Unplanned outage 7/16

[patracy]

Our hosting provider had another outage today due to some networking gear. We're back up and running once more, but I'll be having some more discussions with them. We've had two events in a month now. Far better than our previous provider though. Sorry for the outage folks.

If you did not push the button to cause the outage then you have nothing to be sorry about, the server needs to post the sorry not you.

Was it China or Russia probing the server for military information?

Amazon's Prime deal crashed and all those login attempts had to back up somewhere. Kind of like a backed up septic system....

One thing I would have to say I appreciate about the way SS is set up is the redundancy of the Facebook group for situations like the above; updates on when the site would be back online were posted there and updated as they transpired. It also provides another way of reaching out to members (Granted, not everybody even uses Facebook to begin with).
