"the board is temporarily unavailable"

I've seen this a few times lately.

I've also seen the site become non responsive unless I stop and then refresh the page. This is with both chrome and Firefox.

I don't know if its any relation but the events on the readynas.com main page haven't been loading recently. I refresh and it still doesn't come up.

I'm using firefox 19.0.2

And the board is disabled again

So the forum was 100% offline for last 12 hours. Anyone from NTGR going to give a response? We know this community is not a priority to NTGR, but some communication would be nice.

It looks like about 9 hours actually. It would be nice to know what happened.

It looks like many of their services went offline, including Photos2, Replicate as well.

Time to test failover on that ESX cluster :P

Of all the affected items, I'd expect Replicate being a business feature, would have someone notified of instant downtime. This disrupts off-site backups for customers.

I see nothing has changed around here. Board was offline last 30 minutes. #nopassion

Is board down every day?

No. But it is annoying when it happens.

I don't get it, the server is constantly being loaded, had hard time connecting today.
Is the server hosted on a raspberry pi ? That's the only explanation I found since DB can be clustered and accessing static files is not really CPU intensive, I believe Netgear knows how to load balance servers (I hope for a network product manufacturer at least).
PHPBB is quite simple to maintain I believe. I remember a tab in the control panel with maintenance tools. MySQL isn't as complex as an oracle Database (I know it belongs to Oracle), it shouldn't be complicated to maintain. So what are you guys doing ? messing with ESX priorities for VM ressources ? having a fiber channel storage that stores everything on your network that is overloaded ? Come on guys, you are selling NAS, I believe a 516 would be an overkill to host the forum so no need to buy a real server (and your RN4220 are powerful too...). And you know what ? It can be mirrored and with a good network product (you ought to sell) you can do load balancing. So the question is why neglecting something that your customers actually see when ESX should be dinging all day long for CPU/RAM/Disk overconsumption and when you have the products (and I hope for you the skill to use those products) at hand.
