Downtime report: April 17, 20
If you didnt notice we were off the air for almost 4 hours.

The reason was that Settler suffered a hardware failure. The problem was indentified and corrected (with a replacement) by our server provider.

No loss of data occured.

Apologies for the lack of service during this downtime.

--

April 20:

Settler was offline for a bit over 2 hours. Source not determined, no loss of data

--

April 21:

At around 12:30 Apolyton time you might have noticed a slowdown that lasted for over 20 minutes. it was caused by tests running on our server to determine possible hardware failure


thank you for your patience

I don't think Kassi would survived this forced IRC-lessness much longer..

Yes, the IRC server was a minus in this case.

Yes, for awhile, I was afraid that they had blocked the site at work. Nice to see it back.

Hehe last time 'Poly was down I had just finished reinstalling Windows, and was still setting up my network. Everything was correctly configured, but the site didn't work. It was about 30 minutes of head-scratching before I thought to check another site.

Could this crash have anything to do with my not getting some thread updated e-mails?

I just don't understand why I've missed some.

It's just tracking down the various threads that I may not look at until I realize I miss them... and then be too late to really add anything to the conversation.

Well 'my threads' still works even when the emails stop being sent. That is my fall-back.

I usually use them... but with as many threads as I sub to, I think I can have a second, maybe third page of unread threads sometimes... I know I get around 45 new messages in my inbox just dedicated to 'poly of unique threads through a weekend.
