Escapist Down?

[latenightapplepie]

Eh. It wasn't so bad. I mean, I was pressing refresh quite frequently, but I was also playing some Dragon Age:Origins. Didn't feel like 2 hours to me.

30 hail mary's for you.

We just had a major power outage at the server farm, and I'm currently waiting on an update as to when things are back online.

Things should be back online. Power gremlins have been taken out back and shot.

That explains it.

 

[WrongSprite]

[sub]Yeah, it happens from time to time. No big.[/sub]

Not for 2 hours straight it doesn't!

Well...yes, it does from time to time.

 

[capin Rob]

YES!, I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO scared, I died a little inside.

 

[Kross]

Yeah, this morning was fun. There was apparently a UPS failure at the data center. Something that should be next to impossible with the amount of redundancy and preventative maintenance alerts I get. So after about an hour of no power, we were finally able to turn our servers back online, and then spent another 45 minutes or so checking and bringing site services online.

Our secondary database server needs to be re-synched (which takes about 20 minutes of downtime), but that can wait until less people are online.

Ugh.

Breathing into a paper bag helped.

 

[El Poncho]

I took the time to watch the NEW episode of Unforgotten Realms!

Mike and Rob are back at it; What surprises will the future hold for them?!

Yeah!

I took my time away from the Escapist to make this:

Admittedly it only took 2minutes but still

They had a power outage.

Check the Tech Team user group. They had an announcement about it.

 

[rokkolpo]

phew i thought my computer sucked.......
well it still does but not as bad apparantly.

 

[Marter]

Good thing I was at soccer while it was down. Didn't miss much.

 

[Baby Eater]

I kept myself busy by creating a wall-climbing disco-train on Littlebigplanet.I win.

Alright, speak up, who didn't offer a virgin sacrifice?!
We need to remember to do that, people! It is necessary to our enjoyment of the forums!

Look I told you I'd end up eating them! You can't trust a cannibal around human sacrifices!

 

[[Cold-Shoulder]]

I thought it was my computer.
I wonder what happened.

 

[Deadlock Radium]

Those two hours have been the most boring two hours this week, luckily, The Escapist is up and running again
I love you, Escapist <3

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I woke up about an hour ago. It just said "Alas, this forum has yet to receive a topic."

Then I ate a bagel.
Then it all fixed itself.

I can see the connection! Well done good sir for saving the Escapist!

 

[micky]

ya i thought it was my computer, im sorry i doubted you compy, will you forgive me?

 

[Pimppeter2]

So they finally replaced Neon's soul with Vaude's?


[sub]Also, I should stop waking up at 2pm. Kool stuff always happens in The AM[/sub]

 

[splatterguy734]

Yeah I got the access denied message a while ago.

They had a power outage.

Check the Tech Team user group. They had an announcement about it.

[GrinningManiac]

I watched Doctor Who and ate a fajita

Now my tummy is happy, and so am I

 

[TheStickman]
