Forum Update

[STAFF]

Thank you for the update @STAFF. Could you tell us if the forum will maintain support for Tapatalk, please?

I will find out, thats something we had brought up. The new software has its own app and not sure if its compatible with Tapatalk. I hope it is, but either way getting off Vbulletin was a must, its not being kept current and it will eventually go away and not be supported.

Was the down time today upgrade related or did you get hit with a DNS attack?

We were working on server side and broke something, Shouldn't be anymore downtime till we go live with the new system.

Hmm should have only been 8 hours max, I am not 100% sure when it went down, think it was over night so we didn't notice till the morning.

Sounds about right. Went down ~8pm, as I recollect, and was back up in the morning.

Been there done that. Ask the new owners to pony up for a distributed hosting model so you have some sort of redundancy.

OTOH then you're at your platform's mercy, and Cloudflare LOVES yoinking the rug out from under Wrongthinkers. Toward the end of my time as a mod there they had threatened Redstate with deplatforming SEVERAL times after the 2020 election, part of why management turned to Karening and cowardice there.

Preaching to the choir. We are an AWS shop. Look at what they did to GAB. I'm neither a fan nor detractor, but they got shot down and then created their own hosting facility and services. That is the way.
