Not working for me, either. 0210 CDT. The following is padding to get passed what ever lockout is being used on the site. Funny, most other sites I go to limit how long a posting can be, first time I’ve ever been stopped for being too concise. Time to try again.
BCTS will remain down until sometime around 10 am to 1pm Eastern US time at the latest (Hopefully). Another problem with the login settings cropped up and both Erin and Piper are too tired to fix it tonight. We will be back online Monday noonish Eastern US time ^^

It would appear that the server change didn’t totally solve the problem.
Could the site be under attack again? Hard drives have limited life so heavy use can take one down. I know this because I used to write so much that I had to replace the hard drive in my laptop every ten to fifteen months. I know the (I think they are) SAS drives are more resilient than the SATA drives (looked up the usage figures) and SSDs beat them both (if they don’t fail in the first month).
Is the access and library routing information on one hard drive? if so, then using a SSD drive for that particular one might be an answer. I don’t know if a SSD drive can be used in a SAS configuration or not but there are SSDs out there which can be used in SATA control schemes.
Unfortunately when I checked this morning BCTS was down a second time.
BUT I really appreciate all the effort you gals are putting into this. BCTS is a lifeline.
The message I get about BCTS after 47 seconds waiting was ‘website is offline’, a list of possible reasons and a “What’s CloudFlare?”
Sorry about the problems, wish I was in a position to help but physically not located where I could do so.
Still coming up as unavailable at 10:35 AM Eastern Daylight Time. If I type in the website name, I get to the portal but can’t get past that. It does nothing for a few minutes and then goes to “Website unavailable”
All I get now is message from cloudflare “the website is offline, no cached version available). Hopefuly it won´t take long. One short down time and one is already missing this site so much. Well, I guess it can´t be helped a we must be patient.
So far, still not able to access BCTS. Also, having MySQL errors when I try to access stories on this site as well. I certainly hope everything is going okay.
YAY! YAY! YAYNESS!
Tried to access Big Closet this morning at 0700 GMT (UK time) and was still being directed to Story Portal. Best wishes, God bless.
Down again it seem. 11:33pm PDT
Still getting the Maintenance Message…….
Uh – no it isn’t.
I get the same Server Hardware Issues message

Sorry – not fixed yet!
Just tried to go to BIGCLOSET TOPSHELF @ April 15, 2013 at 3:40pm, still seems to be down as I get this message
This website is offline
No cached version is available
Good luck with the rebuild!
Still down. Disturbing that BC, FM, AND Storiesonline all experienced hardware problems the same long weekend.
When you have time you might look into why this site says my messages were rejected for being too short, yet they are posted anyway.

Nope! 11:38 CDT
Still down. Disturbing that BC, Fictionmania, and Storiesonline all had (have) problems at about the same time.
Still getting the: “Oops! Page Not Found” message when I try to get into big closet topshelf
Love and cuddles,

bcts.us – cloudflare offline error or getting “Server Hardware Issues” page
magda.qnez.net”Server Hardware Issues” (Error 503) or “502 Bad Gateway” (Error 502)
Alas,”BigCloset is Back up and running again!” is our dreams. In RL BC is down.
I realize I must be patient but, if I continue to be patient, I’ll be a patient suffering withdrawal!
how long before wee can start reading storys on bigcloset again babtken
