As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Site Outages

Post by MoT »

As many of you discovered, the site was down for a few hours last night, April 25th, and stretching at times into this morning, April 26.

Our host was performing server maintenance in their data center which resulted in many sites, including this one, to be offline.

I had received an email a few days before detailing the outage, but it slipped my mind and I failed to make an announcement warning about it.

My apologies to anyone who couldn't get their deal fix during that time, or who were in the middle of composing posts. Next time I'll be sure to post an announcement as soon as I get an email warning of possible outages.
