Simtropolis down again? Or is it me being stupid

[Wiimeiser]

Is it just me, or is Simtropolis down again all of a sudden? I'm getting an error saying "The request could not be satisfied." when I try loading it...

EDIT: I didn't notice the sticky (Last post in 2011 BTW), and I did do something a bit stupid yesterday (Ask why one lot in a set wasn't working on slopes)

We're a lot more relaxed about the old policy on ST downtime discussions now, in part because the whole dynamic surrounding them is a lot different than it was in the days when that old thread was active.

Simtropolis was indeed down for a moment, but it is back now for me.  Seems to be hiccuping between on and off, however.

Oh great.... Simtropolis going shut down for random error.... 
I hope will be OK anytime if lucky.   

[Wiimeiser]

Doesn't look like I'll be able to access it anytime soon. I didn't see anything on their Twitter so it could be my ISP or something for all we know...

UPDATE!!!

Simtropolis website is now back online!

Simtropolis going down AGAIN!!!!

Look likes something wrong that website or just updated forum software etc....

Site does appear to be down for me as well.  No word via their Twitter account (@Simtropolis), which is usually a pretty reliable source for this sort of thing.  Wish them the best on getting back up and running shortly!

Is going up now, Tarkus!

UPDATE 1!!!

Down again? YIKES!!! 

UPDATE 2!!!

Is online again, but loading was slow... Anyway is OK right now. 

[Alan_Waters]

Site was loaded yesterday, but very slowly, more than a minute. I noticed that the site is loaded every time more slowly. 

[AsimPika3172]

Yeah! And now... LOADING SO MUCH FASTER!!!!

[Wiimeiser]

Down for me again, but it might not be for anyone else. It appears Australia might be blocking specific European sites, I can't get onto Derpibooru or Cookie Clicker either...

EDIT: Simtropolis works now, but not the others... Others are working, probably just my ISP messing up...

It might be worth to note that Simtropolis isn't a European site, though, but a Canadian one.

Error again??? 



Waiting for fix..... 

[AsimPika3172]

Simtropolis website got error 525 - SSL handshake failed was appear.... 

[Terring7]

Simtropolis is back

[AsimPika3172]

Simtropolis down again with error 522 or 524 (timeout).... 

[Tarkus]

It's back up now.  Seems they tend to go down a lot late Saturday/early Sunday in the US/Canada timezones (which would be pretty much all day Sunday in Indonesia).  They've periodically had a scheduled maintenance period over the years--not sure what it is at present, but that could be it.

I believe it has to do with weekly backups that occur Saturday nite - its been mentioned in the past somewhere on simtrop.

[AsimPika3172]

Down again?  Maybe was change something... 

[markussaage]

It's been down since yesterday already on and off... Hope, it's not serious and that they get it fixed soon.
