Anybody know the status on EAB? Seems to have been off-line since around Thursday last week!
Hoping it's just some glitch and we haven't lost another valuable classic Amiga forum.

Don't you mean since last night?

It hasn't even been 24 hours yet.

It hasn't even been 24 hours yet.
Last time I tried was about 1am on Thurs night and couldn't get on then, tried again yesterday and today, just assumed it had been down the whole time.
Hope it's just server issues then if it's been up and down.
-
Probably just server issues. The whole abime.net ecosystem is down.
-
I don't have an idea about servers, but what can make a server like that or this or another go down for three days?
-
hackers or not paying the server rents?
-

hardware failure with no mechanism to get a replacement in quickly for example.
or loss of data, and no backups (that should never happen of course but people still think they don't need backups for some reason)
-

Long easter weekend so there's no techies in to fix it?
-

Doubtful, because the admin (RCK) owns the server (if I'm not mistaken).
-
Some hardware failure. RCK posted on the Abime IRC chat that a hard reboot of the server had no effect, and that he would go to the network center on Tuesday after Easter to fix it.
-

It is doubtful, but owning your own server does not mean you get no costs. The biggest costs with hosting are power and such. abime sounds co-located, so you still pay the hosting costs (Unless your mate owns the data center etc) ;-)

yes guys EAB is gone forever
here is the last message that RCK posted on youtube before EAB cessation
Hi amiga funs

laserback is trolling (or a poor attempt at humour).
abime.net and RCK are based in france.

it's true
it seems he is moving to the USA because legal problems with his ex 19 old years wife
take a look at the A1k.org threads

Got a link to the A1k.org thread?
A devastating blow to the classic community if this is the case :( Also a lot of valuable info lost in their threads. I guess we'll see if it comes back tomorrow when people are back to work, but it's not looking good.
This would mean Hall of Light is dead too :(
-
I hope this is not true, it was a very good technical reference with many talented community. I wish I could recover some technical post I made before I joined Amiga.org.

Same, wish I had taken back-ups of some of the sticky threads in the hardware section, HOL is a massive loss too. Presumably RCK could get some funds by selling Abime off, rather than just taking it down with him?
-
I think someone is pulling your leg then! - and which thread?
the address you mentioned in your post is the address for "Progressive peripherals and software" - a company many might remember from the old days.
How about stopping spreading nonsense!
-
irc topic on official abime channel - "RCK:abime server down, hard reboot useless :(, I will have to go at Netcenter tuesday]"
now stop this idiotic trolling.
-
yes guys EAB is gone forever

That phone # is disconnected.
-
Yup, trolling. It makes perfect sense to move to the USA when you're financially ruined. It also makes perfect sense to post that on youtube instead of an Amiga board.
A very poor attempt indeed :)
-
Yeah. I'm pretty sure its just BS. And Thorham you're absolutely right, it makes no sense to move to the US, me being a citizen here, the poor stay poor due to lack of proper medical care, the IRS being a hound that goes after people who make honest mistakes rather than those cheating them and of course the myriad of idiots that run the place.

maybe it makes no sense for u but the USA is/was the land of the oppotunities
where should RCK go? Africa?

Pack in the trolling, and maybe leave the slightly xenophobic sentiments alone as well eh?
-
Definitely not Africa, but its just the US isn't what its chocked up to be. We have no universal healthcare, we have high crime despite a high Concealed Carry ownership (look at cities like Dallas, Richmond) And our politicos are among the most retarded in the world. No, we are no better than Europe, and in some ways, Europe trumps us.

Hey, maybe not quite on topic but I saw a Vimeo clip (don't have the link handy) showing that Elvis is alive :elvis: yes I know, incredible! But it's true because I say so.

it is true not a joke eab is gone forever
it seems he posted the video yesterday but the link is broken it seems the video was removed I pasted the text from A1korg also everyone knows that RCK married a young ukrainian model 6 or 7 years ago
I heard that ppl warned him she was a gold digger but RCK was deeply in love
if you speak german visit a1k.org for more chimes
-
I already visited a1k.org and all they were saying is that it's holiday and they will fix it tomorrow, more or less:
http://www.a1k.org/forum/showthread.php?t=31433&highlight=eab+down
Thomas says for example: "It is a holiday, who should fix it? Have been waiting until Tuesday." (Google translation).
Edit: Oh, sorry I think you have to be registered. You can search it, it's called "Ist das EAB platt?" http://www.a1k.org/forum
Edit again: And I've been searching information here. Everytime I've opened this thread I find a lot of guest (now 4 members, 13 guest). Do you know what it means? There isn't another way to know what is happening, and trolling isn't the best idea.
-
Not sure if it's related but the day EAB went down they discovered how to make lead into gold and how to make diamonds in the lab.

Doesn't sound good, because they already know how to make diamonds, and they're better than the 'real' thing, too :(
To LaserBack:
Quit your ridiculous nonsense, because no one is buying it here. Should be obvious, because what you're saying makes no sense.
-
I think this is an opportunity to think about the Amiga comunity and our behaviour.
I'm very angry. It has been 3 days without knowing what is happening with EAB and the more normal thing is to search in another Amiga forum. I've searched in two of them (well, three). In the first they closed the thread saying
" OK, it's relevant to our interests that one of our fellow Amiga sites is currently offline, but we really don't need "still down" updates from everyone who tries! As for why they're offline, there are a number of reasons I can think of, but I wouldn't care to speculate. I'm sure we'll find out once they're back online.
As such, I'm closing this thread. I think its work has been done!"
No, I don't think that was done (IMHO).
... And here I'm glad that no moderator has closed this thread, but a trolling post can be worse.
-
but a trolling post can be worse.
Look on the bright side: No one believes that crap :)

, the poor stay poor due to lack of proper medical care, the IRS being a hound that goes after people who make honest mistakes rather than those cheating them and of course the myriad of idiots that run the place.
Isn't *THAT* the truth. I told the IRS about my previous employer not having us fill out W4s and I9s and apparently she hasn't for the past 8 years, for *ANY* of her employees. She didn't mail mine to me, had another current employee "sign" for it and then didn't even get my frakking name right on my w2. Their rebuttal:
"What do you want us to do about it?"
Seriously? This woman broke the law, by having someone else "sign" for my personal tax information (illegal), didn't mail it to me by Jan. 31st (illegal) and didn't have anyone fill out W4s and I9s at the start of employment (meaning, we're contract, but she took out taxes, which again, would be illegal).
She was just trying to cheat the system and they let her.....
[OT] - Has anyone stepped forward and asked for backups to reboot the forum? Just sayin'.....
-
I tried EAB all weekend as I had some Amithlon questions.
No luck.
Any idea what going on?
-
Well I was browsing and posting on before the weekend just fine, right up until the point where the EAB disappeared and all was left was a flashing red box telling me something about meditation.
-
I thought everyone knew that EAB runs on a large server farm of Amiga 1000's that are affected by the April Y2012K bug.

LOL! And here I thought that was just an AmigaOne XE board! ;)
(Somebody has to remember the April Fix Jokes, from years ago.....)
-
We'll wait and see. I think it is time to lock the thread until we receive confirmed information about the downtime and the reason.
-
you have already received confirmed information from multiple people. As in, unknown fault on the server and he will look into it on Tuesday. This has been verified by multiple people.

they are trolling there..also Thomas is from Germany he has nothing to do with EAB
also some trolls said EAB was closed by the FBI because the pirated stuff but it is not true
The problem is that RCK is not in france now due legal reasons
I was talking with Cyberdruid by phone and he told me RCK is a bit depressed but he is in London now and he is flying to the USA tomorrow....it seems his ex wife demanded him for a millionaire figure

Laserback, do us a favor and go take another hit of Acid. Once you reach enlightenment and you predict the end of the world, then people will take you seriously. This has to be the most far fetched story I've heard.

At least there's a placeholder on http://eab.abime.net/ now.
So the issue is being worked at.

LaserBack: You are such a jackass. EAB has hardware issues, nothing else.
Dont be sad just because you dont have access to correct information.
To everyone else. Just join the facebook side or our IRC channel for correct information!
And since TCD is a personal friend of mine, i can tell you all that this is 100% bull****!

I recommend laserback be banned. Whether or not his posts are considered funny, ironic, or just dumb, they are personal - making false, stupid remarks about someone and their life.
(edit: more importantly intentionally so - and trolling).

*note* I wanted to use much stronger language but then I would be a candidate too for banning ;-) but really. this is just so ridiculous.. and annoying.
-
Why some people (including some admids) blame against eab? eab is a great site with more amiga database knowledge than a.org or aworld together.
-
I don't even think that is the problem. I think most people here love EAB. this thread has ben derailed and f**ked with by a single person. who is no doubt mental in some way. It's this sort of "amiga user" that re-enforces my thought that amiga users are idiots.. I know you aint (you being whoever is reading this), but soooo many are..
Real Amiga users are not even me (and not 90% of the people here either really).. they are the ones like britelite (and others) who made me gawp at their absolutely incredible (imho - some might disagree), amiga 500 demo released at revision..
to purify the thread..

I agree with Buzz, that cock should be banned.

Agreed too.. I see Amiga users as smart since they got into everyday modern computering at an early age normally. So should be more advanced than beginners who start off on modern pcceeee's. but something strange with Amiga forums theres always some twitt causing issues.
