Port 2593 now also works. Some of you might have kept connecting to port 2593, which was not set-up to accept connections, but now it's configured. You can use port 60 or port 2593 to connect to the shard.

There were some lag spikes yesterday around 19:00 shard time, I'd say that's just random occurrence, not related to the server move (and the new setup or any forgotten configuration). I'm keeping an eye out though.

Ok private messages fixed, I also added a "react to post" extension, so you can send a quick thumbs-up etc.

If even ...

OK we are moved, and basically stable. Still offline are the Portal & Topsite voting, which should return in an hour or so.

I also fixed the email sending configuration, so those who will be creating a new account, will get ...

Website reconfiguration - possible unavailability in the next 24-48 hours.

You might have recently noticed an error message on the website saying "Resource limit reached", this is a result of a lot of bots lately scraping our website. It's likely AI companies training their AI models, and it is ...

We had two disconnects yesterday, which didn't seem like a big deal, probably just a random network glitch. Another disconnect today, so now there's more chance that there's an issue that needs addressing. I'm aware of the issue and monitoring it, for now it seems just like a network issue in the ...

Voting issues on Friday May 2nd, Topsite voting achievement.

Hey all, the website was down for about 2-3 hours on Friday, May 2nd. This made voting on topsites impossible during those times. If you were unable to vote later that day, and lost a good streak with your Topsite voting achievement, it ...
