Thanks. To be honest, I was also suprised at the result :).

every time SSC goes offline i tend to spend my money on worthless things :no:

At least I can now focus on my modules :D

This happens way too often. Luckily, when one site is down the other is usually up.

I predict that one day both these sites will go down at the same time and god help us all if that ever happens :no:

:previous: Then someone creates his own skyscraper site. :haha:

Found this thing in Wikipedia...

Uptime - Downtime (for a year)

* 100% - 0 hours 0 minutes
* 99.9% - 8 hours 46 minutes
* 99.5% - 43 hours 50 minutes
* 99.0% - 87 hours 39 minutes
* 98.0% - 175 hours 19 minutes

So what do you think SSC's uptime is?

Progress: So SSC isn't under maintenance anymore? Just a while ago, I tried to access SSC and I was able to but it took me 15 minutes to load the whole main page...

^^ Omg!

Not only is SSC down, but my computer broke. :(

Convenient that they should happen at the same time though.

Okay, my friend (GlamChiqAA of SSC) sent an email to both Jan and gothicform asking the status of SSC and here are their replies:


Thanks to GlamChiqAA (Rina) for updating us ;)

"Funny" you should say that... :( mine did too. It's completely dead.

As long as I don't pay to use SSC I don't mind it being down for periods.

Maybe they should introduce payment. I wouldn't mind paying let's say 5 Pounds/month e.g. to be able to make posts.

Don't think so. If they need a new server. They should say, how much it cost and every 'real' user should pay 5 Euros or so. That's enough money I think.

Hope it's back soon.

^ But how about the students/non-earners who are major contributors too?

Rubbish Idea. You would lose at least 40% of all contributors. It would be a massive, MASSIVE mistake.

^ I'd still suggest voluntary donations ;)

Citrus-Fruit: exactly the point :)

Anyway, just an idea, so stop complaining :P

im getting restless now... someone help!

Same here. We're having withdrawal symptoms :haha: As someone stated in the other thread, SSC is like an addictive drug... :D But based on the replies of Jan and gothicform to my friend above, I think this will take longer so I have oriented myself to do other things ;)
