The problem is a SOFTWARE problem on Charlie's PC and not the hardware - it is suffering from a database connection error which means the website is down, not the whole server.
What makes you think that?
What does it matter, I'm trying to be helpful.

Whether you were right or wrong at least it was something to read while Apterous is down for the 25th time this month..

Down again.

Dare I ask if it's down again

Good news about new hardware Charlie, wd

Website working this morning but can't get onto the game window (i.e. after clicking Play). Attempt 18 of 500 is as far as I need to go to convince myself.

This is all a bit frustrating especially after yesterday's "go slow" too.

Scratch that, I'm in after the nth attempt and one reboot.

It's here. It's obviously not mentioned in relation to apterous, and I'm also not suggesting that he has done so, but I also wouldn't believe for a second that he wouldn't do it.

I'd love it if he was dumb enough to do that, what with it being a criminal offence carrying a sentence of up to 10 years. I've forgotten what Richard's problem is to be honest (apart from paranoid scizophrenia) but I'm sure a brief jail spell would help clear his mind.

Don't be silly; you don't need to be paranoid when you have fan circles across the web and aficionados.

And if you needed any more proof that RB is weird/on a different planet:

"There is talk that PayPal will be attacked tomorrow, and I suggested that maybe they should try to bring down the Interpol website."

Please don't post in this topic unless apterous is actually down.

Posted: **Tue Apr 17, 2012 12:13 pm**

I've got a blank screen at the moment navigating to the (new) apterous front page

Posted: **Tue Apr 17, 2012 12:15 pm**

Yeah, its down for me too. Shame, as I was in the mood for some Spoilage NA.

Posted: **Tue Apr 17, 2012 12:30 pm**

It's back. (Only the front page was broken, everything else is working.)

Posted: **Wed May 30, 2012 9:35 pm**

The apterous website isn't loading at all for me. Is it down?

Posted: **Wed May 30, 2012 9:42 pm**

Yeah. It blew out briefly for most people earlier, but now it's totally down.

THE END IS NIGH

Posted: **Wed May 30, 2012 9:43 pm**

Down for me, and looks like it's everyone: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/www.apterous.org

Posted: **Wed May 30, 2012 10:51 pm**

Ha, that's a useful site, and I've not seen it before now. Thanks

Posted: **Fri Jun 01, 2012 10:05 pm**

Presumably that site just tests if its down for them, so should be http://www.downfordownforeveryoneorjust ... justme.com etc.

Posted: **Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:11 pm**

What has happened tonight? It said the server is closing down, is it for general maintenance?

Posted: **Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:19 pm**

Please don't post in this topic unless apterous is actually down.

Posted: **Thu Jun 21, 2012 8:38 am**

downforeveryone says it's up but whenever I try to access it in any browser it says it's unable to connect.

Posted: **Thu Jun 21, 2012 9:03 am**

It's working fine for me. If downforeveryone says it's up but it doesn't work for you then there's a good chance that the problem is at your end.

Posted: **Thu Jun 21, 2012 1:55 pm**

Yeah, it works now. BT must just have had a brainfart or something as I could access it fine through a 3G connection, just not my home one.

Posted: **Wed Jul 04, 2012 6:25 pm**

Power cut at apterous towers and the battery backup has now been exhausted so we'll be back as soon as electricity allows.

That must explain why the recap writer has been shoddy tonight and last night.

At least my back-up is working.

Posted: **Wed Jul 04, 2012 6:56 pm**

Lightning strike?

Posted: **Wed Jul 04, 2012 7:21 pm**

Is there an approximate guess as to when it'll be back up? There was a tourney due at 8pm this evening - I can reschedule it for another day but will host it this evening if it's not too late.

Cheers

Posted: **Wed Jul 04, 2012 7:23 pm**

Could be any time.

Posted: **Thu Jul 05, 2012 12:01 pm**

Down again...

Posted: **Sat Jul 07, 2012 6:52 pm**

The website is up but the game isn't allowing connections. When I click the "PLAY" link on the main page it shows "Attempt N of 500", where N slowly counts up.

Looks like it stopped working at about 19:35.

Posted: **Tue Jul 17, 2012 1:45 am**

Can't get apterous to open most of the time, and when it does it won't open any game windows. I use the "down for everyone" site and it says this is only my problem, but I can't get it to load on any computers.

EDIT: I was able to get the Daily Duel to work, but no luck with games I want to start. Also, my chat is not working.
EDIT2: Other people can challenge me and play, and I can play Ascension, but I can't challenge bots to games.

Posted: **Tue Jul 17, 2012 11:12 am**

It isn't working for me either, This is the message I'm getting:

No data received
Unable to load the web page because the server sent no data.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this web page later.
Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.

Posted: **Tue Jul 17, 2012 11:15 am**

Hmm. I went on down for everyone or just me and it said it was just me and when I clicked the link to the site on that page it loaded but it still doesn't come up when I type apterous.org in to my address bar.

Posted: **Tue Jul 17, 2012 3:07 pm**

It now appears to be down for everybody.

EDIT: It now appears to be back.

Posted: **Sun Jul 22, 2012 9:58 am**

http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/www.apterous.org

Is down, possibly since late last night if I remember right.

Posted: **Wed Jul 25, 2012 6:07 pm**

Down again, can someone kick the server?

Posted: **Wed Jul 25, 2012 6:15 pm**

Down for me too

Well, down for you and the website that claims to be checking for everyone anyway.

Posted: **Wed Aug 15, 2012 11:55 pm**

Down for me I'm afraid

Posted: **Thu Aug 16, 2012 9:35 am**

It's still down. Beginning to get withdrawal symptoms.

Considering that the Apterous-namechecking CoBliviLon article is one of the most viewed/shared on the Independent website at the moment, this is probably quite a bad time for it to be down.

Apterous is probably down because of all the extra traffic.

Posted: **Tue Aug 28, 2012 4:42 pm**

Gone down. Not in a good way.

Posted: **Tue Aug 28, 2012 4:54 pm**

Yep, down for me too, I can get to the start screen but can't get onto the game

Posted: **Tue Aug 28, 2012 5:35 pm**

Same here. It won't log in to the game screen.
