In a word: unlikely. The user database would have to be restored to a prior state before your record was corrupted, which would erase everything done from that point to now.

That's not true. We could restore a specific set of records and not the entire database. -t |

No...please...not again. Looks like the nightmare has returned. 
Thought this should no longer be the problem after the 3-day update. |

From what I remember Tempest saying, the last update was an attempt at a fix, but not a guaranteed fix, and if it kept up they'd have to resort to a hardware update. Emerje |

Ok, I didn't want to make this up again, but...
The "Sorry, it seems te server is a bit overloaded at the moment..." message has appeared again. Oh, no, not just once. It has been for the last days, and today just kept going. Also, today, from...er...late morning (11:00 am) to just an hour ago (10:00 pm), all GMT-1, the site seems that has been down. Yeah, I mean, whenever I tried to link, nothing appeared. Like it didn't exist. Anyone has some clue about it?

That happened to me too. All morning until about 2 pm (US Central time) whenever I typed the URL, a mesage popped up on my browser saying "server not found." |

Same here. It started around 6:30 AM EST at my home, and I wasn't able to get back on until around 4 PM EST. I got so worried that I actually sent an e-mail to find out what was going on. After the major crash that ANN had last July, I do tend to worry should another server crash happen; that's how much passion I have about this site. Looks like everything's back to normal.

A number of anime related sites have been attacked and kicked offline by DDoS (distributed denial of service attacks) of late. Without hearing any news, that's what I think may have happened here. I do know that, although the website was not accessible, the physical server was still online, as I could ping it all morning.

See, that's what you have to keep in mind... the reason it was down so long was because it was their "ultimate" April Fools Joke - the demise of ANN.

Actually, I think it was a power outage that hosed the server on 4/1. Everything looked like it crashed and died around 6:30am, and only half of the services came back up. I just kinda forgot the admin passwords, so I couldn't bring it back up until the afternoon. ^^; I'm inclined to think it was a Cologuys issue (our host) because it looked like Megatokyo was having problems at around the same time we were. |

In addition to the old "Sorry, it seems the server is a little overloaded at the moment..." messege, I encounter several 404 several times, all after 1850 TST (0650 EDT). I was forced to use skuld. However, this seems only affects MSIE, while Firefox was not affected.

"Sorry, it seems the server is a little overloaded at the moment..." seems to be popping up intermittantly still. I get it on a seemingly random basis.

I know this thread is old but I am geting a "the connection was refused when attemting to contact animenewsnetwork.com". This is the second time this has happened. The first time I was denied access for 12-15 hr's the second time it lasted for 36 hr's. Is this a problem on my end?

Well, the server definitely wasn't down, but that doesn't mean the problem waws on your end. Next time it happens (if it happens again), could you run a tracert to www.animenewsnetwork.com and e-mail it to us at [out of date email address]? Also, if you're browsing to animenewsnetwork.com, try the proper full hostname, www.animenewsnetwork.com and the alt host name skuld.animenewsnetwork.com -t Last edited by Tempest on Mon Feb 19, 2024 2:32 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I'd been having the same trouble, and was rather boggled to see that a tracert showed the connection breaking down as it attempted to pass a presumably reliable Deutsche Telekom server. Then a light dawned, and I surmised that what I was seeing was probably the result of the current tiff between L3 and Cogent (see this article for more info).
I've since been working around this by using a proxy server that accesses a different grid. This is a temporary measure, until the dispute resolves itself. The future may hold more such events, however. (EDIT: The problem persists in occurring... even when I can get a viable tracert past an L3-Cogent gateway point, it sometimes breaks down further along. I'll look into it some more.) - abunai |
