine to me using firefox and explorer.
Of course, Fanhost was very slow these days, but today is fine.

It happens occasionally for a variety for reasons.
