So, was there RAID? If there was, what a coincident to have all the disks fail at the same time! I think this culd be partially caused by bad server maintenance! Also, do you use SSH to fix things or do you go to the hosting provider? For me, I do both (Server located in my room!)

And spam is back up again too. Sigh.

I think the clock is off a bit -- CD sent me the automatic birthday greetings this evening at 7:01 pm local time, and there's a birthday cake next to my name, but it's not until tomorrow the 13th. (And the "Today's Birthdays" list doesn't have my name... yet?) What time zone does the server think it's in???

And thanks, Brandon, for the restoration!

Yep, timezone was set incorrectly (UTC).

Should be fixed now.

Yea when the site went down I was hoping they were making improvements to the spam filter. Well O well, I hope they get it fixed by the time of FRC 2014 kickoff or who know the person spamming will increase their spamming.

I saw a small amount of time on 11/13 at around 10:11PM that the server was down, even checked with isitdownrightnow.com and downforeveryoneorjustme.com and they both saw it down as well. Was this just a small update? or was there another failure of some sort? or was it just me?

[Brandon Martus]

Nothing went on that I know of .. the monitoring I was using was every 30 min. I just switched over to a new monitor to check every 5 min., in case it happens again.

Like i said, most likely my own user error, though I do wonder why those two sites saw it as "down" as well

This is off topic, but do you have any backup service like CloudFlare? What about a backup server, or even a node system, where users can install an app on their computer which will allow their computers to be a server (very low load), especially during peak times?

Maybe the internet connection just had a "hiccup." This means that the connection will be lost for a few seconds to a few minutes and then reconnect.
