NEW First! (Great KLOV outage of 2017)

Can we create a safespace for when klov goes down....I felt alone and not insulted ;)

thats what i was looking for! i thought there was a #klov on freenode irc, but the only
irc that exists that is even remotely close to this forum is #arcade on enterthegame irc.

and yes, i JUST found this thread, as i created a thread in the suggestion/admin area

I posted Asteroids Pictures to fellow collectors during the outage.
Posted good pictures and bad pictures of the Asteroids spray can restore.

Helped a few people on repairing their arcade machines while working on Plumbing issues.
 
What happened you asked? Something boring and stupid.

To make a long story short, a firewall upgrade didn't go to plan and it didn't appreciate the SSL/HTTPS traffic so it blocked it 100%. It didn't block it from 'trusted' IPs though so it wasn't noticed here.

And... we upgraded the forums only recently to require encryption, but didn't upgrade our monitoring system. That system continued to check the HTTP port (80) and saw that it was up (since it is...it just redirects to https).

Tombo texted me. Once I knew there was an issue, it was a quick fix...
 
anyone remember when the site used to go down at 3 am for site maintenance daily?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

at least that was the flashback I got. I was doing research in threads and then bloop. no more research that day. :(
