Dear Nairalanders and rs.

Nairaland's server was taken down by our host's abuse team because of an abuse report that wasn't attended to on time.

After rectifying the error, we brought the server back for a few minutes, but they decided to take the server down again. Since then, we haven't heard from the abuse team, yet the team keeps insisting that only the abuse team can help us.

So we had to transfer Nairaland to a temporary host in order to bring it back to you. A VERY time-consuming process. We are not fully back, even though most features of the site are working. We still have a long way to go. Additional downtime is likely; don't let it alarm you.

There's a lot more to say, but I have to go back to work to ensure that our return is permanent. Please forgive us for the stress we caused. We appreciate the love and that you showed us during the ordeal. Nairaland is too important for us to let this happen again.

Best Regards,
Seun Osewa.

All duly noted

Hopefully when all is totally well, you will put measures in place to ensure this doesn't happen again.

It is well

I have been trying the website almost hour upon an hour since the outrage. Lucky for me it goes through like magic this time around. good to hear. one malt for everyone here

Hope you have learnt your lesson

Please, this should not happen again.

Forum should learn civility and avoid ethnic profiling and "cuss" words.
Mods should be up and doing, ensuring the Forum is sanitized.
Bots or algorithms should be deployed to take down offensive posts ASAP.
Management should run business continuity tests periodically and have contingency plans in place

I know how many times I have refreshed this site in the last 3 days.

Thank God it's back now.

My favorite page

We are in this together... Goodluck

Long live Nairaland

Good work

Don't thank him. He's a learner. He should host this site on a private server. Imagine how cloudflare is dragging his blokkos on top an abuse he overlooked? https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/nairalands-server-taken-down-because-i-overlooked-an-abuse-report-says-founder/%3famp
Does cloudflare know how many mad people we are caring for on this site?
Putin or Kim Jung Un can't manage nairaland
It's extremely crazy here!

Greetings Seun
Creating your own host could be a really smart long-term solution, especially if it means you have more control and security over the server and Nairaland.

It's a big undertaking, but it could definitely be worth it in the end.

Guys, let this be a warning for all of us to stop all the tribal and antisemitic comments if we truly love Nairaland ❤
Thats all I can say for now.

Wow!!!! Was half dead since
Congratulations to my naira land family

Eya... pain in write up, Once you are fully back ....u go activate sense
