RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I know that the site is going off line for essential maintenance quite a lot recently. Now ' cloud flare' gets in the way. Quote
Kev Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I know that nothing can be done, but this constant downtime over the last few weeks is getting a little frustrating now! [size=4] [/size] Quote
The Dark Lord Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 It's farcical really. A testing subdomain e,g, staging.basschat.co.uk is the way to go. Quote
Myke Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Doesn't Cloud Flare run the security for Basschat? So they don't get taken down etc? Quote

The guys are doing their level best to provide the bast Basschat possible, and they are cognisant of the options for testing the site. They have a life too. Quote
Jellyfish Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 It pays to be connected to our Facebook. "Did you notice intermittent issues with Basschat this afternoon? Cloudflare, who provide Basschats primary defence against hacking, were themselves subject to an attack this afternoon. Everything is back to normal however. [url="https://www.cloudflare.com/system-status"]https://www.cloudflare.com/system-status[/url] cheers Kiwi" That was a couple of days ago, and it seems that it is the same thing happening when you saw the message earlier.

icastle Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 CloudFlare are actually our web hosters. They have been under DDOS attack on and off for several days now. It is not development work on BassChat's part. Quote
3below Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Cloud Flare is a content distribution network. The basic idea is to distribute web serving over a network so that response times decrease. More info available on cloud flare site. The BC outages probably arise from Cloud Flare issues. Quote

[/quote] No Myke, Our hosting provider, a company that hosts thousands of websites, has been targeted by a bunch of social misfits who like disrupting things. No work has been done on BC for several days now. If we are working on the site and need to take it down, you will get the 'BassChat Down For Maintenance' screen. Quote
