Title: Mugen Free For All Website: is down right now. Check this topic for the latest
Post by: ☆★Anastasia☆★ on July 14, 2016, 07:49:35 pm
Hey guys. It has been such a long time since I last posted here. Well, I am back. Now, for some reason, the website called Mugen Free For All is not working for some reason and is anyone having the same problem, because I love this website and that other website too. Hope anyone can tell me what is happening and hope it doesn't go down soon.

I'm not sure what's going on.

At first, it seems working, but then navigating to a next page, the page gets an error like it's a temporally issue and everything else seem to be broken except the main page :/

Fraid not. The site is super laggy atm and I get random error messages when trying to open an area of the site in another tab or by clicking it.

Basically this applies to MFFA currently
(http://65.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lk2znfa56u1qj41h3o1_500.jpg)

one of the admins even said the forum is "frozen in time" during the archive thing

Caution, you'll probably be atatcked by other members because you're speaking of another forum here.
Just saying.
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: Darkflare on July 15, 2016, 11:02:51 am
Yea no, the difference is that this time the site doesn't work at all. When you posted about MFFA it was something that you could ask at their forum because it actually was working that time.

Stop being an idiot.
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: PlasmoidThunder on July 15, 2016, 12:18:59 pm
The site sometimes works, but when it does, it's very slow to do so.

Poor RobotMonkeyHead. He becomes the new owner of Mugen Free For All and gets nothing but problems :(
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: FirePony on July 15, 2016, 01:45:50 pm
You're the idiot, Darkflare.
It was sated before my post that the website was working partially, not completely off. A little bit like when I posted.
So it's the same. But here you didn't came with all your stupid stuff.
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: JustNoPoint on July 15, 2016, 02:53:33 pm
While Darkflare didn't have to incite you by calling you an idiot when it was obvious you're still upset over the old incident...

1. You really shouldn't hold on to that anger this long.

2. I stopped it by reminding the ones saying something that it was dumb to say something at all so even if they wanted to get mad in this situation they may remember I said not to do that

3. Why are you upset that no one is jumping into this user? You should be happy it's not happening because it can be seen as a sign that's not tolerated here. By bringing all of this back up here when it wasn't happening you sorta made it about you again and could ignite the same argument that had been resolved months ago
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: Banksy Boomboom on July 15, 2016, 03:25:56 pm
I hope they'll be back soon... the forum has been EXTREMELY slow for me over the past 36 hours
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: FirePony on July 15, 2016, 03:33:33 pm
All of your aguments are ok with me, JNP.
Well I'm not on "anger", as you can say. More an upset "at the moment".
I admit I couldn't resist to bitch here. Excuse me for this, I'll not do it again.

To be back on the topic, let's hope RobotMonkeyHead will be able to fix his issues!

Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: Алексей on July 15, 2016, 04:14:34 pm
At first it was due to messing around with archiving settings (for some reason). I still have no idea why. No one is saying anything. Now, it's just connectivity issues and server-side errors. My guess is that the forum software was attempted to be updated and done wrongly? It could be the host having issues itself as well. I have no idea. I'm told RMH is having some computer issues too, so he hasn't exactly been around recently.
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: PlasmoidThunder on July 15, 2016, 08:02:36 pm
Does it perhaps have something to do with how all images are now handled via some image proxy?
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: Sheriff Gadget on July 17, 2016, 06:40:27 pm
Because of the image proxy, images randomly disappear in collection threads.
In addition, one of my new collections got automatically locked minutes after I posted it for no reason.
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: Synck on July 17, 2016, 11:49:18 pm
So does anyone have the latest information about website problem. I still can't access there.
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: Jason Bourne on July 18, 2016, 01:31:34 am
Nobody knows which in itself does not bode well
My guess is the new owner is having computer issues as Алексей said
All we can do is wait
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: Sheriff Gadget on July 18, 2016, 01:35:49 pm
Many recent topics are being archived fore now. I do not know the reason why.
Although you can go to topics more easily, random errors still pop up, especially if you are editing or creating a topic.

Wait, more archiving issues are occurring? I was told they were fixed. I wonder if the settings were messed with again.

Last time I checked they were messed around with, as I cannot edit some of my collections.
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: ☆★Anastasia☆★ on July 18, 2016, 10:24:06 pm
I'm hoping all of the topics are not archived because I really want to look into the really old topics and reply back to them just in case if we are missing them in the future on.
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website

It could take some time for MFFA to get fully back, we just don't know when it will fully be back and running.

Yes, first we must wait until RMH returns and then I can talk to him about potential solutions and debugging this issue. He might know something we don't.

Post by: JustNoPoint on July 19, 2016, 10:24:45 pm
Worst case scenario is that users could make the collections threads here. If it gets popular enough it can get its own board(s). 

Did it have anything else unique?
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: Big Meme on July 19, 2016, 11:48:28 pm
All my yes.

Although doesn't Basara have his database?
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: Basara Lapis on July 19, 2016, 11:58:53 pm
Yes, I got some collections there (Samurai Shodown, Megaman Classic & X, Buriki One, KOF Strikers and one dedicated to Cerenas), it would be a pity if MFFA wouldn't come back, I hope Ryon, Ricepigeon and the other admins can solve this :(
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: PlasmoidThunder on July 20, 2016, 01:52:35 am
Ryon doesn't apparently do anything with the site anymore and RicePigeon is a Global Mod, so he can't do anything.

As Alexei has said, it's kinda up to RobotMonkeyHead now.
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: Алексей on July 20, 2016, 02:07:53 am
I'm requesting elevated admin privileges there so I can take a look at the error logs and take a look at what's happening. From the information I've gathered thus far, this slowdown was caused due to the site being archived to the same database it uses, effectively doubling its size and ruining the optimization of the site. Queries are so slow that it bottlenecks the site and errors out. I have a feeling that's what I'll be seeing when I'm able to take a look at these logs.

Better yet, why not have a whole website with collection threads?

However, I just hope that MFFA gets fixed.

Seriously, I am waiting because I want to announce a new edit here and I prefer creating a new thread in this forum without the slowdown bug.

I assume it'd be more active if it's already integrated into an active forum.

Members that liked it would already have access. Members that didn't care could collapse the section. Was it just 1 board? I didn't look at it enough to pay attention :p
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: Laharl on July 20, 2016, 03:42:10 am
basically our new admin has his pc in the shop for repairs and it just so happens the site goes down at the same time. It shall be fixed. surprising you say its just 1 board when you and I chatted in the chat on there a few times and we even tried to help with archiving mugenchina with you remember?
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website

Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: Laharl on July 20, 2016, 07:30:34 am
it was quite awhile ago that much is true. Still we had more than just one board or rather DO have one once its fixed. We do have our own community over there and to sum it up as one board is really underestimating it. No worries though I'm not mad just saying.

Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: JustNoPoint on July 20, 2016, 05:38:24 pm
The only thing rude I can see that I said was that I'd basically steal MFFA's collection board(s) if people wanted us to do so.

If you read what I said as thinking the whole forum was just 1 board that was in no way my intent as I meant JUST the collection area. I haven't been there for a while and didn't remember. I like MFFA and have an account there. My upcoming releases will be posted there and here. I'm just not a multi forum person for some reason. I pick 1 and hang there.

That information isn't given to us and since Ryon doesn't own the site anymore, he can't be the immediate point of contact anymore for this stuff.

Other than timeouts and database errors, the actual data is intact. I'm going to try to get ahold of RMH somehow, but also know that I wouldn't be able to contact IPS Board for help because I'm not the the owner. I'd have no verification or anything, and I'm the only other active admin. Phantom retired his position and Ryon doesn't have much involvement anymore. It truly is a waiting game.
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: Demitri on July 20, 2016, 06:29:21 pm
Oh I see, quite the situation it seems. IDK why I thought that was a viable option since I know how that part of things works.
I'm sure it'll get sorted out in time though. AS you said, it's a waiting game

This is what I got when I tried to log into Mugen Free For All. Can they fix this website already?

Let's put it this way:
In terms of staff and qualifications, you've got one web developer who doesn't have access to the server (me)... and someone fixing it who has no knowledge of networking or web development in the slightest (Ryon). RMH is away, and everyone else isn't qualified or have that level of rank in the staff. See the problem here?

That's not bash Ryon in any way whatsoever, keep in my mind. I'm just saying, he's going it alone with handling the site's issues. Give him a break guys.

I agree that we should put this problem off for a while. The site won't get fixed until at least a couple of weeks, so be patient. But, in case, we could put collection topics over here so that it can be somewhat identical to MFFA.

I totally agree with you Sheriff Gadget. They should make MugenGuild somewhat similar to MFFA.

That's not as easy as one would think, MFFA using html layout while MFG using bbcode; you have to manually reformat them and that's one tedious job to do, seeing as one collection thread usually has a lot of images and links.

Isn't it a bit early to dig a grave? Let's give mffa a chance to make a comeback.
Sites have recovered from bigger issues you know.

Having server access allows to duplicate the site elsewhere. You should understand that this is not something you can grant to anybody. Besides Ryon is not the owner anymore and the actual owner may disagree.

No. If all forums are the same, then what's the point in multiple forums?

As it's been said before, be patient. MFFA will be back sooner or later.

Duplicating the site should be the least of anyone's security worries. Either way, I'm not a nobody to Ryon. He personally asked me to be an admin there. We've been friends for a long time now and he would trust me with such a thing. It's just that RMH has been away that's causing issues. Ryon doesn't have that level of access anymore either and is doing what he can. He does have permissions above the rest of the admins though since he was the original site owner.

Edit: I also noticed I didn't had an error message, for the moment.

It probably feels like it's resolved, but I believe they are still working on the website because it loads fast and slow both at the same time. Sometimes, it loads pages and sometimes it doesn't load and I tried over there so you're not the only one. We just need to be patient until MFFA is running smoothly once again.

Just take a break from it and come back later when it's back online properly. Try weekly or something.

It's been under maintenance for 20 days it seems, unless they pay for a maintenance plan/employees with guaranteed 99+% uptime, then the site having a struggle for month isn't really a big deal to be honest.. unless you're paying for their service.. then shit needs to hit the fan!

Ok I tried to post this a few days ago, but it obviously didn't work.
 
Holy Shit, I am so sorry to everyone for the problems that have been going on with the site.
 
Here's what happened and what's happening now,
 
- I tried to resolve an issue some users where having by tweaking some of the archiving settings.  This backfired in the worst possible way, and caused all sorts of problems.
 
- By shear coincidence, my computer decided to shit the bed completely the second I adjusted those settings.  The waiting mouse cursor appeared and never stopped.  I tried rebooting in safe mode, only to find the hard drive had completely failed.
 
- By another shear and awful coincidence, my girlfriends computer started getting hacked relentlessley about 2 weeks before this happened.  Her gmail, yahoo and facebook password keep getting changed.  In effect, I'm extremely wary of using her computer for anything administrative because I don't want to compromise forum security.
 
-  So I take my busted computer to the shop, which is normally very quick, and it winds up taking them about 2 weeks to clone the thing.  They kept
telling me it was going to be another day or 2 but they kept running into problems, both with the drive and with their own internal communications.
 
- During this time period Ryon was able to restore the cp settings to a previous state, which brought us from not working at all, to working but slowly.
 
- We were also able to get him into the bluehost server account and the ips account, but tech supprt has not been effective yet.
 
- When I got my computer back, however, the cloning proccess had only partially worked, and most of the data was corrupted.  So I sent it out to a specialist who has it right now, and is charging me a fucking exorbitent amount of money to repair it.  They should be done by wed.
 
- I asked the shop to check for signs of tampering, hacking etc, and they said they saw nothing that would indicate it.  So our forum security should be fine.  However I am still extremely hesitant to use my gfs computer for any of this stuff, seeing how many times her info's been hacked in the last 3 or 4 weeks.  I absolutely do not want to compromise anyone's security here.
 
- Once my computer comes back, I'm going to completely dive into into contact with tech support while I learn to adjust all the settings of the site personally.  I will make sure this shit is running smoothly by the time I'm done, if not faster than before.
 
This is not exactly the grand re-opening any of us was hoping for.  We actually have a couple of really fun surprises up our sleeves for the sute that we were getting ready before all this stuff went down.  Once we get these issue's get resolved, we'll start revealing what exactly those surprises are...
All I can say in the meantime is I think everyone's really going to enjoy them :)  Thank you to everyone who's stuck with us through all this, we will get it resolved soon.  To anyone who's feeling the need to take a break from the forum due to the issues, please please please check back in a week or two, and by then everything should be working just fine.
 
Again my sincerest apologies to everyone for having to deal with the slow down.  It's in no way permanent.  Any questions or even suggestions any
one has in the meantime are more than welcome.

A reasonable explanation for his absence.

Just to confirm for you guys, it was not maintenance. It was a hack, but a really amateurish one regarding youtubers/twitter users that no one knows or gives two shits about.

I've been getting alot of PMs asking about this, and all I can say is that the rest of the staff, including myself, Alexei, and Laharl, are just in the dark about this situation as you guys are. We have no idea what's going on either, and we've had no luck trying to contact RMH about this.

What I DO know about this is that just prior to the site going offline, RMH was working on updating the forum software, which caused the forums to temporarily go offline the day before this all started.

wow that is insane haha. but we all learn are mistake time to time we are only human after all haha..hope things get better  :)

but for future plans I feel that you guys should have a second person and 3rd person that can have control of the website and keep it maintain and so if something happen or something goes wrong and also you cant get of hold of RMH. at least one of you guys have control the forums and keep the website stable and keep it running. If anything bad happen Im just saying in my own opinion :D

Post by: PlasmoidThunder on October 29, 2016, 12:27:01 pm
Well he's not technically wrong. Losing MFFA means there's one less place to communicate with other members of the MUGEN community, so while interaction wouldn't completely die, it would still be reduced.

But as it's already been established, the only users who can deal with this issue are currently unavailable, so MFFA may continue to be offline for a small while.

If I understand the situation correctly, RMH is waiting until Bluehost creates a backup of the latest changes in the database containing all recent changes and with as least data as possible lost, including posts, chats, etc. I can't say for sure how long that will take or how often Bluehost is configured to create backups, but that's the current state of things. The site could be brought back up very soon, but a lot of data would go with it, hence the wait. I'm not going to go into specifics, but it was a DoS attack of some kind, be it distributed or otherwise. Unfortunately, I'm not getting this info directly from the source because successful contact with RMH has been scarce at best.

Post by: Niitris on November 02, 2016, 11:06:20 pm
Maybe they're connected to Mugen Archive.

Too far someone said? They've given no reason for anyone to respect their integrity. If they weren't being shitheads, I wouldn't be such a cynic and throw out the possibility.

Anyways if DoS attacks are the problem, I'd recommend some kind of mitigation service.

Oh wow

(http://i.imgur.com/HkZtbBL.png)
Someone posted this in MMVs chat way back when weegee returned and did some shit(A month or 2 ago?I remember someone someone mentioned that he is on MMV now so I went there and saw this)
Same guy also made threats about MFG soon after(something about getting his friend to ddos us),which made me think it might be Weegee being angry for being banned again,but I don't know the man nor his posting style so I can't be sure
Granted this is a generic name for that chat so it could've been anyone posting it
Title: Re: Mugen Free For All Website
Post by: Synck on November 02, 2016, 11:50:19 pm
I'm totally sure that weegee is not a threat to our community, he's just an asshole who wants attention (but he fails at that).
I guess it would be better tho migrate MFFA to other server just to skip those ddos attacks, or hope that RMH is going to bring back MFFA back in other way.
As Aleksei said, the site should be running really soon, so we should stay calm and be patient.

I agree with you man . we don't need people to start pointing finger at other forum.. we dont want that here. So many other things we can spend are time by killing the time by watching movie, playing video games. make mugen stuff, or make request here at mugen fighter guild's request section, and just relax and enjoy any new download content that MFG has to offer for everyone mugen craving

Going to leave this here on behalf of both Ryon and RMH, the latter of whom can't access MFG on account of his ban;

Quote
IF THE SITE GOES DOWN, PLEASE DON'T CONTACT RYON

I know the forums been through some rough stuff in the past couple months, with all the downtime between sorting out our hosting situation and trying to deal with the recent database issues.  And I know it sucks when it's down, but if we do have anymore downtime in the future please please please stop contacting Ryon and asking him what's going on! 

He doesn't run the site anymore, and he doesn't have or want access to any of the accounts necessary to fix it. 
With a bunch of people contacting him, he has to explain that a million times, which is a bit much.

Instead, please contact me directly on Discord.  My Discord Tag is:  [REDACTED]
Accounts are free and easy to set up,  Just click Add Friend and copy my discord tag and paste it in the box that appears. 
Feel free to hit me up on there any time.  I'll be happy to keep everyone up to date on the repair progress. 
I have an MFFA server there that I can just add everyone to.

We also have a staff chat on Discord too now, so we'll be able to keep everyone up to date on Guild in the future as well. 
Thanks for understanding.

http://mugenfreeforall.com/index.php?/announcement/26-if-the-site-goes-down-please-dont-contact-ryon/

TLDR; In the future, stop spamming Ryon with PMs about MFFA going offline. He no longer has access to the site, nor does he want anything to do with the site anymore.

Post by: Ricepigeon on December 27, 2017, 01:37:26 am
Update from RMH:

Quote
Alright so it looks like the site is suspended for a terms of service voilation:  malware/ virus. Apparently the site's been hacked. A few of our php configuration files have been infected.  I got the list of infected files, and I'm currently downloading backups of those files to restore them (not the entire site) to a few days ago... we're going to be down for what looks like another day or 2.

He's already contacted two professionals who can get the job done within the next few days, but I wont post the logs for those since it contains financial information that I'm not really at liberty to disclose.

No word yet on whether or not personal info/passwords have been compromised, but I'll keep you guys updated if I hear anything else.

Minor update from RMH regarding the possibility of passwords being compromised:

Quote
We don't know the depth of the hack yet, hopefully by the time we're done cleaning inspecting we'll be able to tell by the code injected what could've been accessed.

If you want my personal opinion, I would err on the side of caution and change any passwords just in case any of MFFA's account passwords did get compromised in the attack. Even if it turns out nothing happened, it's still better to be safe than sorry.

Because I know people are going to ask, Wew lad, where do I start?

Turns out MFFA was suspended due to a TOS violation. The violation in question? The collection threads, namely the Touhou & Pokemon collections, were eating up too much bandwidth, so Bluehost shut us down. I can't go into full detail yet, but hopefully that will shed some light as to what's been going on with the site lately.

Update: Site is unsuspended, but we're keeping it offline for now until we can determine exactly why the collection threads are causing excessive CPU usage and what can be done to resolve that issue. As of right now, only admins & gmods have access to the site.

Out of curiosity, could you can tell me if the collection has either of my Pikachu in it? I will be surprised of people are still interested in them because I get the feeling they were not very popular.

So a bit of good news;

At another admin's suggestion, we've set up a Cloudflare CDN and are currently in the process of integrating it into the site. This will hopefully circumvent the bandwidth issue we're currently having with the collection threads. If all goes well, we should be back online in about 24 hours.

Post by: Ricepigeon on June 28, 2018, 10:07:22 pm
Because people have a tendency to flock here when MFFA goes down unexpectedly, this is basically a heads up that we're expecting the forum to go offline temporarily some time within the next 72 hours:

Quote

The forum may go offline for a couple hours at some point in the next 3 days.
This is due to us having found a new host, as the logout bug stemmed unavoidably from Bluehost's caching system, which can not be reliably disabled.

We tried everything we could to fix it and every road lead there.  Including this final one, which involved hiring a tech.  After having a look at it, his conclusion was the same.

The migration should occur within the next 3 days, and if everything goes according to plan it should be seamless.  But on the off chance that we Do end up having to take the forum offline momentarily to complete the process, I just wanted everyone to be aware that it's a possibility.

http://mugenfreeforall.com/announcement/47-forum-may-go-offline-temporarily-sometime-in-the-next-72-hours/

Could be any number of reasons. My account was suspended earlier this year for a bit too. Because of a potential breach in security due to wordpress. Some years back there was a data leak due to Insanius making a coding mistake on his site and it was filling my server space up too much.

In short, suspended could just be a temporary thing and everything might be fine. No reason to panic till something is confirmed.

Guys, just be patient. It’s a frequent reoccurrence. It’s probably something minor, so just find something to occupy your time with until they get the site back up and running. No need to get bent out of shape.

I have to agree. That's why i'm not rly surprised. They go down constantly so it's not rly a shocker anymore. It's just something i expect to happen every once in a while tbh.

With that kind of attitude, you're liable to make enemies pretty quick in the MUGEN community and by then, nobody will be willing to help you. Have you at least made an effort to make a request thread or asked if said creation exist in the "Does this thing exist" thread? It'll probably take sometime before someone replies to you, but I'm sure someone is willing to help.

Apparently our host decided to move our server.  As soon as they're finished with that process we will be back online
My apologies for the downtime, but it does not seem to have been something preventable.
Once our server is moved they will have us back online.
Whenever that is, I'll post an announcement.

Hopefully we should be back up and running by the end of the week

Just to give everyone an update on the server situation, it turns out that the forum's database got corrupted during the move. Unfortunately, the most recent forum backup on zFast's side is from August, so expect a rollback to occur when our site comes back online. We are currently working with zFast to see if it is possible to restore a more recent backup of the site. We will keep everyone updated on this situation if anything changes.

Sorry for the lack of updates, as there wasn't much to report. We have good news and bad news, mostly bad, so here it is...

The good:
MFFA is finally back... sorta.

The bad:
Part of the delay was due to the fact that we've spent the last week or two trying to restore as much data from the site as possible. Our host initially informed us that their latest backup of the site was from August, so RMH and an outside technician have been trying to manually extract as much information as they could from the corrupted database in order to bring the site as up-to-date as possible. Unfortunately, these efforts, all three of them, failed... at which point we had no choice but to go with zFast's backup.

If that wasn't bad enough, our host later informed us that the "August" backup that they have for our site was, in fact, something unrelated to forum backups, and that the most recent forum backup was actually from July. Just to clarify, the August backup was actually an unused board feature that was never fully implemented, which dates back to August. Of course, just by visiting the site now, you can tell that the CSS isn't loading properly either, so we still have work to do.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, we're continuing to evaluate what options are available in regards to bringing the forums back to a more recent state.


Edit: The CSS is now fixed, and we're currently restoring everything from the site's upload folder, which can take up to an hour to complete. We've decided to keep the site locked to everyone until this process is complete, at which point we will reopen the forums.

then reflect on that, try to think about what you're saying and the context of the situation happening before posting because that will help alot.

you have to keep in mind keeping a site alive after what just happened to them is pretty tedious and is probably pretty stressful. you should appreciate the fact the site can still function at all.

You both are more or less right, while I CAN put thought in my posts, it isn't the first thing that comes to mind, that and I have a hard time seeing how I say (or type) certain things. I would appreciate it if you don't associate me with my disability.

See, I have high functioning autism myself. I know better then to act like an impatient little twat like Bookworm is doing. That website being down is not a matter of life or death for me... it's just a website. They're doing everything they can to get it back up (BTW, thanks for the update Rice)

So, be patient and stop using autism as an excuse for being an impatient little twat. Got it?

And we're down again... Posting this on behalf of RMH just so everyone is up to date on the situation:

Quote
So here's the current update ~ When the site first went up, some of the nav-bar icons were missing.  So I try to uninstall and re-install the app that creates them.  Normal routine operation, nothing like it has ever caused a problem in the past.  On the uninstall, the site crashes, and we get the php error.  This is while the dev board and the main site are still on the same db.

So it takes about 2 days, but we get a db clone made and uploaded, and get the dev board hooked up to 1 db, and the main site hooked up to the other.  Finally.  And the 2 db's are identical, both complete with broken nav-bars.  So on the dev board I test out reinstalling the app.  Works fine, no problems, nav bar is fixed (still missing some icons, but whatever at least it works).  Try the same process on the main site and it crashes again, throwing the same php error as before.

Meanwhile, throughout this thing, zfast keep getting us back up on line while I'm at work, so we end up being open for like 2 hours, and then I come and have to take us off line again until I'm sure everythings working right.  So we keep blinking in and out of existence, which is probably driving the members nuts.

So that's the state of things. I'm currently restoring the main db.  Again.  But now I'm afraid to even touch anything, because apparently things will work on the dev board but not the main site.

I have to keep trying tho, until we get this all sorted out.  Which we will eventually, even if that means hiring somebody again. At this rate, you can all probably count on a veritable labyrinth of walls-of-text coming from me until it's done.  Aside from general transparency, I'm trying to keep you all totally in the loop in case anyone has any helpful insights.

We've been trying to restore to a stable state ever since.

Big update

Quote
Good news!!!  The database restoration process worked!  We're not going to loose 2 months worth of data.

Unfortunately anything that was posted for those couple days we WERE up is going to be lost.  A small sacrifice by comparison.

The site was momentarily online today, which was an inevitable  part of the restoration process.  It's now been put in offline mode, (such a tease, I know) while we work out the rest of the details, but everything should be fully functional within the next day or 2.  We're just waiting on the host to upload the proper database.
It won't be long now...

We didn't want to spoil anything ahead of time just in case we failed again, but we basically tried a fourth and final attempt to restore the corrupted data from the database and were successful this time around, hence why the site was offline for as long as it was. Of course, there were other issues we encountered along the way which delayed us further, but the important news is we don't have to do any rollbacks to mid-July.

I think the MA skin change from past AF made the hosting collapse :pfht: (yes, here made an announcement thread, there they changed the whole forum into MA, that was extreme XD)

Seriously, I hope the problem will be solved soon, I summon @Ricepigeon: to tell us what's going on :o

So we spoke with zFast. While I can't release the full details yet, I can say that we suspect it may have been due to one of our forum plugins conflicting with a forum software upgrade we had a few weeks ago, but we're currently asking our host for the details of the site's traffic during the time this happened just to rule out any other possibility.

Should look into some new hosts, man. Or just bite the bullet and pay for heavy storage space on a free forum. I don't pay anymore than 30 bucks a month and that's with minimal storage space, domain, ad removal and customized ads/newsletters among other things. It's not nearly as free to customization as y'alls, but having no issues is a plus. Been around 10 years without 1 host issue.
Title: Mugen Free For All has been DDoS'ed
Post by: Ricepigeon on April 05, 2019, 05:13:15 am
Okay, I'm now at full liberty to disclose what happened.

There was no plugin issue. There was no hosting issue. We were DDoS'ed. We confirmed it with zFast. At around the exact same time the site went offline, we received 2 threatening messages from Mugen Archive: one to the site, and one directly to RMH. This is the message we received shortly before the site went offline:

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/251210395249934336/563041636813373460/Screen_Shot_2019-04-03_at_12.45.29_PM.png)

This, along with the information we received from our host, more or less confirms our suspicions: our site was attacked in retaliation for our April Fools joke.

We've already requested the IP addresses and ISPs of the traffic involved in the attack from zFast and we will be contacting their provider. While I don't want to say we will be taking any legal action, that option is not completely off the table.

How in the hell did it evolve to this from something as simple as an adfly complaint? Dizzy is messed in the head...

Tl;dr: they had a rotating banner at the top of their site for AF, with the caption "haters gonna hate". One of the banners was this lovely image:

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/345971871210143755/562361609151053826/unknown.png)

A few people on the MA forums actually brought it up to Dizzy thinking it was going too far, to which he gave this response:

Just to be on the safe side, we decided to run two different malware scans to make sure no malicious code was injected and both came out negative. We're still in the process of getting the site back up and running, but we're also implementing a few new measures to prevent such an attack from occurring again.

Edit: And we're back online.

NEW PLAN OF ATTACK: "Sponsored by Paste-ables™"
We must all register throwaway accounts on the MUGEN Archive, and once you're in, create a new thread, copy the below text, and paste it into that thread.

Fuck this shithole of a website! First of all, you admins are a bunch of filthy, degenerate plebs! Seriously, how have you not realized that what you are doing is stupid, disgraceful, and just, in general moronic?
Second, Why the fuck are the download size limits there? They're stupid, unreasonable, and they take away whatever fun was left here!
Third, your stupid DDoS-ings never accomplish anything, except for making everyone hate on this shithole of a website even more!
Fourth, You take down people's content when they don't contribute, which is pretty hypocritical once you realize that this is supposed to be "the cure for error 404".
All in all, this website is a complete shithole, and you moronic, birdbrained admins never realized it!
how was this even allowed to last for 10 years?!

This is going in the history books...

Wanna get in on the action? Just copy the above text, and paste it into your post.

MFFA is back online. We're still looking into what caused the outage, and will post it here as soon as we can.

Inb4 it's due to the Pokemon and Touhou collections once again.

That wouldn't surprise me. Nintendo has the weirdest hate boner for fan works.

DMCA's and Cease and Desist orders for everyone!

Yup, MFFA is still down. Even if it comes back online, it'll only be for a short while.

It'll keep happening until the root of the issue is resolved.

 It's all Cirno's fault for running the forum this time. I knew the Cirno Day invasion ending coincidentally before this crash happened was fishy. Remember, never let a baka run your forum.

Like, not to be a dick, but who even plays Touhou anymore, or at all? All I know is that there was a bunch of YTPMV memes about the music. Claiming you like Touhou is like saying you read the Animorphs books, when in reality all you did was stare at the covers for an hour.

 Imagine someone who contributes to and participates in nothing but whining saying this ironically? Self-entitled ignorance if there ever was.

Kinda scary if you ask me.

Guild has their own servers/hosting so it's not quite as easy to take down.

Well I have good news and bad news.

Good news is, we sorta know what caused our site to go offline. The host server was experiencing excessive CPU usage, which basically caused our hosting to discontinue.

Bad news is, we don't know what the bigger issue was that caused this to happen in the first place. Our host wants us to run scans on our server for possible malware just to be on the safe side. Our site is back online temporarily for now as we conduct these scans, but expect MFFA to intermittently go offline during this time. We'll let everyone know what, if anything, we find once this is done.

Post by: Ricepigeon on September 12, 2019, 10:25:35 pm
Update: Malware scans came back negative. We suspect that the increased CPU usage was due to several files being out of date, which we're working on. We've also enabled disk caching to help relieve the issue.

Post by: vgma2 on September 13, 2019, 09:23:33 am
Being unfamiliar with website architecture, could someone explain how out of date files could increase CPU usage?  Is that a result of attempting to run/load poor & outdated data?  Or does that cause some kind of conflict between other files and somehow puts a burden on performance?

Tldr; we were getting several error logs in our admin control panel stating "We could not locate the item you are trying to view.", with each one coming from varying page links. After looking into it, some of the broken pages were throwing a CSRF protection key related error, which apparently indicates that the forum themes & a few other files might be out of date. There were also some php errors being thrown as well, which only contributed to the problem.

Just to inform you guys that the site is down again. I guess it's because RobotMonkeyHead recently announced some changes in the site.
I hope that nothing serious happend on MFFA again.

This is to inform everyone that within the past 24 hours, several MFFA forum accounts have been locked due to a potential phishing attempt. While we have no evidence to suggest that any accounts were compromised, we strongly suggest changing your password to something secure. If your forum account has been locked for any reason, please notify a MFFA staff member ASAP.
