Title: Why did the site go down just a few days ago?
Post by: ben321 on April 29, 2025, 07:11:40 AM

Just a few days ago the site was down, and it was down for like 2 days. I see it's back up now, but no announcement on what happened.

I think it was down for over a week. That's not unusual, as the server isn't regularly monitored, amd the site admin isn't around much. It is run by volunteers after all (even if the site admin works (or worked) for Intel :)

Assuming the server admin is paying their ISP for a static IP address then you shouldn't have this kind of issue. This kind of issue happens issue when the IP address associated with the domain name becomes obsolete due to the IP address being dynamic (ISP periodically changes your IP address).

That's just speculation, most of us have no idea whether it was a network issue or a software issue. Or something else. No point pointing fingers until someone in the know responds.
