horani Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Cannot load their webpage for couple of hours already. Anyone else? Quote
Yidahoo Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) I am not getting .org or Avsim either. Edited March 14, 2013 by Yidahoo Quote
Ntr09 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 I can ping x-plane.org but a browser won't load the page. Must be doing maintenance. -NR Quote
Kieran Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 That went from 4 sensible posts regarding the .org and that it may be down, to 1 stupid post that was completely unnecessary. 3 Quote
Cameron Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 I am not getting .org or Avsim either. Avsim is there, just REALLY slow. I hope it stays down. I hope for the sake of the entire community it comes back, and I'm sure it will. 1 Quote

xplaneorgisdumb Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 That went from 4 sensible posts regarding the .org and that it may be down, to 1 stupid post that was completely unnecessary.Right. Yours. Quote
eaglewing7 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Right. Yours.Complete and total idiocy. Are you always this big of a troll on internet forums? Do you seriously think that your behaviour here, is possibly a reflection on what your behaviour was previously like on the .org before you were banned? 1 Quote
xplaneorgisdumb Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Because I am the only one from 1000 people watching that posts a joke? Come on. As my nickname states I hate the org, sure. I also will hope that they stay down forever, or at least have a change in the staff before reopening. Quote

Andyrooc Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 It's been down since about 1:00PM GMT (about 10 hours now) Quote
Colin S Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 I really hope it comes up - as much as so many hate it (I among them), some of the people and almost all the things available from it are simply wonderful and if they've had a crash pray they can get their stuff back. Quote
Stent Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Google Reader dumped. Feedly booms! Org hacked. x-pilot membership soars! Quote
rcmarple Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 I'm sure we all agree that we hope it isn't a hack - password changes at the ready...:-( Quote
Stent Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 At least one developer is saying it was a hack. Maybe attempted hack is a better way to put it. What a disaster if all those files are gone. Quote

Andyrooc Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 I doubt it. I was using it when it went down, and it looked very much like a web server failure of some kind. Hopefully not a raid controller failure - every second person I talk to is getting them at the moment. Quote
maple-syrup Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 I hope this isn't out of line... But here at X-Pilot, I kind of think of this place as a "I was kicked from the .Org and here is a reasonable place that's X-Plane related" which is why I'm wondering why you guys care so much. This isn't meant to be a criticizing post, but I'm just curious. Quote
Cameron Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Hopefully not a raid controller failure - every second person I talk to is getting them at the moment. That's more along the lines of what I was thinking, and is precisely what we just went through here. Hopefully they have similar backup measures in place like we do. It gets tough when servers contains such large amounts of content. Quote

This isn't meant to be a criticizing post, but I'm just curious. Not sure I see the sense in this post? There's no rule that states you have to choose this site or the other, and most people here visit the org as well. Of course, there's a vocal group who have also been kicked from the there (naturally you won't see their posts at the org), but having multiple places to discuss our hobby is a good thing for everyone in the community. There's a distinguished line between disliking the site and disliking management. Complaints come from the management, not the existence of the site or the wonderful people in the X-Plane community, which is why we care. The org serves a great purpose, regardless of disagreements. 2 Quote
Andyrooc Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) It's back online Unexpectedly long maintenance outage apparently. Edited March 15, 2013 by Andyrooc Quote
