Fake downtime that only applies to me?

[Chaosmasterdelta]

Since July I have been getting the "site is under maintenance" page whenever I try to get on the site, but apparently it was never down and I am just now able to get in again. Was the problem on my end?

The site was actually down from July to October. When's the last time you had checked here?

Oh yeah, it was. It was down for all of us. It was terrible. *shutters*

The site legitimately was down for maintenance from July - October, only opening up again i think around October 20th.
There is a moderation option in XenForo to "discourage" a user on the forums, causing multiple false-error messages to pop up during their browsing, but that isn't the case here

I check once every day so yesterday.

How often do you clear your cache?

I never clear my cookies or cache.

This is likely why. Not sure why your browser didn't automatically but it sounds like you were accessing an old cached version of the site.

Happened to me and a few other users I know. On the day the forums came back online, only the main page would display the maintenance notice. Ignoring the cache with CTRL+Shift+R fixed it (I use Chrome)

For the record, this is not a feature that staff use.

As tempting and Luffy-esque it is.

Call it a "Stealth Ban" but put the button to activate it under water so Luffy has to swim for it. >:3

I literally thought the same thing.

I was really paranoid. I thought I'd been kicked out.
