Site down

Hi folks,

Apologies for the inaccessibility of the site over the last couple of days. Our beloved server suffered a fan failure - so it shut itself down to protect itself from overheating. Think of it like the A2's limp-home mode!

Anyway - replacement fan now installed and all should be well again.

We've also had a very kind offer of some updated hardware to run the site from Jeff (Mustang-owner). I'll try and get this in place over the next couple of weeks.

Nice one Ben. The site went down just as my A2OC addiction was asserting itself again.:eek: Thanks for all ther hard work and great to see the forum up and running again.
 
Thanks for getting the site back up! I did wonder if it was related to the increase in spam.
 
Spammers have been on the increase here recently (although e-mail span is down on last year). Fortunately the burden is on the site moderators who have to plough through these dodgy registrations.

We might be able to update the registration procedure to minimise the bad accounts - but it's an ongoing battle.

Glad that the site is back again :)

Is it a suggestion for the moderators to make an A2OC group page on Facebook? So when the site is down, there is the possibility to post a message about what's going on.

Now I was really curious a few days what hat happened to the site?
 
Many thanks Ben for all your hard work, and update!

Also a thanks to Jeff for the updated hardware offer!
 
I think the FB page is a great idea, thanks for working so hard to get the server back up, i know how much of a pain they can be and diagnosing the fault usually takes the longest.

Thanks
Chris
