Announcement Update about downtime earlier & service cost increase. (1 Viewer)

Sourcekeeper · 12 August 2020

Due to many complains from our users, I've decided to migrate away from our previous dns & cdn provider cloudflare, there have been various issues with their cdn & dns services when we used them like website failing to load & error pages served when browsing. In attempting to migrate, i changed the dns records too early to our new provider which cause immediate cache flush on cloudflare resolvers resulting in our site not existing in the internet. But luckily we live at the age where mistakes such as this won't cause days of downtime which is the norm in the past, our new provider's dns servers successfully propagated our dns to most of the major providers around the world in less than an hour.

Due to this change, we are no longer under a cdn, which we will employ starting next month under CDN | Content Delivery Network | Site Speed | StackPath, for now i will monitor whether we will need a cdn due to our forum's heavy usage of images, i have updated our donation goals by $10 to reflect this change. I will appreciate any help on this but it is not required, i know covid and economy outlook is not looking good.

That's all for now, i am sorry if site is not accessible now and then cause dns is still propagating, it will take around 24 to 48 hours to fully resolve on all servers in the world.
