What happened? lainchan / r ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Roger Pollack · 2026-02-21 17:04 Anyone know why the site went down for a couple days? I was baking a thread and got worried the place died. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bobby Newmark · 2026-02-21 17:21 >>48402 no idea lol, hopefully death wont come for another hundred years ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trinity · 2026-02-21 17:27 Don't know either. I saw someone say it could be a DDOS attack. I found out when I tried to login to the IRC, and my client was showing an error ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Pulse · 2026-02-21 17:30 >>48404 I tried checking /news/ and the IRC before making a thread and it was just me in the IRC lobby. To be fair I used the web client /irc/ links to. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Hilger · 2026-02-23 07:41 https://cy-x.net/topic/lainchan-is-down/722 apparently hosting provider fuarrrked up and accidentally suspended lainchan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Emmanuel · 2026-02-23 07:51 god just pull the fuarrrking plug already ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Undisclosed · 2026-02-23 12:44 >>48402 I can't access lainchan unless I use tor, maybe has to do with the outage? It just doesn't load and stays in a blank page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik Johansson · 2026-02-23 12:47 >>48427 Can I get the TOR link? I was trying to find it while lainchan was down but couldn't ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Lord Nikon · 2026-02-23 13:18 >>48402 >i was worried too. just an update this place still lives lol ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sabo Engle · 2026-02-23 14:22 >>48428 lainchan doesn't have a hidden service .onion ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cutter · 2026-02-25 00:03 Its odd how mine and even the a local stores internet acted up at the same time also some other sites. I dont know what is going on but i dont feel like its a coincidence. At first i blamed it on my soykaf mobile internet which is as slow as 56k, but this is just too odd of a time. Also im so dependent on this place, i have nowhere else to go and am pretty helpless without it, its disturbing, im so glad its back even if only for a few minutes a day. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Agent Jones · 2026-02-25 20:53 Someone, we don't know who, ddos'd the site for a few days at the same time ramnode seemed to do a scheduled update. I'll leave it up to you to imagine what's happening ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Crash Override · 2026-02-27 04:32 It's still unreachable for me but only over IPv4 - hit GlobalSecureLayer and get no further. IPv6 works just fine. Has Appleman decided we're living in the future, or does the server just need a kick? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dozer · 2026-02-28 09:36 I get warnings about HTTPS being unsupported on Lainchan now, they block page load. Weird oldish FF. Don't believe it's my browser though and while it could be a server / load balancer config issue, it's new so it could be a MitM artefact. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cowboy · 2026-02-28 23:12 >>48484 (bit shift flip flop) Not one post was made on this site in the meantime; liminal "sage" attained? Take it easy channizens. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wintermute · 2026-03-03 08:12 i still can't access this place through a good browser like links what go on ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ivan Petrov · 2026-03-07 03:54 >>48441 Schizophrenia is when nothing's a coincidence so surely it must mean something. I've got a reflective skull too. I bet you've got schizophrenia and your emitted thoughts bounce back at you being interpreted as external stimuli. For others: keep a paranoid schizo around like a canary, makes a lot of noise but can save your life. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BosnaMan · 2026-03-07 12:25 Just to add my bit - I can only access the site on my phone via mobile data, other networks time out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bobby Newmark · 2026-03-08 04:09 >>48555 This website is only working via IPv6. It's probably that your carrier supports IPv6 but not your ISP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick Deckard · 2026-03-08 06:55 >>48555 >>48559 If you want to connect from home or another IPv4-only network, you can use Tor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Drano · 2026-03-09 00:26 The oddest part about all of this is the lack of any response from the site team. What are they hiding? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BosnaMan · 2026-03-09 06:19 >>48559 >>48560 You are right that I dont have an IPv6 address at home, but I'm connected from IPv4 network right now. I suppose there's some work being done on the site. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John Doe · 2026-03-09 10:00 >>48568 site has been turning into 4chan since the instability began, coincidence? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Demeere · 2026-03-09 13:21 >>48568 What about asking /q/? >>48574 What kind of work? Polishing? At the moment I don't know, but in the meantime, you can use this link: https://uptime.com/freetools/global-uptime-test/2755332/lainchan.org This is a very handy link if you want to keep track of any time-out connection errors, and somehow, Lainchan miraculously works the next day after I access from Uptime, but only for a day - then next day, I get time-out connection errors. I mean, how strange is this error? It's like the heavy fog outside my house... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John Titor · 2026-03-09 17:09 >>48578 >ask /q/? You know damn well that 99 out of the 100 mods of this site (90% of total users) are watching this very thread. If the site team wants to release any info, they will make a thread on their own, or even reply here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Guthrie · 2026-03-09 17:13 I noticed a number of websites their HTTPS stopped working but if they had HTTP it was still working. I suspect it was a bad server update somewhere. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick Deckard · 2026-03-09 23:25 what does it mean if your posting leads to "please make a better post"? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Unspecified · 2026-03-10 03:12 I still can't access the site from Chrome or Brave, only Tor works. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- William Holtzer · 2026-03-16 11:42 22chan went down at around a similar time and still isn't up yet. A few other altchans also seem to have disappeared. I wonder what's going on with the service providers to start knocking this stuff offline? >>48580 This is a good theory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Apoc · 2026-03-16 11:53 i actually hope they pull off the plug because the site has been with us unfortunately since for a decade
