Sounds like one of FF.net's usual "Let's shut down when people really need the site" fits.

Just noticed it now. Literally logged into LJ to check this--and it's the first thing up...

It just started doing this for me as well i was really into something i was reading tried to go to the next chapter and it did the 503 thing. I was like NOOOOO!!!!! WORK DAMN YOU!!! I feel so stupid i tried to get it to work for like 10 minutes and then finally gave up.

Bloody twits just had to start updating their servers when I'd just found a decent fic. Now the only place I can get to is the main page and that's pretty worthless by itself as none of the other pages, profiles etc seem to work <_<

What was the fandom and title? Some authors will post to other archives or their LJs.

The site's been sure slow to load...

This is why:

Login/submission area is currently disabled due to upgrades in progress. We apologize for the brief inconvenience. Thank you - Site Staff

Sure hasn't been brief...

Glad they're prioritizing the biggest source of gay kiddy incest porn on the whole site...

HIhgly rec everyone checks their fics once the site comes back up... In the past I've found upgrades like this often remove all formatting between paragraphs especially if you use *** or XXX or similar to separate paras...

I've had to re-upload my longfics several times because of this, and now I just use the single line in FF's formatting toolbar even though I hate how it looks.

Arrgh I'm so sick of this! Not to mention the massive lag for notification emails.

It was working fine for me this morning, went down for my lunch and came back 30 mins later to find the site had done it again!!! i noticed there is a message on this page from the actual site staff... you'd think they would put that message up where it counts. Instead of a 503 error message, it would have been nice of them to leave a message behind instead. but nooo, let everyone else guess the problem, we don't mind!!! >_< if i hadn't got on this page, I would never have known what was causing the problem. As it is, I understand that they need to upgrade every once and while to keep the site working. I just hope this won't take too long to fix or whatever they are actually doing... this is killing me. not too mention, it already has done it to me a couple days ago. GRRR.

I hate this! Its been like this since last night and its extremely annoying. I was in the middle of reading a good fic. and it shut down on me when I tried to go to the next page. When will it be working again?

[identity profile] rae666.livejournal.com 2010-09-17 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
So mean when it does this. Just when I've got back into using the site regularly again as well... Eeevil!

(Anonymous) 2010-09-17 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
must be why my stats are so much lower. I just thought the stats counter was down again, lol.

It's been doing that for me too...

(Anonymous) 2010-09-24 01:41 pm (UTC)(link)
...all day. I hope we are not going back to that whole "we can't open any page" thing, like some time ago...because that would be really bad.
