FR Technical Problems

[Minn]

Is it just me, or have FR's servers had a real tough week?

[Magic Fingers]

I don’t think it’s just you.

[centurion316]

Servers no workee - that’s a technical term.

[verity]

Tough is a rather mild characterization.

[Lazamataz]

It's you.

(PS: I tried to answer this earlier, but I kept getting SERVER CRASH messages.)

[jjotto]

Yes, I believe.

I’m in Des Moines, Iowa, on Qwest DSL and FR has been very slow or unavailable to me off and on recently.

[PghBaldy]

It has been very bad these past few days.

[gaijin]

Northern California has had super high wind and rain over the past 2 weeks. I think conditions in central California —where Jim Thomson lives— have been equally series.

[Keith in Iowa]

It’s hugh. Series even. Worse than when the moose bit my sister - but, if you go take a shower and come back after a while, all will be well, but only if you’re logged on.

[gitmo]

It works fine for me. Except when the server is down, of course.

[Canedawg]

It’s a bolshevik plot.

[Vendome]

They keep messing with their tables and thus we get 502’s.

Very annoying and I know of no other site that has as many problems as FR.

[Vendome]

twice? LOL

[Ron C.]

Wasn't you - might NOT have been the FR server... as this traceroute shows:

129.250.24.195 19ms 21ms 20ms TTL: 0 (mg-1.a01.mlpsca01.us.da.verio.net ok) 128.242.105.82 20ms 22ms 21ms TTL: 0 (No rDNS) 209.157.64.200 23ms 22ms 24ms TTL: 52 (No rDNS)

gets to line one above, but not 2, line 3 is the FR server..

[DJ MacWoW]

Really? Name some other forums with the same amount of traffic that owns their own servers.

[Ron C.]

Ooops, blew that.. try again

129.250.24.195 19ms 21ms 20ms TTL: 0 (mg-1.a01.mlpsca01.us.da.verio.net ok)
128.242.105.82 20ms 22ms 21ms TTL: 0 (No rDNS)
209.157.64.200 23ms 22ms 24ms TTL: 52 (No rDNS)

[240B]

I still can’t post anything.

And it is a ballovic plot.

[Vendome]

Here is mine and the error they are experiencing is a table issue or gateway problems preventing access or slowing access to their servers.

I don’t know why they would change the table or routing but, I can clearly reach them with no issues so FR is doing something to their layer 2.

“Very annoying and I know of no other site that has as many problems as FR.”

I think it’s carefully timed to coincide with the quarterly fund raisers.
