CPF down for me too
Oh mine , my world is falling apart...
They said on Facebook that they are moving to a new server.
CPF has been unreachable from first thing thursday morning.
Seems they came across some stone tablets (and maybe some skeletons).
Yikes!!! That’s a lot of emails!
Still, I hope their new server (when they get it up and running) works better than their old one. CPF always seemed to have a lot of downtime. I like the site and miss it, but hopefully it will have less downtime.
cpf was very slow for me in the past, threads not loading, posting almost impossible. I am looking forward to the new server as well.
They are moving to new servers, it will take time and will encounter issues, as will all forum migrations.
Be patient.
I can't remember a year without some problems at CPF....
They should find someone that can really take care of it.... for good.
The incredible Dr. Pol can.
You're too funny ;)
me too.
Good, stay dead
Their approach to migration shows why their site always has issues and they have lost so many posts over the years. Most site would have at least a host servicing the domain giving a clear message about what is happening… CPF no… for a while certain URLs would give a little useless message directing you to facebook. The main page however would not. Stranger still is most of the phony site up/down checkers were reporting them as up and running long after they were down.
Most sites would be able to migrate without impacting service, and those that could not for extenuating circumstances would at least operate in read-only mode.
Most sites would have had a huge banner for weeks prior to the shutdown.
What does mail have to do with migrating their Forum software , nothing…. but for CPF it’s all connected.
Why has their servers been running like turtles for over 2-3 years (maybe longer) and they are just migrating now. Did someone get tired of rebooting it ever 4hrs?
It’s a shame such a resource is not properly managed. One day it is likely all the information on there will likely be lost. It’s possible this migration like many changes in the past will lose a lot of stuff.
It’s sad to think about what could be and what is…. but…. ok in the big picture it makes no difference the universe has bigger issues many of which are right in our own galaxy.
Seek the light!
I’m excited for the new server. The load times were unbearable. Good Move G
It’s the ghost (in the machine) of Denis Lan, whose headstone Phaserburn found while exploring the land around his old pumphouse.
Best CPF thread ever.
+1
"G" is coming from Greta ? If so : " Lasciate ogni speranza , vuoi ch'entrati ..."
Well it’s Easter… :nerd_face:
I don’t come over here to post often. The last time I was here was to read up on the Emisar’s in a couple of really good threads. Say what you want, but I’ve not seen the nastiness in these two threads directed towards other enthusiasts in my almost 10 years on CPF. Don’t worry, I’ll stay “over there”…
