neon tetra Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Down since Thursday night - about 2.5 days. That’s the longest outage I remember in over 12 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Si1 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 yes some posts have disappeared It was up all the time but you've forgotten it. You love hpi. The boomers earned it.

Orb Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 For a while I felt like a tenant whose landlord threw the towel in. Where did the house go? It simply vanished! Where do I go now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where do I go now? There was an announcement that the forum would be offline for maintenance over Thursday night. It was back on Friday morning but was up and down until it went offline again from Friday evening until this afternoon. Seems really fast now so fingers crossed.

Mikhail Liebenstein Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) how runs the forum? is it running custom forum software or is it off the shelf? It is Invisionboard software. https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/ I think you can either get it as SaaS from a provider or buy and install. Some plan example prices here which include server and traffic. https://invisioncommunity.com/buy Reasonably pricey. Perhaps HPC should start accepting Brave rewards from the Brave Browser, might help pay for upgrades beyond ad revenue.
