a quick question about the what if forum: it once said I've been banned, then after a while I was unbanned, and then as of now I am banned again. I've never made an account there so it says guests are banned. Is it a regional issue or something that's intended? Would appreciate any help!

I'm getting '502 Bad gateway' when trying to connect to the what-if forum. Server issues?

Yeah PHP process died. I restarted, it good now.

There are historic IP address bans, if this happens again, visit whatismyip.com and then give me the IP address number, I can delete it.

In terms of models, there is a lot of talk at the RPF about the 3 foot Enterprise having finally been located.

Sorry to resuscitate this thread but I’ve been trying to register on whatifmodellers for a couple of months to no avail.

It also looks like the webmaster@ address does not work.

Does anyone know of a way to get the attention of the mods there so I can unblock my registration?

Many thanks in advance!

I checked, your account "pressure" is approved. Can't you log in?

 

[Pressure]

It’s just been approved. I am most pleased!

I'm getting a 502 error again.

Cheers, there seems to be an issue with the server, I have logged a case with Digital Ocean.

I have been able to connect to the server via a recovery option, can see the files, just trying to figure out what happened in order to fix it. Working theory is the site / server might have been hacked.

No, it looks like it was just the server running out of disk space. Should be reasonably easy to fix.

Forum is back up and working but I still can't log on via SSH. Will shut down and fix this later, have some other urgent stuff to do first.

 

[overscan (PaulMM)]

Okay, I think we are good.

 

[Hobbes]

excellent, thank you.
