Apologies for the down time today.

Post by Gob »

We are currently experiencing an outage for a handful of servers in one of our datacenters. It has been a recurring issue, but we think that we’re closer to having a solution. Our network admin is in the datacenter now and is working on the situation. We will post an update as soon as we have it. Here is a list of affected servers

UPDATE 5:50pm PST: We changed some of the network hardware and are in the process of reconfiguring the affected system. We appreciate your continued understanding and patience, and will post back as soon as we have more news.

Still slow and buggy at this end, but that's just me. Just got this trying to reply;
Return to index page
General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading authorization packet', system error: 0 [2013]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

So, I'm contacting an administrator, 'eh? ;)
