Yes, I too had not been able to get to any or these sites from 0430 to about 1200 today. When I went to Down for everyone or just me? , phandroid.com was showing that it was everyone, androidforums.com was showing that it was just me, and androidapplications.com was showing that it was everyone.

When I tried to connect to phandroid.com and androidforums.com, I would receive many different error messages and one time I actually was shown the root directory with cgibin being the only folder on it. For some odd reason, androidapplications.com would load, but not fresh data. I believe that it was loading cached pages, but was not actually up and running.

I have not had any issues since.

I got that message too all morning. I thought maybe there was some change to it and entered my PW...the popup box popped up again ...and the site never loaded

This is the biggest hiccup yet!! >_<

I didn't get that. All I received today was:

Please excuse the recent troubles in feeding your Android appetite. We've experienced a pretty deadly server outage (probably orchestrated by an iphone fanboy) but are working our butts off to get things running smoothly as quickly as possible.
Your patience is appreciated!

Oh, well that answers a question I just posted in another area.

glad to see the site is back up and running. I was simply getting an "unresolved host" error all day... making it seem as if the site didn't exist anymore.

I wonder if one of the admins or mods would be willing to tell us what happened this morning? I only wonder because I am curious and I too have had issues like this before with my website. In fact, I cause my entire website (sub-domains and all) to give a 500 server error once because I modified a .htaccess file and accidentally inserted a singe incorrect character. It took me hours to figure out what I did and finally I decided to try changing all of my .htaccess files to .htaccessold and lo and behold, my site came back to life immediately!

I guess we all live and learn, but I just an curious as to what happened today. Mainly because at first it was 404 errors, then 500 internal server errors, and finally (just before the site came back to life) it was asking me to login to a directory (I cannot remember the exact name). So, I wonder if there was a .htaccess file problem or a server problem.

Anyways, if and admin or mod would be willing to tell us what happened this morning, I would be satisfied.

@ Kratus,

Rob explained part of it: forum a little buggy lately?

kratos

Thank you for that. I didn't even think about going to that forum to find info about what happened. I now have a better understanding of what happened and can only guess that Rob is currently working on making sure that stuff like that won't happen again. Gotta love those nameservers. LOL
