APUG.ORG OUTAGE NOTICE

[Doug Knutsen]

Good morning, Sean: I, too, would like to add my thanks for all your hard work. I'd also like to make an observation: A major meltdown of a highly addictive site and what appears in this thread as a result of that meltdown? Five pages of kudos, plaudits, and "attaboys" for you, personally. More proof that what you've created is unique and totally different from the Flickrs and Photo.nets of the world. You've created a true community.

Here's another 'attaboy' thanks for all your hard work. Do take a breather now and then and get some rest! I know what it feels like - 'been there, done that, bought the t-shirt!' I have spent a few long nights recovering financial data-bases from failure - it's no picnic. Glad we're back!

I am still seeing it painfully long connect times. Lots of waiting for www.apug.org messages.

What a nightmare!!

Good to know you can work with your host like this, though. (Hey, always try to find some kind of silver lining!)

It started acting a little squirrelly on me right before the crash, and after a couple of hours I feared the worst. Thanks for the dedicated effort to bring us back online. That took a lot.

Not from here- in fact it's a lot better than it's been in a very long while!

Sean, your efforts are (as always) appreciated. And those of the poor people who were dealing with the hardware, too!

Thank you Sean

I have to confess I felt it too -
which just goes to show how addicted I've become over the past couple of months. With good reason. Don't know what I'd do without AUG now

-also working on a failover page so in the event of an outage we can have a notice with temporary chatroom.

This would hjave lowered the APUG anxiety level by 1,000,000 %

Thanks for all your hard work.

as I noted on another thread, I think the problem might well have been with my provider and not with apug.org.
