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.

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!
