Rumor Forum Migration Complete

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

If you see a notice that says we’re still migrating, DNS has not propogated for you. If you see the normal forum, well, it’s all good.

Rumor Forum Down for Migration

All right … everybody out of the pool!

Server Migration in Progress

Monday, March 30th, 2009

Experiencing Site Slowness

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Something slowed up the pace of backups last night [best as I can tell, a variety of HTTP pingfloods from script kiddies], so the backups are still progressing during normal traffic, which causes slowness. Sorry, not really anything I can do about it other than cancel the backups, which I think you’d agree is bad.

We’ll be on the newer box soon.

Server Offline > DNS Issues

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

Not sure what’s going on, but I lost connectivity to the server. I’ve done a reboot request, which failed, so the NOC is investigating. Thanks for your patience, and I apologize for the downtime.

Nope, it was DNS issues. The Planet brought a new system on last night, and things are wonky with it. It’ll be a while before new data propogates, I reckon.

Overnight Downtime

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

We had a power failure with the server about 0330 CDT this morning, but we were back online by 0415. I was safely in the arms of Morpheus and the mask of my CPAP for a sleep study, so I didn’t take the call … but all is well.
