QT isn't going anywhere, that is for certain. The issue was getting a hold of someone to fix the issue. Thankfully, Rixcz responded to me, and it took him only 5-minutes to fix the issue. The person who I was using in Rixcz's absence wasn't pressed to make the fix, which is why it was down for those few days. Thankfully, in the decade that we've existed, this was only the second time that we went down. The first time had nothing to do with us. There have been planned outages for routine maintenance that lasted from a few minutes to several hours, depending on what needed to get done. This was the exception and Rixcz is available again to help out like had for the previous many years.

NOPE

NOPE!!

Hey everyone, The site was down, but I didn't quit. Although I must say, it was and still is quite difficult at times. However, it has now been nearly 17 days since June 6, 2024, when I finally succeeded in quitting. I feel amazing. I mean, I sleep less, I am more confident, I do lots of things, and I believe the addiction is getting weaker day by day. It still requires some struggling and inner discussions from time to time. But convincing myself to go and buy a smoke after 16 days without it is much harder than it was after just one day, so I guess this also plays a role in weakening this demon. So, yeah, let's keep going, guys!

MQ and Rixcz… Thank you for all the time and effort you have spent to help this wonderful train keep going to help ,all that take a seat to free themselves of this horrible killer addiction .. If you’re on the fence …take a seat …you have nothing to lose …it’s the most wonderful feeling to be free

Good to know there is a Quit Train FB page to check for updates and organize ourselves (ha ha) if necessary. I had forgotten that, so thanks for the reminder. We're really lucky to have a site that ordinarily has almost zero downtime, and I'm super appreciative of all the behind-the-scenes work that must go into that. Especially for free, which makes a really important health and community service accessible to all. To our lovely moderators and @MarylandQuitter: If there is anything the rest of us can do to contribute to site stability (pitch in for more storage space or server costs or whatever?) please let us know. Having the site crash for a few days is a rather pointed reminder of how grateful I am for it!

NOPE

Hey, thank you. I thought site is gone forever hah. I do still keep it going !

NOPE!!

G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required.

Ohh yes that's how I found out the site was down and then back up from the Facebook page. For a while there I didn't think it was going to come back but I'm so glad that it did!

This site and it's members are so wonderful and I am so glad to be a part of it!! What is the QSMB? Is that another quit smoking message board? Last year when I was looking for a support forum I saw mostly ones in the UK and Australia, and they didn't seem very active at all. Then after searching a little more, I found the Train! So glad I did!!!

We are a family .., we care about each other

I think we all feel the same denali! And many of us would gladly chip in if @MarylandQuitter needed it but he's always said no need to. We are truly blessed by his generosity....

I'm glad the site is back too and the crash did make me think of the QSMB crash. I did want to point out that if the site does crash, there is a QuitTrain page on Facebook and I was able to see that they were working on the site and that it was going to be back up at some point. That would be a good resource in case of another crash but I do believe crashes are rare here, this one was just pretty long and unnerving.

Hey @despair not, this did bring back nightmares of qsmb imploding and luckily Nancy told us about this site who took us all in. I don't know of another site like ours but MQ has assured us that the site isn't going anywhere. That said it never hurts to have a backup plan. I know @beazel is on another site but I can't remember the name of it. I had checked it out years ago and didn't like it but if that's all there is its better than nothing.

NOPE!

And the quit is still Solid..

Nope..

NOPE!!

Hi @Dejvis93 I am very happy that you didn't give up your quit while the site was down. Wow, 17 days already, that is great!! You are doing really fantastic! Keep doing it! The first couple of months you will struggle but it gets easier and easier as time goes on. Even though I am quit over a year, on occasion I still get an urge but it passes very quickly and isn't the same type of urge that I got in the beginning. Have a great weekend!

G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required.

Well done D for keeping your quit during our down time … This shows how strong you are …

Yea, it was a longer outage than anyone thought it would be but we're back now and I'm very happy to hear your still going strong with your awesome quit ☺

000 .. oops I was still derailed . Lol

I think we need a plan in case we lose this site, Some of us were on qsmb that crashed and burnt and we joined this site, Is there another similar site we could join if this one closes for good. Not suggesting defecting just having a contingency plan agreed.

Gday Know that feeling from when the old Quit smoking boards sank…. Never to be seen again. To have it happen again. Kept checking and checking again and started to wonder if the Train would come back. So glad it did. Glad to see every one again

Hey @Dejvis93, just checking on you to let you know the site is back up and hoping you kept your awesome quit....

NOPE!

NOPE
