Discussion SS question

[Lanternlight]

Just a question but does the SS server go down sometimes?
Yesterday I couldn't access for several hours and was worried the site had been banned or I had been banned for some reason :).
Just curious?

 

[Deafsn0w]

Yes

 

[Memento Mori]

It was down for some time. I'm curious if DDoS was the problem or just some host issue

From the FAQ:
"...
Downtime may happen rarely due to maintenance, upgrades, feature changes or similar."
I don't know if someone is DDoSsing, i hope not

God I can't imagine the kind of horrible, horrible person who would DDoS a site like this. I think/hope it was just server issues.

What is DDossing?

Distributed Denial of Service.

 

[Lanternlight]

Distributed Denial of Service.

Thank you for explaining.
I hope that never happens!
I felt panic when I couldn't get on to SS yesterday!! Drove me nuts as I thought I had done something wrong!

@Lanternlight i asked the other day and its most often only down for a very short time period and just for routine maintenance

Or maybe because you got so many likes the server couldn't handle it : )
