Anyone else notice that webmaster world is down?

Matt Cutts might have knocked them out temporarily with his acceptance of the name of the update and pointing to them for more information.

Or its just coincidence

hehe

I've just been doing all my rounds on the forums to check for replies and post some website reviews and found that it was down.

Seemed to of been down for the last 2 hours or so, I first checked at about 8:15am and it was down then.

Is that like a department store or something?

SEbasic · #6 Oct 19th 2005, 6:53 am

Threadwatch is down too - but at least there are funny messages

Immorta · #7 Oct 19th 2005, 6:55 am

Like the fact he is constantly updating the messages

grnidone · #8 Oct 19th 2005, 10:59 am

forums.searchengine.watch is intermittant. Sometimes I get a database message, sometimes not.

What are the odds that all three have issues?

smindsrt · #9 Oct 19th 2005, 11:04 am

Maybe it's tied into the Googlem update. Google updates they get 3-4 times more traffic than they are used to and BOOM the server doesn't like it.

Might be the case with threadwatch...... I doubt WMW.

The latest message from TW cracked me up:

Fuck this for a laugh, moving servers...
OK, enough's enough, we're outta here...

mightyb · #11 Oct 19th 2005, 11:48 am

I really dont like WW. I am registered there but have not even made a post yet. (yeh, a bit offtopic there)

vord · #12 Oct 19th 2005, 11:57 am

So it's not just me. I'd assumed I'd been booted again for not having the right IP address. Or maybe for posting about "Update Brett". Hopefully some time we'll be able to get back in again and I can blog some more about "Update Mick".

So all those guys have the same server company? Does anyone know what's happening over there?

Nintendo · #13 Oct 19th 2005, 5:41 pm

Something tells me Brett Tabke is really POd right now for the site not being up while the PR is going on!!! There probably losing 100 posts per minute right now due to this!!

It's not that bad, man!

I've always found WMW to be a quality resource.

Yeah that is a big one. I agree.

Blogmaster · #17 Oct 19th 2005, 6:32 pm

it's the kind of forum where you go to find out what you want to know, not a place to really hang out. heck, you're prolly not allowed to ... they have some kind of loitering laws over there

Looks like they are having routing issues to me...

Notice traffic is being looping back and forth between 172.16.101.4 and 172.16.101.5. But even more interesting is 172.16.*.* is a non-routable block of IP addresses. I'm not even sure why those addresses are responding to pings, because they should not be (and certainly no public traffic should be routed through them).

Weird... first he said this

Member files are updating.

Give it a half hour to fully populate.

eg: it takes a long time to upload 150k member files!

A large data center outage in Chicago has left several thousand servers offline. To compound matters even worse, the data center was home to DNS servers by WestHost. We will be temporarily keeping tabs on stuff here.

Then this

Update:

Fibre cut apparently caused a main router to go out. The failover did not fail over properly.
Ok - no problem - unless Cisco flys in the wrong replacement router.

Now I can't get to the site again

EDIT: never mind... thanks for that link, Jim
