We were offline today from 4:23 PM to 10:51 PM (CST). The outage was due to a hosting upgrade the site has received. We’ve had to move AwesomeStart around a bit to accompany the new traffic, and we want to let everyone know this was a one time upgrade. The server will handle much more traffic now, and we shouldn’t have to worry about anymore bandwidth issues.
We want to thank everyone for sticking with us during the outage. The downtime came a bit earlier than expected, and so there wasn’t a whole lot we could do to notify our users. We know it caused a little bit of panic, but there is nothing to fear. This site will be here forever. This is no longer just a little hobby of ours. After the recent boost in traffic, several of us are taking on this project full time.
The server-side upgrades aren’t all that’s new – there’s also an Avenged Sevenfold start page as well as the highly demanded AFI start page. We hope you like them!
We really appreciate the community of users we have and all you’ve been doing to promote the site in the last few weeks. As mentioned previously, this outage was rather sudden and more than a few users may be under the assumption that the site is gone. We’re asking that you send out a myspace bulletin, make a livejournal/blog post, IM your friends, or use other means to let people know we’re back online.
Thanks!
