Has Apolyton Been Down?

[Skanky Burns]

Hence the humour.

Something like this would be more humourous:

"due to the actions of one poster, Skanky Burns, 'poly will be down for the near future. When it re-emerges please feel free to castigate him"

Hehe, an interesting spin, but at least Skanky is used to getting the blame.

DOWNTIME REPORTS MAR 2-4

(5 March 2003, 06:33 | About) From 19:40 to 23:15 on March 02 and from 23:40 March 4 until 01:15 March 5 (all EST), our server was down. In the first case only parts of it were not fuctioning, but needed a reboot. On the second, we had system crash requiring additional (maintainance) downtime for the database after the server was up again(during which the non-database-using parts of the site were functional and forums were accessible via the the cache feature).

The first case actually lasted longer due to real life issues and not system failure. These problems ended a record-breaking close-to-two-months server uptime. The recent server changes have helped a lot in the "war on load"(and despite increase traffic(over 400 users for several hours every day, 600 registrations in the last 5 days)) making us feel more certain that we wont be dealing with similar issues in the near future again.

Our apologies for the disturbance.

When you manage to keep a server like this up and running non-stop for almost two months straight, I think you're entitled to a few hours' downtime "on the house".


We will give you this one and speak no more of it.

Now keep up the good work!

To both the terrific uptime record, and to the randomly blaming posters idea.

I remember the days when we would see one of these downtime reports almost every week.
Congrats to the admins on getting everything to run smoothly (well ...almost ).
