Warning of hosting server issues

[oldandlively]

Just a heads up, brothers. IBM has been reporting quite a few unique issues coming from them. Looks like the AI deployments and cutting supporting and technical staff earlier this year is not helping their mainframes stability either.
IBM reporting that their service can potentially shut off DNS out of nowhere. That means if you don't see us for a few hours, or even a day or so, that's IBM mainframes on the fritz. They're investigating it now. There's a constant conflict between IBM and Cloudflare, causing traffics to bounce and not as responsive like we want. Sometimes, you get an error of "Not able to reach". We are at the mercy of the hosting server and its supporting mainframe.

So, be patient. If things go sideways, we do have our Discord channel to fall back on to keep everyone up to date on the events.

Thread 'Discord Channel for remote chats and server updates for emergencies'

Feb 4, 2025

As it happened again today, the new software clashed with one another. We've created a different remote chat channel to keep us up-to-date on the web forum's news.

Discord Channel: Join the Matters of Size (MoS) Discord Server!

If the invite doesn't work, go straight to the channel: Discord - Group Chat That’s All Fun & Games

The chat channel is to provide up-to-date information on the status of the web forum server. It's not meant to provide in-depth info on PE routines. We will not back up the chat data from the Discord Channel.

Do be careful not to provide sensitive...

Hopefully if this happens, it won't take more than a few hours and we will be back online.
