Post by: MindGuru on July 19, 2012, 04:23 am
Hey

Is anybody else also having trouble getting to the home page of SR? It was working 10 mins ago .... but now i keep getting "Unable to Connect"...

Is the site down or something?

Yep down for me too. Does this happen often? I'm a n00b and paranoid. Did The Man get SR?

technical glich or upgrade. nothing more

its happened a few times that I know about.

Yes this isn't the first time it has been down for a couple of hours. Basically I would just say wait 24 hours before worrying at all, and ignore all the conspiracies that inevitably pop up whenever SR is down for whatever reason.

Shouldn't admin inform everybody via the forums if there is a technical issue or site is down for maintenance ?

Would avoid any conspiracy theories and people can chill if they know what the issue is

Yes, Absolutely! They should even have the URL forward to a maintenance message, however this has not always happened in the past. Sometimes there is a vague, polite message about downtown when trying to login with the URL, and other times it's exactly like this. Like I said, I would wait at least 12 hours and everything should be back to normal, or you'll otherwise be informed in the forums by then of the likely cause of the problem. Don't jump to conclusions this early in the downtime, you'll just stress yourself out.

Also, whenever SR is seems to be down, always try this URL first that seems to always work when the shortened one doesn't:

http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/home

But, as Paddy said, it's back up  :D
