Huge site outage!

[NotATether]

I can't be the only one who saw this new outage today that was ~3 hours long. I checked DownForEveryoneOrJustMe and other websites which confirmed the case, when I tried to go to the site and Cloudflare gave me the 504 error.

It's a good thing that admins were at hand and got the servers back online. But may I ask what was the cause of the outage in the first place?

[edmundduke]

yeah its been down a while! Nice to have it back

[_act_]

This error use to take some minutes before the forum will start working properly again, but this took like 3 hours. I have only seen this the second time on this forum, I mean the long time down time.

It is only admin that can tell us what caused it. But as we always know it is either caused by little update or an attack. It is nice seeing the forum working back again.

Forum outrage happening quite frequently, today might be the longest one. Glad to see it is back and running smoothly. I doubt the admins would respond or give the reason.

[Amphenomenon]

I experience this also, guess we all did now wondering what was the cause of it though?

[cryptoaddictchie]

Finally. Its quite long, it seems that there is a problem as I saw some tweet on twitter that forum isnt accesible and when I checked its not really working. What seems to be the problem? I thought forum is getting hacked or compromise already.

There was also (a brief) one yesterday and another on October 8.

Same for everyone

I checked the Twitter account @bitcointalk and didn't find anything but https://ninjastic.space/ recorded zero posts in the last 2 hours, a few posts 3 hours ago which means the error lasted for 3 hours and 20 minutes, let's hope there is an update or Less on Twitter next time.
It keep the same session and I am not asked to log in again.

someone on the Bitcoin party discord mentioned that he heard there was a vulnerability on HTTPS which allows easier DDoS attacks, not sure if it is related or not and the person who posted that info on discord seems not sure about it too.

would be nice to hear something from the admit regarding the recent error 504

[Woodie]

Feels good to be finally back after that 3hour + break

and this seems to be a regular occurrence this month, any official standing of what's happening to avoid speculation and all...

[Majestic-milf]

 My issue is why it constantly occurs and had there been no way of solving it. It's obviously a Ddos attack and it's quite disturbing. Imagine being unable to access the forum for about three hours! Is this the longest or are we going to see more

[Gladitorcomeback]

Thanks moderator for getting back, Yes more than three hours site was down. I make one post today 4  hours ago and after that I want to make a prediction but site was down. unfortunately I missed today contest prediction.

This is thirds or fourth time I experience with the site down error. This error force me to think " How hard life without Bitcointalk". This forum is now became a part of my life and I spend most of time here.

The 62,940,389 Posts in 1,366,119 Topics by 3,567,459 Members probably blew up the servers. Who made the last post? It was the last straw

Stats are found here by the way: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats

Theymos just forgot to pay the bills this month. Better make sure to remind him to set some reminders.

Finally we are back in business and the thread in Meta has started. Was the first place I checked to be sure that I was not the only one, though I had already got same replies from other members on telegram.

But this is not the only one in the recent month. Hope admins can get the problem solved soon.

LMAO!

I read some news about strong waves of DDos attacks in recent days. Perhaps the forum was caught in the middle of these attacks.

Anyway, these are situations that can happen. The important thing is to be back.

I think this problem is with me not being able to access the forum. I also think something will happen once the forum returns to normal. But I didn't notice anything different at this time or I didn't realize that there was anything new after almost 3 hours after my first post today, the forum displayed the gateway time-out error code 504.
I don't know... But I want to know why this gateway time-out occurs.

I also experienced this outage for some hours as well seeing the error message displayed I thought we no longer have forum again. Although not too familiar with this errors and I tried to asking around people I know they said is just a common system updates or upgrade this time it will work more effectively.

Absolutlely.

But it would be great if they won't let us in the dark during this day. I also checked Twitter (aehh I mean X) and couldnt find much about it.
I mean, we are back in busines for a few minutes so we should calm down but I would appreciate if the staff would share some updates/infos about this downtime.

I myself have never experienced such a long downtime here.
