yeah?.. I got really worried  that  it said,"..and  don't call me again.."

You two could do a manzai act!  Good to see we can laugh at ourselves.

It's good to see you're back up.

For the record, it had happened again this night (past 23:00 eastern time but before 23:17). Was resolve just as I send the email...

mine only lasted  'seconds" this  time...don't mind that..seems like it happens towards the end of the week ?

I got one about 13 hours ago. Didn't have a chance to time it. I could open the home page, but not any forums, nor could I relog/logout. Always 404

Nice one yesterday for like 16 hours or so... can we do anything to help Admin prevent those in the future? More donations help?

Server ran out of disk space, sorry about that!  It's actually all the log files causing issue so I'll look at a long-term solution.

Failing that we'll get more disk space, but to be honest the log files are a waste of space once they're a few days old so if I can just get them removed automatically then we won't have to worry about spending any extra on the server.

You always figure it out somehow. Thanks for all your hard work! I was worried for a hot minute. :D

Phew. I was getting really scared due to the duration of the 404 curse.

I was so worried and sad. And now so relieved.

I've been rather lazy keeping on top of things here of late.. guess it can happen after ten years and a whole lot of real life^TM.  Trying to get my ducks in a row so I can get back to looking after this baby some more!

Do you need/would you consider taking someone on as an assistant?

I know server access is a big deal, but if you can't automated everyhing, maybe have someone with limited rights who can try and resolve issues like this when you aren't available.

I'm rather curious about what causes it.

Well, for this latest one, Jase explained exactly what caused it (see msg #14).

I wondered if someone forgot to feed the hamsters again.

The log files are written by hamsters? It all makes sense, now.

Many thanks to the people on reddit / other forums that noted that one of the errors being received was indeed noting that the disk space was full. You certainly put my players and I a bit more at ease as we were lamenting the outage on Steam :P

Glad that everything is up and running again. Thanks Jase!

 this was a scary one. it started   for me  ..around  9:15 PM  my time,...I just logged on now at 4:01 am, just to check  when I couldn't sleep

 there is a  thing on   the search engine "  is  RPOL down for everyone , But  just me ?"

 It told me it was just me!...a couple other players in my best game talked about it on FB, so I knew it wasn't just me!

Yep, "down for everyone" said it was just me too.  Lying blackberry.

yeah... we need to find where they live!

The main page kept working the whole time, so all of those "up or down/just me" sites could only see the site as functional. You just couldnt get anywhere but the landing page, with your games list.

Thank you, jase, for your long-term dedication to our fun.

Yes, thank you!

I feel so relieved... But I knew Jase would fix it eventually.
