Title: auschristmaslighting forum - down? gone?
Post by: nmiller0113 on August 19, 2015, 11:32:05 AM

I've been trying to get to that forum for a few days now and it's completely unavailable.  DNS doesn't resolve except for the short time yesterday and when it did I got to the website and it said something about a Database being down and really showed nothing else.  Very strange.  I've tested from multiple locations.

I assumed someone would be talking about it but a google search for the last few days shows nothing.  Did I miss a message?  Did they shut down?  I've been trying to reach some posts there with assistance on getting RDS working with FPP on an EDM (Wow, lots of TLA's there).

I'm very curious if anyone knows anything.  Would be a bummer if it was gone completely which I'd find very hard to understand!

Yes , it has been down for a few days.

As per AussiePhil , there was an issue with the servers hosting it ands others , than when that was rectified , there was a disk failure and do it is being restored from backups which takes time
