Any news on this? I've tried to access the NNTP archives two days before in search of some older discussions, and now I've tried again, and all there is when using: http://nntp-archive.sybase.com is a re-direction to http://nntp-archive.sybase.com/nntp-archive/action/product/list and the message:
Doomed to fail? |

Just a note to let you know we are not ignoring you. We are looking into the problem and will let you know when we have any details. Thanks for the feedback, Jason. So we'll wait and see. However, in case the "looking into the problem" has already been done for a while (my original posting is from Sunday), it would be helpful if such a "We do care" posting would be sent rather immediately. I guess most comments here would have been superfluous then. (Yes, this hint is based on my experience that the postings in the forum are never ignored - which is really great and should not be taken for granted...)

The site is back up. I don't know what was wrong. I e-mailed a bunch of people, things happened and now it is back up.

Still unavailable 15 hours later... not a good day in the server room.
Still down...:(
I'm getting the original "There was an error...", not the re-direction.
The error is not shown under the URL http://nntp-archive.sybase.com/nntp-archive/action/product/list?
(Though I'm more worried that the error does show up at all, and the archives are still unavailable, re-directed or not...)
I still get the re-direction - I wonder if it depends where you come in from? But, as Volker says, the main point is that it's still down - typically at a time it would have been useful to me!
I'm sorry, you're correct... I do get the redirection and THEN the error message, I didn't notice the URL changing...
Yes, that's exactly what I get, too.
