Today's downtime

[Brian]

Sorry folks. According to the hosts, there was some sort of a minor catastrophe at the datacenter which kept everyone very busy for way longer than it should have.
I was on them every hour. Some hardware issue that I assume should have had some backup plan.
Anyways, we appear back now, and I have every faith that the issue is resolved. So let's resume our regular programming.
I hope the break was either very relaxing and allowed you all to get some stuff done....or it was agonizing and made you realize you need to support us loads more and make sure we are always up

@Brian I am not on FB, however are outages posted somewhere else like FB or a warrelics thread? Just so we can get a sense of how long the outage will be.

It had been getting worse and worse over the last few weeks. I used to count up to 30-40 seconds, and then 30 seconds more after the timed-out screen appeared.

And no, the break was not relaxing.

The site is really quick and easy to load today.
