Was I dreaming or was CB down for a good few hours (in General)


Sickone February 17 2009 8:15 AM EST

I tried to get in as early as 11 AM or so (that would be around 4 AM server time), and only now at 3 PM (8 AM server time) did I finally manage to get in.
The weird thing is, carnageblender.com did respond to PING request... the web pages simply didn't load.
Oh, and it's not the first time this happened, but this time it took far longer as I'm used to...

So was it just a fluke for me or is this a normal thing for everybody ?

Whoa, weird! We totally had the same dream!

I think it was a cache crash, but I could be wrong, so very, very wrong.

Brakke Bres [Ow man] February 17 2009 8:17 AM EST

Yeah, cache flush broke it again.

seems to still be having some issues, at least for me.

It was all a dream.

chaosal February 17 2009 8:20 AM EST

no CB? certainly a horrible, horrible nightmare.

Yep, I couldn't access it (CB) for quite a while.

QBJohnnywas February 17 2009 8:21 AM EST

One of the perks of being a QB, we have our own private access to the game. So if it's down for you we have our own luxury link.

Good improvement to the Shocking Grasp effects Jon. Love the use of purple.

There is no purple. :(

I feel cheated.

AdminJonathan February 17 2009 8:30 AM EST

Sorry, we had a years-old dormant infinite loop bug that someone finally triggered. Once he chewed up all the connections there was no more CB for anyone. It's fixed now.

Marlfox [Cult of the Valaraukar] February 17 2009 8:32 AM EST

Heh, thanks Jon. :)

Admindudemus [jabberwocky] February 17 2009 8:33 AM EST

i had an infinite loop bug once, luckily my bathtub was close to the potty!

AdminQBGentlemanLoser [{END}] February 17 2009 8:56 AM EST

LoL!

TheHatchetman February 17 2009 10:39 AM EST

I say if it wants to loop, roll it down the stairs...

If it wants to loop instantly, roll it down an escalator!

TheHatchetman February 17 2009 10:40 AM EST

err, infinitely*... just woke up

Brakke Bres [Ow man] February 18 2009 5:56 AM EST

CB was down again for about 2 hours right after cache flush again.

Can't get chat to work.
Timeout errors.

Brakke Bres [Ow man] February 18 2009 6:09 AM EST

And I'm the first to notice its backup again! yay me!

On a related note, to stop these timeouts from happening should the cache flush be during USA office hours? Faster support that way.

Steve G February 18 2009 6:17 AM EST

chat down for me atm too

That could work.
I'm kind of lucky at the moment in that Cache Flush is about 6PM or so, meaning I've always spent my BA and have no waste~
I noticed that a couple of other people went to CBStuff.nl forums to check to see if downtime was mentioned, yet noone posted it...

AdminNightStrike February 18 2009 7:38 AM EST

Restarted chat. It works now.

"On a related note, to stop these timeouts from happening should the cache flush be during USA office hours? Faster support that way. "

And less likely to interrupt my breakfast BA crunching!!!

So a big resounding yes please!!
