CCC up or down?

[Sven Schüle]

For a couple of days at least, I have not been successful in accessing talkchess.com. Has anyone any news about what's going on there?

CCC forum seems to be down today, for the last couple of hours I got the following error, whereas online ChessUSA on the same server does not seem to be affected.

I think the web portion of CCC might be on the same server, but the database is on a different one...

Ah that would explain that Zach, thanks. I send in this error message to WolfPaw Life Support that is hosting the database, Quentin is always pretty busy especially this time of the year so I figured I send a message to the hosting company first. Maybe you moderators were already trying to contact Quentin Turner or Sam, but I don't think it is a problem that I just notify WolfPaw. Talkchess has been down for more than 9 hours now; according to a Google search, somebody reported this error message on Talkchess 9 hours ago when apparently the site must have been back for a while.

I asked Sam. With his permission I quote from his e-mail that

..they have to reboot the server and they want to
> wait until after business hours to do it, so it will be tonight
> before the site is back up...

So I guess it will take some hours more.
