There was a configuration error fixed today.

And telling you in advance: This site will move to a different hosting service soon. More downtime is expected to come. I hope, I can make this ancient forum software work again at the new service.

Did that have something to do with the attempt to block hits coming from farcebook ?

As you prepare for that move, a status page, posted on a neutral site and kept reasonably close to up-to-date, would be very helpful. Among other details, the DNS update will not be synchronous, so a page on this forum may not always be available.

If it takes longer than expected (2 days?), I would post something at https://www.robertriebisch.de/
