Is there something amiss today at MSFN?

Well it's terrific to have you back. I only resort to this forum on occasion (or to report MSFN outages ....lol. But it's a valuable resource.

Same Here! Sigh!

It's up now!

Still the same this morning. That simply isn't good. And the fact that xper refuses to be contacted in any alternate way, isn't too helpful.

I knew just where to come when I saw this error. Sure enough, I was right ....lol

Now on my Windows 8 PC. MSFN is on the air

Looks like we're back on. Tried with my Surface RT tablet a moment ago.

@Dibya: No this came up before. Xper seems to have secluded himself somewhat ....lol. I realize it's "his" forum, but when you've amassed a group of users to start relying on it, I then view it as a responsibility one has to those users.

Me thinks when it returns I should turn my uBlock back on. Sure I've never donated, but then again, I did endure ads ....lol

xper REALLY needs a way to allow us to contact him other than the forum. This is getting crazy over the last year.

It wasn't - I fell asleep at 3:30 am, so it was down for a good five hours or so.
(too much questionable downtime)

Does the operator need to consult someone perhaps and get their "xper"t opinion? :p
(I promise to keep my day job)

Uh Oh! Guess what?

Uh .... Guys? ..... Is it happening again?

Never mind. Yes I see Xper's explanation.

I will say, xper has a tad of a responsibility to us users (even if this is HIS board). We had no communication or way of finding out anything. And he's cultivated a user base who in turn have developed a sense of expectation from the site.

Now one thing I notice. The posts are only updated up to January 2018.

It works! Woohoo!

Well I've made text copies of NoelC's Scheduled Tasks Lists for Windows 8x. I'm trying to think what else I REALLY need going forward.

Yeppers I see the Maintenance Page. Came here as soon as I saw it
At least there's hope!

Trying to see if I can find NoelC now. This appears a tad harder.

More info - I just tracked him down and messaged greenhillmaniac on Reddit. I linked to this page. I hope we hear bacl\k.

Actually, I found the Windows 8 Repository URL, but there is no personal info of any kind. There's also no way for me to upload a text file just to leave a note.

I'm trying to find greenhillmanic, but I don't even have the URL handy for his Vista and Windows 8 update repositories. I thought there might have been some info on there perhaps.

Actually Dibya, it's been down for quite a few days now. Does xper have an account here?

If worse comes to worse, we'll have to get word to greenhillmaniac, Roytam1, NoelC, jaclaz and a couple others to get their butts over here ...lol

Jump ahead to June 1st - it's offline again. Any news?

Ta Daaaaaaa! I'm able to get in!

Just signed up (but I should have joined ages ago)
And, yes, I cannot get on to the site either. As of last night, just the forums are down. But now the whole site is down.
