Oh, thanks for the reply, but what do you mean by the storage being cleared?

#46

absolutely no idea, i didnt have anything to do with fixing the server. i just know that “something about storage” took down the server

I guess it could have been an issue with Discourse’s (not discord) servers?

Discourse is by far the most popular forum app, Roblox, Wick and Unreal Engine use it.

HTTP error 500 is in the server range. You did know that?

Yeah, if you look up more I said it was either down for maintenance or something with the server

500 Internal Server Error

The HTTP 500 Internal Server Error server error response status code indicates that the server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request. This error is a generic “catch-all” response to server issues, indicating that the server cannot find a more appropriate 5XX error to respond with.

If you’re a visitor seeing 500 errors on a web page, these issues require investigation by server owners or administrators. There are many possible causes of 500 errors, including: improper server configuration, out-of-memory (OOM) issues, unhandled exceptions, improper file permissions, or other complex factors. Server administrators may proactively log occurrences of server error responses, like the 500 status code, with details about the initiating requests to improve the stability of a service in the future.

Yeah, when it was down I did a lot of research

#54

Is MDN a lot of research? 'Cause I use it to remember random HTML and JS things, as well as CSS.

Basically, all it was was about the servers and what you just showed me

#59

Yes, the 5XX range is reserved for server issues.
Except for 418, then you’re really deep into weird requests.

Cool, the more you know
