Unexpected server downtime for 1 hour on Sat July 29 - UPDATED AGAIN 7/31/06

(1/3) > >>

mouser:
The server went down unexpectedly from 11pm to 12 midnight New York Time, on Saturday July 29.

Please excuse the downtime; still trying to figure out what caused it.

Rover:
Bummer about the downtime, but IRC was still up.  We had a good time waiting for the Great Server Reboot.
For those online during the outage, be sure to get your patented "I Survived the Great Server Outage of July" t-shirts available soon from hamradio.   :P

If you missed it, you missed seeing a frightened mouser!   :o

Take this opportunity to remember, it can happen at any moment, so BACKUP YOUR STUFF!   :Thmbsup:

mouser:
it seems we might have a bad memory stick in the server or something similar..
we may experience some downtime in the next 24-48 hours if they need to replace hardware.
I will keep you updated.  If you have an account on the donationcoders.com server this is the time to back it up.

mouser:
+100 points for everyone who guessed that tech support at the hosting company would foul up the hardware replacement and take us offline for a day..  :mad:

Looks like things are back to normal now.

Thanks for your patience!

JavaJones:
Who is the host? Dedicated server?
