JustAdventure shut down?? (JA Updated, Not Shut Down) - 10/31/11 03:54 AM

Just tried to access the JA forum but got this error:
JA website error

Has JA been shut down/taken off line? If so, anyone know why?


Thanks in advance.

Nope, it came up for me.

I haven't been posting on JA for a couple of weeks - I couldn't have been banned, could I?

This is very strange - why can't I access the forums?

Is this strange thing only happening to me or are others affected likewise?

Probably I was banned b/c of the stories I create - except that I haven't posted any stories on JA recently.

Odd, I can't access it either now. Maybe the forums are just offline for a while.

That's it exactly, Guybrush! This is is the problem I'm having. So it's not me or anything I did. Mom keeps reminding me that when stuff like this happen, don't blame myself - it's someone else's fault, not mine.

Well, it's either a server Error, or they've kicked out all the boomers :-)

That's what I was thinking.

The website was down for maintenance when I tried to go there a few days ago. Apparantly they have had some attacks? on it as the admin Karla1 stated in a message from about a week ago.

Karla1 did also say that the website and the forum might be un-available for a while, as I recall. It seems to me that maybe they're doing a complete overhaul of the forum and the website?

I think it's my fault...just before it went down this time, I posted something to the extent that it was good to see that things had stabilized. Which was just asking for it, I know. frown

My last visit there (Sunday) showed a bunch of regular posters as ex-members (like CB). I figured they were still having issues.

I just tried and the site opened just fine for me. All the links work too.

Re: JustAdventure shut down?? - 11/01/11 06:18 PM

You can get to the site, but not the forum.

Re: JustAdventure shut down?? - 11/01/11 06:33 PM

I can go the main site also, but no luck getting into the forums.

Re: JustAdventure shut down?? - 11/01/11 07:08 PM

Yep - I see! What's odd is that Just Adventure site itself is OK - including the Jave - Reviews - their buy games link --- all of it... Just the forums seem to be down.

I am a network admin/engineer myself - and if a site gets pulled for maintenance or updates, it is usually posted as such i.e. "Site down for Maintenance" etc. Unless that site got attacked.

Hopefully, it will be "fixed" soon.

I wen to the JA site a couple of days ago, I think in the weekend? And the message was that the "site was down for maintenance for a few days, sorry for the inconvience".

I do also think that the reason for the maintenance was that the forums for some reasons got attacked, though I can't quite figure out why.

The forum is back up, let's hope the new look is just temporary.

I think they still have some work to do elsewhere as well. I paused on the main page to bring up a few walkthroughs and even on my fairly fast connection, it took an average of 22 seconds for the walkthroughs to load.

Just tried going on the JA forums - yep, they're back up, ok!

Re: JustAdventure shut down?? - 11/04/11 04:03 PM

Yes, JA forums is back up - as is their brand new splashing funky site smile It took me a little while getting used to the new design of it all....

In the meantime, I like that this site stays the same or nearly the same - and has done so over the years smile

Unfortunately I don't think it is.

Everything seems wrong when it first changes, but I am sure you'll all be used to it in no time.

OP needs to modify the title of this post immediately. The title alone is going to give someone a big fright!

When using a browser other than IE (9) it's actually not bad. Once they get the bugs out of the way, it'll do.

Thanks, OP, for changing the post title.

Does anyone have any info on who is the new proprietor at Just Adventure? I looked at their new site and read the intro posts about the new layout, but I did not see any info about the new owner and what is the intended new direction for the site.

Maybe you can post at JA forum and ask them. Thanks.
