Neocities

Front site will be down ~30-60 minutes while we migrate to a new filesystem backend (finishing up the upgrades from last week). This is the beginning of support for site snapshots, so eventually it will be a new feature. Thanks for your patience!

We're back. Carry on

Front site is going to be offline tonight starting at 10PM EDT for maintenance and performance upgrades. Shouldn't be more than a few hours. Thanks for your patience.

There's an issue for some sites with uploading js files, we are working on it.

Early this morning, we received an email from @namecheap.com that the domain neocities.org was being suspended because of a court order from New Delhi, India (a jurisdiction we don't operate in), which was for an unrelated court order about a sports streaming site on a different domain.

Please accept our apologies for this outage. We will be doing everything in our power to restore the domain and ensure this doesn't happen again.

We are already on the phone with an enterprise domain management company and will be moving to a different registrar soon, but we can't even transfer the domain out of Namecheap until they remove the suspension, so either way we're still stuck for now waiting for Namecheap to do something here.

So the legal firm that sent the complaint -and- us are both trying to get Namecheap to unsuspend the domain, but as of this writing, they have not responded to any of the requests and we are trying all means to get them to escalate this to a higher priority.

Our domain, neocities.org, was NOT listed in the provided court order document, but Namecheap took the report at face value and suspended the domain anyways, and told us "We have to resolve the issue with the complainant in order to have the domain unsuspended." As in, a legal firm in New Delhi.

Our upstream block storage is having issues, we're taking the front site down temporarily as a precaution. Will update this thread when things are running again.

Today we launched a more robust cache purger that should reduce the number of rare/occasional "missed" site updates. It's been well tested, but when things change bugs can happen, so if a site file isn't updating let us know, and the usual apologies in advance for any issues related to this.

FYI, WebDAV is currently not working, a fix is in progress. When we migrated to new code the old WebDAV code became deprecated, and it's kind of a crazy protocol so it's taking longer than expected. Apologies.

HEADS UP: in the next hour we're resetting all login sessions, so at some point everyone will be logged off and need to log back in. Be sure to save your work! If you get logged out with unsaved changes: open another tab to login, and then go back to the editor tab and saving will work again.

Alright, it's done, thank you.
