About the saidit server restart last night

submitted by magnora7 from self.SaidIt

We had some downtime for about an hour, about 12 hours ago. The reason is because our server company restarted their entire server farm, and our particular server would not restart correctly after they did this, despite several attempts.

So d3rr told the server company and they put us on new hardware, keeping the same server plan we've always had so our expenses didn't change. And it fixed the issue entirely. So now the site is working better than ever! Thanks d3rr.

Just wanted to let you all know what happened if you noticed the downtime earlier. It was just a purely technical hardware issue that's been completely resolved. Thanks everyone!

thank you for the update we at IP2 thought the community got nuked or something. I will try to organize another round of donations for the server costs soon like we did a few months ago. Once everyone gets their Trump bucks maybe.

I've had an idea to start a web store that could help support SaidIt and its users. When I finish my story I'll be wanting to promote it, ask for feedback and support, and of course I'll set up a web store of my own, and if there's nothing done between now and then I'd open a SaidIt-support wing of the online store, whatever that may entail (ideally transparent and openly democratically developed and managed in a dedicated sub). But that's a whole other project for later. Unless we start it sooner than later.

Interested? You need not commit, nor answer immediately. This may be years away.

I'll try to remember. Keep your eyes open. It won't be a secret though.

No prob man. We're getting our multi-server architecture setup in the very near future too, so from there on out we should be able to scale up like bosses.
