Dal_1978 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hi All, Those of you who frequent atari-forum.com will have noticed some performance issues recently and likely had 500/508 errors. A ticket was raised for this last weekend and it was escalated on Wednesday. The latest news is Tech support at the hosting company reckons the site is using too much SQL resource. I have temporarily disabled forum access and I am still getting error 500's. I've fed this back to them and not had a response yet. I'm convinced the node we are on has become over utilised - I'll keep the site disabled for the time being until I have heard back from them. At least I took the opportunity to update the Tapatalk plugin so not all bad! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hey Darren. Sorry to hear about all the troubles. Hope you get them resolved soon. Along with Atari Age, Atari Forum is my main "go to!" Atari resource. Thanks for the update! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Invader Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hope the problem gets sorted out soon. Such a great forum with a ton of different sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Even that short Information page loads very slowly. Something is very bad at host. And it's weekend, so hardly will fix it before Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkman Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hope they fix this quickly. It's disappointing it's taken the host so long to resolve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English Invader Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I can't see Atari Forum going under. It's too popular. Lemon Amiga gets about three posts a day (if that) and it's still around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNameOfTheGame Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 And no word from Dal since Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNameOfTheGame Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Now the message from the website is that "Atari Forum is currently down whilst we move home... Be back as soon as possible" So I guess Dal is changing hosting providers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DarkLord Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Can't get the website to resolve this morning - are they down again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exxosuk Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Forbidden You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. I guess Dal might be working on fixing the wiki issues ?

+DarkLord Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Man, I'm still having problems. The last 3 mornings I've come home from work I've tried to access Atari Forum. I can get there, logon, and just as soon as I try to access any message thread, it hangs there. Anyone have any news about what's going on? When Dal first switched and moved a couple of weeks ago, it was rocket-ship fast for a while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galax Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I usually access it through Tap a Talk on my phone, and have been seeing lots of hangs where I can see the topic but can't load the posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari8guy Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Is it down again or is it just me? I haven't been able to access it all day, yet I got an email saying I got a message on Atari-forum. Which is why I'm asking if it's just me..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exxosuk Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Working fine for me currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflemaire Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 atari-forum.com is no longer accessible for me, unless I use a proxy. For some reason, it seems that my IP is blocked. I can access the site from work without problem, though. This is really a pain, since I now have to enable a proxy to access atari-forum, and then disable it because I haven't yet found a proxy that works reliably on all sites.
