I've been confused all day for some reason.

Hopefully it'll be back soon...

This has happened in the past with zero communication and after a week or two it was back.

Hopefully they can afford the hosting fees. Does anyone know how to donate to them?

you may need to use archive.org to view old msfn.org content for the time being, lets hope if it can resume normal again.

There is another thread going here if anyone is interested: https://reboot.pro/index.php?showtopic=23006

SatoshiHikari · Unread post by **SatoshiHikari** » 26 Mar 2024, 20:19

this was said a day ago by trepredicus on reboot.pro about the situation

I haven't been able to get to it since Thursday. I sent a message to the MSFN X account but I don't have any other way to contact Xper. I'm presuming that Dave-H has let Xper know about it.

Plus, keyword "presuming".

mackid1993 · Unread post by **mackid1993** » 26 Mar 2024, 21:27

Xper's email is xper@msfn.org. I found it on their Facebook page. I sent an email, maybe others should too.
Mail servers are down, RIP.

Day 6 of MSFN's outage.

by now i think we can just call it dead

It's gone longer than this before @SatoshiHikari

That's why I think people should demand Xper is more accountable to his visitors. He seems to be a recluse. Even YouTube influencers are more communicative.

mackid1993 · Unread post by **mackid1993** » 27 Mar 2024, 01:22

He could also have personal stuff going on, work, life kids, preventing him from taking care of whatever brought the server down.

Uh would this be considered doxxing? Should I do something?

LoneCrusader · Unread post by **LoneCrusader** » 27 Mar 2024, 04:19

I messaged xper about the issue; apparently there is a massive datacenter outage that is to blame. I have no further details at the moment, he doesn't say very much. A search of my own based on what was said led me to this; I assume all these people are suffering from the same problem.

As distressing as these issues are, I doubt we can "demand" anything of xper.. I think his life situation and priorities lie elsewhere these days. I'm just glad he hasn't decided to shut the place down.

Probably best not to make that info public. I doubt it would help the situation in any way.

YouTube · Unread post by **K4sum1** » 27 Mar 2024, 04:22

I guess I won't do anything, it got edited out before the RSS bot grabbed it.

Good find! The ARIN RIPE NCC information points to the host being in a Velia datacenter.

Interesting. Luck of the search I guess lol.. I hadn't dug any deeper into the specifics of who and what was affected.

I tried to register over at reboot.pro as well to pass on the info but apparently one has to sign up through Twitter?

eh wtf?

YouTube · Unread post by **K4sum1** » 27 Mar 2024, 05:14

Huh, that is weird. I know when I made my account I just made an account. If I remember correctly, I did it through K-Meleon 74 which I know can't render Twitter anyways. I just do manual approval to stop spam. Kinda easy to tell.

Hello all!
First post on this forum.

Found more info about the data centre outage on Reddit:

Water damage...

so that could mean the server the forum was on could of been destroyed...

YouTube · Unread post by **K4sum1** » 27 Mar 2024, 05:58

Maybe, but the data should be resilient enough to be recoverable. I doubt they'd still be using ancient non-sealed hard drives.

Any decent data centre has backups in a safe place, I presume?

SatoshiHikari · Unread post by **SatoshiHikari** » 27 Mar 2024, 06:12

the problem is apparently from a ups servers failure from the water damage this google maps review from one of there customers proves it
