Someone asked me off this forum while the site was inaccessible and all that if FBI had clamped down on the forum, I knew (believed) the comment was rhetorical and so I didn't bother to respond to him. However, if I may ask; does anyone else feel that way whenever the site is down?
So far I've never felt the need to deactivate the forum when it's down. I haven't even had that kind of suggestion since 2017, so I'm just trying to log in occasionally in an attempt to see if the forum have recovered again. The thing is, this forum has been down quite a few times due to Cloudflare which may have left me wondering what the reason is.

I don't know how many websitse are "clamped down" by the FBI each year, but I do know almost every website is down once in a while. So it's simply much more likely to be a server problem. Even getting hacked must be a much more likely scenario.

If this is not an alt account, then you should not have heard of Twitter account. All the discussions about it were from the pre-Cloudflare era, which I think is before 2019.
The last time I visited r/Bitcoin, it required you to log in before access content, Twitter is an excellent option.

I see, I will follow the Twitter account indeed!
Normally you should be able to access r/bitcoin content without an account, the community is not private but perhaps there are geographical restrictions which I am not aware of.
And I wonder why nobody noticed that Bitcointalk's Twitter account had risen from the grave (I thought it was a hack 
).
).Good news, I didn't think that account was back in action, especially after I heard about deleting inactive accounts on Twitter.
Oh, I didn't even know there was a Twitter account for bitcointalk (or if I knew I totally forgot it) ! 
We could also have announcements on reddit/r/Bitcoin during long downtimes.

This happened again, sometime last night (I don't know what your time will be but it's almost 12 hours from now) I was browsing without logging in.
I don't know how long it lasted, but it definitely took more than 10 minutes. I wonder why no one reported it?
noticed that too, it was a 522 error that had happened last night and not a 504 error. on my end I only waited for about 10-20 minutes before it was working again, I might have missed the majority of the downtime since LoyceV mentioned there is a 59 minutes gap between post 62406577 and 62406600I don't know how long it lasted, but it definitely took more than 10 minutes. I wonder why no one reported it?
So that's 59 minutes - it really sucks to wait that long. Even recently the Cloudflare issue has been very frequent - it's been a few times during the first half of this year.

Back.
I checked Cloudflare Status and from what can be seen they seem to be doing quite a bit of scheduled maintenance these days, but there have also been some incidents that could have caused the problem that happened yesterday.
In any case, I think 59 minutes is something we can all endure, although no one likes when the forum is offline.

I'm missing 59 minutes between posts 62406577 and 62406600. When it worked again, I got a Cloudflare screen, and I think that's the reason my scraper missed a few posts.I don't know how long it lasted, but it definitely took more than 10 minutes.

I don't know what the problem may be but seems this year errors code is getting much, actually I experienced this yesterday morning as well I wanting to access the forum but I couldn't due to the error code. I was like could it be the forum wants to shot down or what? After some while it came up again. From my research on this forum, Bitcointalk is one of the largest cryptocurrency community that conveys all necessary information one needs to know about bitcoin and any altcoin related tells, so this gives me full confident that it can't just shot down without a reason.
I don't know why we're all seeing or having this issue while trying to use the forum, I think this is making if the second time in a week now (if I'm not mistaken)
Should we all be worried (because I'm damn worried)? Can this affect this Forum or affect our accounts? Can it also repeat itself again?
Mehn, to be frank with you guys I was so scared when I saw it happen again, I almost bit my tongue. Something different happened that I noticed, the duration wasn't like the first one, just some minutes like 30mins I suppose, is it that it won't pop up again?
Still praying for it not to happen ever again.

Had some at about 06:16 UTC time this morning but, with the Host site appeared to have errored but, it didn't mean much haven't seen it happen a few times in before hand.
So, no need to worry mate, just take it to record because it would happen again in the future and with gjis experience, you would find no need to panic. You just give it time and you'll be back online.

Is there nothing that can be done to stop another future occurrence? At this rate it's becoming worrisome. This one lasted close to 30 mins on my end, who knows how long the next would be? Hopefully if it's a bug or a Ddos attack or something, it can be rectified before causing more upset..
It's hard to stop it because if it's a DDOS, there will still be another DDOS that can take this forum offline like before. But it could be a bug that needs to be fixed soon and I'm sure the forums are still manageable as the offline time today isn't as long as before.DDOS means that there was an external attack that caused a capacity overload and I suspect that happens to many sites out there, not just this forum. What's different is the offline time of the site because some are offline for several hours or even several days.
So no need to worry about this.

It's hard to know. Sometimes this type of problem ends up being outside the responsibility of administrators.
This month, I know that there were several instabilities at the DNS level all over the world. So it could be something related, I don't know.
I myself felt some instabilities in some sites that I manage. Instabilities that little or nothing I could solve.
Earlier this month, an IPTV service was shut down by the authorities, which was housed in a legitimate data center, which affects various legitimate websites and services across Europe. Typically, these things end up having recoveries all over the place, if only because of configuration readjustments in the data center.
But, this is all an assumption on my part, because I saw several services affected by this type of instability.

I was almost accurate , in general that it is less than the previous time that lasted for more than two hours and the second that lasted for about 5 minutes (I do not think many have noticed it)
I don't think it's a DDoS attack. Cloudflare works fine and did not ask me to solve captcha. its related to BTT servers.

This error came again, but it lasted for 20 minutes to an hour. This is the third time it has happened in less than a month
I wasn't online on the forum when this happened but I wonder why we are having frequent time out error messages these days.
The previous outage was of few hours and this one was about 30 minutes. I guess something is not normal
It doesn't particularly look like a DDoS or other attack, though I can't rule it out.
It could be a DDoS attack
It lasted ~28.5 minutes. That's the time between post 62351319 and [url=https://loyce.club/archive/posts/6235/62351320.html]post 62351320.
Ok thnx for clearing that out. So in the end I didn't exaggerate about the duration of forum being offline but I thought I might have because I was checking like every few minutes.
it lasted for 20 minutes to an hour.
I think it was down for about 15-20 minutes maybe.
It lasted ~28.5 minutes. That's the time between post 62351319 and post 62351320. Today again the forum was down for some time.
I could not access the forum and then check through https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/bitcointalk.org and found this result.
Yep, same here, I think it was down for about 15-20 minutes maybe. Or maybe it seemed to me that it was down for that long as at one point I even got worried that something serious has happened. I could not access the forum and then check through https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/bitcointalk.org and found this result.
My best guess at this point is that it was a random failure of some networking hardware. It doesn't look like any failure I've seen before, so it's difficult to diagnose. It doesn't particularly look like a DDoS or other attack, though I can't rule it out.
There won't be any downtime if/when I change anything regarding images.

Many of us has faced this in past also like not able to access the forum with different cloudfare errors but the problem was on our end but this time forum was down for everyone for more then 3 hours but now everything is normal again which is good news for all of us.We should not be too worried about it like it doesn't seems like any DDOS attack but problem with forum server so relax now and post normally.
It's back to normal, but what worries me is that I couldn't access the forums for more than 3 hours today. Obviously this isn't the usual, I mean attacks like this have happened in the past but it doesn't take much time to get back to normal.We don't have any information how long it takes to recover to normal every time the bitcointalk forum goes down for more than 1 hour, it's because the admin doesn't have active social media to let us know the announcements. If that exists, I think the concern among users can be allayed. Or let me know if I missed a lot today.

As of the time of this post, I am still receiving intermittent 504 errors from Cloudflare here and there.

It was down for everyone for the last few hours. I used to visit the forum once in a while. I tried a few times and it was down all the time.
We have never seen such long down time. Maybe some internal work is ongoing, maybe the imgur issue as theymos was also looking for a solution.

When I was unable to access the site, I got a bit worried and thought it could have been any issue at my end. But later i checked on https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/bitcointalk.org and felt the sign of relief that it was a common issue faced by everyone (and not just me).
Also i don't think if it has anything to do with dealing with imgur images as if that was the case, theymos may have told us in advance that the forum may be down for some time for upgrades.
maybe the imgur issue as theymos was also looking for a solution.
That was what I was also thought of. theymos is looking for a way to solve that issue at once. I will prefer using the forum software to do that job so that things will be very easy for user to upload images. For the downtime of the forum website, this is making thrice I have experienced this. But this one is the longest one. When my friends where panicking by calling me I was telling them to calm down because I have seen it before. Definitely I know that it reopen. It was just for mean time. From the errors, my browser was good, device was good and it was only the website which is www.bitcointalk.org was having the error message. And for about three hours, the site just open. For those who have encountered it before were not shaking but for those first timers, they were like something else. We thank God for everything. 
Yes, and I did take a nap and when I wake up, the site is still down, so I have to check if it is just me having this issue.
And so I go here,
https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/bitcointalk.org.html
Yeah as others have though, it could have been DDOS or simply Theymos is fixing something on his end.

It is the first time since 2017 that the server has stopped for all this time, and it is definitely not related to imgur or DDOS.
There was a problem with the server and we will report it soon.
I was afraid that the server was hacked because I use a useless recovery email, and I hope it is not hacked.
For me it lasted more than 3 hours.

Shhh don’t make noise guys…. theymos is working on imgur issue
I was unable to access bitcointalk for last few hours and got this message of Gateway time-out with Error code 504
How come the forum unexpected downtime is too much ? Is everything OK ?
By the way this is the biggest downtime i experienced on here.

it's been down for me too for the last 3 hours and i check on Bitcointalk Twitter to check for any info but sadly i don't see any info regarding this down. but i only see a meme coin update.
Yeah it was a pretty long downtime.
Do we have some mirrors available somewhere in case of a longer downtime ?
By the way, 3 hours without the forum is not like a trauma, but it could be great to have some mirror urls in case of a long failure, or DDOS
Quite worried when the forum went downtime we became quite curious so that the internal problems could be resolved properly and now the forum is normal, and activities are smooth again.Do we have some mirrors available somewhere in case of a longer downtime ?

I've never heard of forums having mirror links and one of the accesses is forums with this domain and nothing else, but actually, we often experience this kind of thing but today maybe that's what I've felt for a long time.
We thought it was an Imgur script issue but for real it's not.
Everything is back to normal but this is the longest down ever because several times it happened it was only a matter of minutes and I was able to access the forum again properly, so I thought there was nothing to worry about maybe because it happened in the time zone where the forum administrator was sleeping so he didn't realize it would what's going on.

This also surprised me seing this and the next that comes to my mind was if there was an ongoing upgrades as regards the poll made on Theymos thread concerning the image, but honestly we are all excited and very happy to see the forum back again, i still believe all these was for good concerning one aspect being upgraded on the forum, we appreciate Theymos for kind and prompt administration of the forum in all aspects, he's really working hard in giving the best to the forum continuity.
These are things that can happen. That sometimes it just happens when we're sleeping, that it takes a little longer to resolve.
What matters is that everything is back to normal.

I was also experiencing the same issue. I think the timeout was a longer one this time because I was unable to visit the forum for more than 2 hours. I think the host might had the issue seems like Cloudflare was working but the host was down.
It seems the backend became like an automobile combustion engine and theymos didn't know which nuts to remove or replace
So far this has been the longest based on experience. For over three hours no one could access the website. I guess there actually was an upgrade, maintenance and something of that nature ongoing. I know it was not a ddoss attack because we have high tech gurus who runs and manage this platform who can fix things here up but this took much longer than expected.
@LoyceV sir, what could this be? please
What it could be: Thermos had a few too many drinks and this happened:
(source)
I guess the whole forum is down for the past few hours which only theymos can tell what actually had happened. I hope he did actually fix the things up or this is just related to server downtime and got fixed by the registrar or something.
I thought it was a DDoS attack or some issue affecting the forum because I had been attempting to access bitcointalk for the past 3 hours without success, I even tried a VPN but it's negative.
I was thinking if there were any changes happening on Bitcointalk, possibly related to Imgur or any new implementation for posting pictures on the forum. I believe this is one of the longest shutdowns in the forum that has occurred in years, I hope nothing bad happened. I'd wait for more replies to know the cause of this issue...

I am not a hacker or a software programmer, so I don't have a good education about all that, and that's why I am asking this question too. What could be the cause of this error message when trying to log in to bitcointalk.org this morning? This error occurred for more than 2 hours before it was able to be fixed. I know I have experienced this before, but it did not take so long before I was able to log in, but it seems today's experience took so long, I was beginning to think if the site was under attack, because nothing seems to be a surprise to me anymore this days.
@LoyceV sir, what could this be? please
When I tried logging in but couldn't because of this gateway ish, one thing came to my mind; I thought I had awoken in a different time or the apocalypse was taking place 
..but I'm glad it's fixed .

I hope if there was a bug that might have been fixed during the shutdown time or maybe there was a off time issues with the server itself.
