Re: No, the forum server did not go down.

Remind me to merit this post when Cloudflare allows merits.

EDIT: And replying to threads, apparently. What even happened here?

Looks like something exploded in cloudflare's data centers. Even browsing the site sporadically makes 503s at random intervals.

I meant what happened with my reply becoming a new topic. Hopefully this one works or this conversation is going to be rather difficult to follow.

EDIT: Okay, the forum seems to be working normally. For now.

Yes, i think it did go down for some minutes or so this morning, i could have taken some shots to post as a prove but it didnt occur to me to do so, probably because i wasnt expecting this post/thread here, i didnt know i will be writing this comment too  .

When i tried accessing the forum this morning, i was unable, i got the error like the quote below--

Browser - working

Cloudflare - working

Bitcointalk Host - Error

But the confusing thing is that when i tried accessing the forum from my phone, it went through fine , but it wasnt going through from my laptop, i had to keep trying until finally, it started working.

I tried accessing the forum using my phone but it didn't went through and will only show "500 Internal Server Error", "nginx" most of the time. Sometimes it is "Error 520. Web server is returning an unknown error., You - Browser working✅, Singapore - Cloudflare Working✅, Bitcointalk.org - Host Error ❌". I thought that I am the only one who is going through what happen earlier and I was thinking maybe it's my browser or the internet connection but after playing a video on YouTube made me think that other people did also go through the same thing as me.

I ran into the same problem a while ago, but luckily it wasn't too long before everything was back to working fine. Seems like this kind of problem has happened quite often on the forum even though the problem was solved in such a short time, but wait is this some kind of premeditated attack?

Laptop and android didn't seem to make any difference to me, both didn't work for a while before the problem was fixed.

Confused whether you are joking or that's what really happened. Though your OP says you are not joking.

It looked like a quarter of the internet was gone this morning. As theymos said:

The Internet is seriously flawed if everyone needs to huddle behind these huge centralized anti-DDoS companies in order to survive...

It seems that they did have a critical incident, but it didn't last long - and where did you get the information that it was an explosion?

It was a joke.
