Downtime Explanation

**quadz** · 10-28-2020, 02:54 AM

Hey everyone, I'm very sorry about the downtime we experienced Tuesday/Wednesday. The host says we're using too much resources, and shuts us down without warning. This has happened a couple other times this year. My own stats don't show any abnormal increase in traffic or usage each time it's happened, so I don't know what the story is.

Either way, it's unacceptable. I've used this host for a long time, probably 15 years or more, and they've probably been the best I've ever used... until this year. I waited because I thought it would get better, but it's not. We can't have the site going down for this long every couple months.

I'm going to start the process of finding a new host now so we can hopefully get on a more reliable server again. I've got it narrowed down to a couple already, so I'll keep you all updated when we're ready for 'the move.'

Again, I'm so sorry that this happened guys, but I'm working on making it better again. Thank you for your patience.

Sincerely,

-Mike
