The CastBoolits Forum seems to be incurring some DATABASE
INTERNET ISSUES and is presently UNREACHABLE.
Does anyone have any INFO concerning this?

I've had the same problem . . . nada. I figured they might be working on the site - glad I stopped over here and saw this so I know it's not "just me" that's having computer problems . . . .
Thanks for the post - appreciated!

I just hope the issues are not ANTI FIREARMS HACKERS, causing problems.

The site is reporting they are having SERVER ISSUES,
AND ARE WORKING ON IT.
Mischevious HACKERS exist, Worldwide, some are even Anti-Firearm,
imagine that.

you guys that think hackers are involved have a wonderful imagination.
Cast Boolits is likely on some super cheep shared server running open source **** for the backend database as well as the front end forum package.
All that open source **** has no real line of support if something goes wrong and updates and problems don't get resolved until computer bubba gets around to making a fix in his mothers basement in Romania.
So my guess is the report of failed updates taking down the server makes sense after it would had to have been patched for the heartbleed open ssl vulnerability.
but then all that isn't as much fun as believing the story about anti gun hackers.
of course parts of the database could have become corrupted and need to be restored with the database taken offline.
or just an overloaded server

I heard that Jack Bauer himself came to their aid! Just in time too.

I have a lot of respect for folks who spend a ton of their own time and money to provide and maintain a forum FREE OF CHARGE for similar like-minded hobbyists.
Perhaps if folks could lend some of their obviously professional computer skills to help keep unfunded websites operating instead of making fun of them, there would be fewer annoyances?

To be clear I was in no way making fun of the folks who maintain the cast boolits forum.
My shots were at where the hosting industry is in a much broader sense.
My apologies to any of the good folks at cast boolits if they interpreted my post as directed at them in any way.

Wait until some restaurant "asks" customers to not open carry long guns into the stores. The sky will come crashing down.

THIS THREAD WAS STARTED OVER 6 MONTHS AGO! I'm fairly sure they worked out the problems that were interfering with the service back then, really!
