Cable network crash in NL caused SPfreaks.com to be offline

But after almost a day we’re back again. Stop worrying guys, it had nothing to do with us.

huh, that’s weird, i didn’t notice it was offline for so long. i thought it was just shortly earlier this morning.

[Arthur]

We were offline since around 22:00 last night (Dutch time). The first emails about it came in shorty afterwards.

Veronica Grey cut the wires?

lol

i was having heart attacks wondering where the site was, till arthur emailed back to me and said, wow i can’t get on it either, must be something horrid, like a fire. then i had a another heart attack.

but *whew* it is back, so i will not have to cry my eyes out.

Yeah, she damaged quite a few of her wires.

[blueczarina]

actually i think she damaged all of her wires

i’m glad to see the site back. it was down since yesterday afternoon for me. when bullet told me what Artur had said to her about the site and him not even being able to get on- i had a heart attack too.

at least its back.

Don’t be too shocked when SPfreaks.com and/or it’s forum is down sometimes. That company causing the trouble still doesn’t have everything under control. Cables go haywire over there. Really guys, it’s not us!

[bullettwoutbutterflywings]

well, i am glad to know what it was, but this morning our electric was out for about 9 hours. sucky.

[blueczarina]

oh, i wish everybody’s power would stay on.

i’m glad to know it isn’t the site though Arthur.

Which reminds me of the offline period yesterday of the forum… Again that was something we couldn’t help.

You know, tech thingy again, both http://www.spfreaks.com and forum.spfreaks.com have a different IP address. As they are dynamic, it means that every now and then they change. This change should be rolled out all over the world by some internet parties, and there it gets delayed sometimes. Also, when people still have the old IP address in their cache memory of Internet Explorer, it means it will not find the site. Restarting your internet browser sometimes helps. Otherwise, waiting a day till the roll out of the IP address is complete, is the only solution.

We’ve seen things like this happen to other websites also… Nothing to worry about!

‘Ol Veronie’s pushing her luck, it seems.

If I can’t visit this site, I go here: http://hipstersunited.com/blog

After that, to \"scanned items // spfreaks.com\" on the right side. This seems to bypass the problem each time for me.
