Account Suspended

FuzzyPlum · #1 07-20-2025, 04:20 AM

Hey, it’s a relief to find The Ledge back up and working this morning.
Yesterday gave me a heart attack…..trying to click on the site only to be met with the message ‘Account Suspended’.

For a while I was wracking my brains trying to work out what I’d done wrong. I was pretty tipsy on Friday night but not too bad. I didn’t remember going on The Ledge. ‘Maybe I did though’ I thought to myself. Maybe I typed something offensive. Then I noticed the same had happened to others. Somebody even started a chat on Reddit.

Anyway, all good now. But does anyone know what happened. The site is often down and can’t be accessed, particularly at weekends. But this is the first time ‘account suspended’ message has ever popped up. An update would be appreciated.

Me too. I thoght WHAT? I couldn't remember what would I have said wrong. Sometimes I am sarcastic but not a hater, but it is also true that when reading something you can give it the wrong tone, different from the one who wrote it.

Anyway then I tried to enter after cleaning cookies (login erased), a different wifi, data network, different browser, and the same result. So I figured out it was a site fall. Probably it was the server account what was suspended, I don't know.

I'm curious if the servers were overwhelmed from the influx of visitors to the website. On the main page of The Ledge, it says that July 18, 10:15 p.m. had the most visitors active online. The servers went down soon after, perhaps no more than 12 hours after that.

. . . yeah, I was kind of shocked as well, simply because of the wording "account suspended" - in fact, it sounded to me not like been taken down temporarily but more like out of business for good. I'm glad all is back to normal, but I would appreciate very much if admin folks would comment on what actually happened.

While that message was appearing, there was a link that indicate to email the site webmaster. I decided to wait until today hoping it was a temporary issue, but did somebody mail him/her?

From the later messages it was giving, I'd say it was a security certificate issue.

It is very possible. Maybe it reached a limit and then it was automatically suspended.

Cause usually on weekends this site looks like a ghost town including the dust and the rolling balls, but today it is very very active.

I've always found funny that on weekdays The Ledge is more active than on weekends, where people should be busy at work.

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I thought…. Thats it!!!! It’s shutdown for good. I don’t do any social media of any description (TL is as close as it gets), so I’m not party to any of those Facebook discussion groups. So I thought, thats it. No more FM chat. Bit sad….but I don’t think this site is long for this world, sadly.

Maybe need to find something else….The Killers chat forum maybe….that could have a few years of life.

Oh, it is actually nice to know that there was a Reddit thread. People can go there and clarify with each other if the site actually goes down for good.

Yes, I did - no reply at all, though.
