Forum down?

[mitm001]

Is it just me or is the forum down?

Yes it’s down. I’m doing everything I can. Everybody I need to talk to seems to have disappeared. Hopefully someone will respond soon.

Do you know why it is down?

who is hosting it currently?, because i dont remember. i understand evertyhing we can do is wait for "people you need to talk to" ;/

Yes I know why it’s down and I know how to solve it, I just need permission elevations. Anybody that can do that is not responding right now. All I can do is wait.

Just to let you know, if there are a lot of problems hosting it, there is chance "we" might be able to host it.(on own servers).

sites already run are like almost 100% uptime.

access could be provided.

but its only if you guys really require help with hosting.

I spent half the day getting the jmonkeystore forum to work. Feel free to sign up there. I'm not sure if/when the current forum will be available.

I don't think it's a good idea to have 2 forums.

Its not 2 forums. One is for jmonkey and the other is for the store. The Jme forum doesn’t work right now and I’m not sure when it will be up. I can’t get in touch with anyone.

jMonkeystore should just have category in main forum, i agree with Riccardo.

Still no word from people who can help you solve hub forum issue?

Guys I don’t think there is a forum anymore. From what I know:

We are hosted on digital ocean. We were a part of their open source sponsor program and that expired. I contacted them twice to renew it and got no response. During that time the bill wasn’t paid and whilst I have all kinds of ssh and backend permissions, I do not have permission to pay the bill. I contacted everyone that did have permission time and time again to the point of annoyance and got no response, so I couldn’t pay the bill myself. I still haven’t got a response. I tried to contact digital ocean and explain the situation but they again didn’t even bother responding. Which basically means I was the only active member of the server team with no permission to solve the problem and despite shouting from the roof could not pay the bill.

So. As of now: Digital ocean invoices are sent out on the first of every month. You have 21 days to pay. If you don’t pay by then the droplet is purged and the data is available for 72 hours until deleted.

We do have forum backups, but again I do not have access. The issue now is that it’s not just the backup but the entire configuration of the server gone. It was quite a complex setup. I know because I was part of the team that set it up.

I don’t know what happens now. At this point it’s pretty clear to me that that’s the end of that. I hope I am wrong, but I tried everything and got absolutely nothing except white noise.

I should also say that the asset store was sponsored by members of the community and is still available, along with a forum. It will continue to remain and developed until such time you guys stop sponsoring it. Feel free to use that forum as normal if you so desire. That is all I can do.

There's also the Slack channel, although it's pretty desolate at the moment. What about setting up a free forum from one provider or another?
