Was it just a problem on my end, or was Dakka actually down an hour or two ago? It seems to be back up now so maybe no reason to mention this, but...eh?

**Tsagualsa**

Can confirm that the site timed out for about three quarters of a hour around 18:30 CET.

**BrookM**

Chances are the servers needed a ~~kick~~ a bit of the old mechanical knock, you know how it is with old machinery, they need a reminder every once in a while to not slack off.

**Dysartes**

The joys of percussive maintenance...

**ZergSmasher**

I think the site was down again earlier this evening? Or was it just on my end? Either way, I guess Lego gave the server a good thwack because it seems to work now.

**chaos0xomega**

Seemed like the site was down the entire day.

Been a weird internet day in general, half of this weeks preorders are missing from the GW site (US region at least - Deathgorge and AoS warbands are all missing, possibly others)

**H.B.M.C.**

It was down for a while. I went to bed, and several hours later it was still down.

**Maréchal des Logis Walter**

Was down from at least 7 to 10 pm, then I went to bed. Wonder what caused it!

**insaniak**

Server was timing out again, so most probably a renewal of the bot assault.

**ZergSmasher**

Last night I could not get Dakka to connect at all, but today it seems fine. Did Lego have to kick the server again or something?

**Snrub**

Yeah it was down for me for like 4 or 5 hours I reckon. Seems to be fine now though.

**Haighus**

I had a couple of hours of downtime too. No issues so far today.

**Shadow Walker**

I had that problem yesterday.

**legoburner**

Sorry, forgot to respond in here - that was maintenance and upgrades. There was a little bit today too.

**Shadow Walker**

Entire previous day dakka was down for me. Could not access it both on laptop and phone.

**Snrub**

Yeah me too. 24hrs at least.

**Nevelon**

Dakka probably doesn’t believe in leap days. Went straight from Feb 28th to Mar 1.

**chaos0xomega**

Hah, you might be on to something lol.

Guess we should expect another outage in 4 years.

Apparently, it does this every year.

Only this year we were the ones that didn’t! Dakka is fine, it is us who are wrong.

It all makes sense now! /mindblown

**bong264**

I lost one internet home already and was scared about losing this one too lol.

**legoburner**

haha, there was actually a leap year related bug that crashed something while I was asleep. Better monitoring services are my new leap year resolution!

**Not Online!!!**

Huh what was that before?

**ingtaer**

Scheduled maintenance presumably. Lego has stated that it will be done weekly to avoid long outages like previously.

**Shadow Walker**

Yesterday I got some problem with dakka not loading at all or loading of pages taking long time.

**Shadow Walker**

Today dakka is either not loading or doing it so slooooooooooow.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Chugging for me too, but if maintenance is being done that's understandable

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Same here.

**Kid_Kyoto**

One issue seems to be our site is sometimes besieged by Robot Pirates! They seek to loot our carefully curated and generated content to feet the belly of Abominable Intelligence!

Now is the time for all MEN to stand up! Will we allow The Machine to deny us our favorite website or will we raise our fists and strike back!

**Overread**

Having seen how the world is going I for one welcome our new Abominable Intelligence Overlord!

I shall praise the 6 fingered hand and offer up all that is created unto the AI!
