ARF down again?

Since yesterday I get a "Critical error" when trying to access ARF. Is the problem mine or Alan's?

phpBB : Critical Error

Error creating new session

Seems like it, got this at 12:30 edst...

I'm holding off posting to ARF classified until it has run stable for at least another 4 weeks.
Besides, not much prepared to go anyway.

Oh, well...

I'll hang here for a few days...

Looks like this ARF server is no better than the one they used a couple years' ago. That one was down a lot too.

I got in a few minutes ago.
Hummm!

I guess there are still some bugs to be worked out.

Thanks again Bill. I left several "thank you's" back home.
Terry

I just got in before the last post. Now nothing!
Weird!
T.

I haven't been able to get on ARF all day.

Nick

I'm surprised we haven't heard from Alan. Could it be something on his end and not the server? I admit I'm not that computer savvy, so I'm just guessing here.
Terry

I just got on and left a message.
We'll see.
T.

He's been trying to get things up and running by using backup data, and probably has to take it off line to accomplish. This would include the pictures section. From what I read. It will have some glitches to be worked out.

It's been on and off (mostly off) all day today

It's off-line right now, again. I've been getting lots of errors since this "new" server went on-line.

Oops i posted this in ARF off line again.Can someone please explain to me why the ARF site has so many problems. I really do like the site but it has gotten really silly. I know of no other site that has had the problems like this site. Maybe all the ARF people should leave there and join the TRF. Gets really frustrating when you are looking for answers to a technical question.Never seen any problems here
Stan Ski.

I agree. There's no excuse for all the technical problems going on over there. It seems to be getting worse day by day. It's very frustrating. I belong to about 9 forums for 10 years now and have never experienced these kinds of problems. What's doubley frustrating is that there is no feedback from the owner. Even a simple "We're working on it." would be nice but nothing.

Larry

Larry, Thanks for backing me up. Hate to say this but maybe is is time or " The Owner" to give it up.
Stan Ski

Lets don't be so hard on Alvo. I'm sure its a PITA for him more than us. I too would like the comfort of an explanation about all this 'new server' stuff that has been heavily contributed to monetarily by the members, one of which is no longer with us. Just a word, just an acknowledgment of donations would be a good start.

If we need to pony up for something then ok but we just bought a new server a couple of years ago and I think one a few years before that.

Seems to me, what little I know, is that the cheapo server co-location deals are what keeps going bad and every move creates problems. Ya gotta pay the bill to get onto a good serving site!

Crittical Error!
Cannot conect to server.
Sites ' down.
I've been having constant problemsfor 3 days of Crittical Error.
Happens when I try to navigate, and, when I try to post.
Why has yet another server failed?
Modern junk.
ARGH!

Maybe it needs recapping. Or maybe the "new server" never really existed.

If no one else says it-
Thanks Bill.

I'm a retired computer specialist with extensive background in this sort of stuff. There seems to be some confusion on ARF with all kinds of finger pointing at imagined culprits so lets lay some to rest.

The problem was caused by yesterdays spammer. - Nope.
The problem is due to all the users. - Nonsense. Here's the number of current users on another forum (There are currently 943 users online.) and we have never, ever had these problems.
It takes time to work out the bugs. - Yeah, maybe a day, but this is going on since the server change and it's getting worse. Either no one's trying to fix it or they don't know what they're doing.
I'm sure they're working on the problem. - Maybe (I personally doubt it) but what's so difficult about communicating with your client base? There have been several posts on ARF complaining about a lack of communication from buyers, sellers, shippers, receivers, etc so the subject should not be an unknown concept to anyone. It's called "Professionalism".

While I understand your opinion Stan and the others stated here my comment might be the odd man out. Alan over the years has stated that at various times (sometimes over the bickering that takes place from time to time) that giving it up might be a definite option. Although he does run the Forum it is definetly not his entire life. To lose ARF and its archives in my own opinion would be a sad day.

Just my 2 cents

Best
Ken

Looks like it is down again.

Dave

Looks like it is down again, tonight ?

Oh, well... ARF crashed, again..... Back to square one......
