Hobbes Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Just what the title says. I've emailed Pete a month ago about some UFOPaedia issues but he never replied to me. Anyone knows how to reach him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Thorondor just let Pete know. Hopefully he'll respond soon. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorondor Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Worry not, Hobbes. Pete is now aware of the issue and on the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic9mushroom Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Is it just me or is UFOpaedia still offline? I mean, I expected it to go down for maintenance when the spambots really ramped up, but it's been days. What's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hi there It's back up now - I don't check in on it often at all (nor here either really) so was only made aware of the issue today. I think it's time to hand the site over to someone who has the time to give it the attention it deserves so I will put some wheels into motion on that front soon. Thanks for reporting it. EDIT: Also the database went down sometime after new registrations were turned off - it was working when I did that. Seems the spambots then keep hammering at the door until the database falls over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the spambots then keep hammering at the door until the database falls over A month ago I sent you 2 emails warning that traffic was going crazy due to XCOM 2's imminent release and that it was making almost impossible for people, myself included, from working on the UFOPaedia, and things would only get worse when XCOM 2 was released. I don't know if you read my emails, but I for sure was not surprised when this issue happened and that it is a real pain right now to edit pages.

Ros Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Is UFOpaedia again offline? It's been since Monday I get "Connection reset by peer". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Is UFOpaedia again offline? It's been since Monday I get "Connection reset by peer". UFOPaedia is dying due to the continuous traffic/hosting issues - It's been two weeks since the last outage and it has already gone offline again. Either those get fixed permanently or UFOPaedia will turn into a dead site. It has become nearly useless and frustrating to contributors, when I'm trying to add content and the connection keeps getting reset when submitting edits, or when a visitor wants to consult the site to check game information and it is continuously offline.

It's the only place with such detailed informations about game mechanics.Can't we as community do something about it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic9mushroom Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 This outage seems to have gone on much longer than any before it. I heard talk of it being moved, but can someone clarify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
