Site outage Friday December 10 @ 2:22pm.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let you all know that the site experienced a short outage today (December 10th) at about 2:22pm, which lasted for about 30 minutes. Some of you may have noticed a "Database Error" message during that time while trying to access the site.

As it turns out, there is an issue with the site's server. Our web hosting company is working on getting things straightened out but may have to take the server offline again some time this coming weekend. I will post again once I know more about any further planned outages.

In the meantime, I do apologize for the interruption.

UPDATE:

I just received word from our web hosting company, and they have decided not to take the server offline any time soon.

The server's load activity was being closely monitored by the web host support staff over the weekend, and it looks like load levels have returned to more 'normal' levels, so it's been decided there is no need to perform any server maintenance at this time.

However, if this changes I will let you all know.
