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

Sinjin · #**303** Posted **Sep 18, 2006, 12:23 AM**

At least I can now focus on my modules

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

Rambaldi · #**305** Posted **Sep 18, 2006, 12:38 AM**

I predict that one day both these sites will go down at the same time and god help us all if that ever happens

Sinjin · #**306** Posted **Sep 18, 2006, 12:41 AM**

Then someone creates his own skyscraper site.

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?

Sinjin · #**308** Posted **Sep 18, 2006, 1:20 AM**

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...

Here's another:

^^ Omg!

Not only is SSC down, but my computer broke.

Convenient that they should happen at the same time though.

Sinjin · #**311** Posted **Sep 18, 2006, 6:56 AM**

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

Quote:

No worries mate, we're upgrading the database server at the moment. Bit of a ball breaker given the size of our database, the fact that it is weekend plus the 9 hour time zone difference for me and my host, but we'll get there some time. Should all be for the good.

Cheers,

- Jan

just a server upgrade taking longer than we thought
cheers

And, as a follow-up question, she asked if there's a definite date of which SSC will be back and here's the reply:

I wish I knew. Problems never come with a fixed date. Shouldn't be too long though, remember I like this site too!

Cheers,
- Jan

Thanks to GlamChiqAA (Rina) for updating us

"Funny" you should say that...

mine did too. It's completely dead.

jorgen · #**313** Posted **Sep 18, 2006, 10:05 AM**

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.

Stephan23 · #**314** Posted **Sep 18, 2006, 11:06 AM**

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.

Sinjin · #**315** Posted **Sep 18, 2006, 11:36 AM**

^ 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.
