If you look at the most recent person to join, you'll find it's after the supposed shutdown date. I call shenanigans.

This is a weird sort of shutdown. Perhaps the NS Gnomes are wrecking havoc.

I wonder how the experience of a player who joined NS during the shutdown would be? XD

I have that too, but I'm not sure whether it's intended.

Same error apparently

I got a reppy error:

Entire sidebar disappears into whiteness. Oh dear.

And awesome image Gameside of Reppy running away from a server! Or black gate box! Or something!...

Looks more like a rack of servers that look to all be on fire due to the error. It's like that image from silicon valley.

I can see that, though apparently NS is saving on money through using only... 12 servers?

I believe that the longer you post, the more times a timer that resets when you'll be logged out of the server goes.

I dunno whether that theory is correct, but it's one I'm sticking to. Elu will have to physically boot me *rolls for dodge*

Eluvatar might have to manually remove us from Forumside, perhaps, to fully shutdown the entire server. We'll have to wait and see.

EDIT: There's only a few active viewers in Technical?...

That's actually kinda normal. Technical isn't the most popular forum.

but it is actually the most important forum. It would do people will to pay more attention to what goes on there.

Heya. Just thought I'd pop in to say I can log in right now and do stuff game-side. Coincidentally, my internet was down today for an hour right before this.

We're back, as of 16 minutes ago, actually.

Has it gone well, the downtime? Or if not, what hasn't gone well?

It didn't go well, but matters were eventually resolved.

Y'all's really scared me into believing I was DoS-ed or something

NS can only handle one scandal at a time...but you can donate 1 endo per update to the Help Vincent Drake Afford Food Fund for expedited processing...

Just wanted to shout out to Elu and [v], thanks for everything you do. We give you shit, probably daily, but you do a ton of thankless work on the site that we don't truly appreciate until everything breaks. Again, thanks for fixing update and keeping an eye on potential future issues with it, you guys are awesome!

All I get is an error message that says: "NS Archive is not enabled on this server."

Is this related?

it says: Server Error! Sorry. We failed to connect you with the NationStates Metaverse.
This may be caused by temporary technical problems, bugs, or widespread political revolution.

NS is down again for me.
