Here I was, contentedly reading the forums, when a page refused to load. I tried a few more (tab refreshes in my browser), and none of `em worked.
I decided to try pinging forums.auran.com, with no joy. The severs wouldn`t even answer a ping. auran.com, however, would reply to pings.
After this went on for several minutes, I went over to the help-desk site, which was working, and submitted a ticket, mostly to get someone`s attention to the fact that the forums were (apparently) down. I suppose it could have been a net failure, but that seems unlikely.
I continued pinging forums.auran.com intermittently, and went to the store, which was also still working, and "bought" all the $0.00 items that I could find. I still can`t figure out how to "buy" the "free" stuff, though.
I tried to download one of my purchases, and the download server was also off-line, refusing to answer pings. I`ll get the item later.
About an hour or three after the forums went down, forums.auran.com replied to my pings, so I came back to see what had happened, only to see nothing about it, so does anyone know what happened?
I wasn`t sure just where to post this. It isn`t exactly about General Trainz discussion, and it certainly isn`t about any specific version of Trainz, but it does relate to the hardware that hosts part of the Trainz experience, so I posted in Parts & Labor as the closes match I could think of. If this is the wrong forum, would someone with moderator powers please move it to a better forum? Thank you.
Edit: I forgot to mention that throughout most of this, Content Manager was contentedly downloading a bunch of stuff from the Download Station without any unusual issues.
