AFF 3 day outage (April 2021)

[admin]

Please see my announcement for full details of what happened.

Good to be back, do you have any hair left?

 

[OATEK]

Sounds like there was a significant infrastructure failure, which falls back on the provider. After all, we only use commercial data centres for one or two main reasons, and high on the list is avoiding such outages.

Glad you're back - must have been very frustrating !!

Thanks to all involved in resurrecting the site! It's great to be back.

Spent less time online the last 3 days. ...good to have AFF back!

 

[kamchatsky]

Glad to see you are back! I work in IT Infrastructure so I am keen to hear the "full full" story.

Great to be back. You would have had a hectic 3 days - rest up

 

[Major]

I can't believe how many AFF emails make up my daily email tally

 

[kamchatsky]

So AFF was crucified, and then resurrected after 3 days. What a modern Easter story.

 

[I love to travel]

Glad you are back

 

[drron]

I was at my wit's end.

 

[RooFlyer]

Welcome back. Take a few days off when the dust has settled!!

So glad AFF is back, I was suffering serious withdrawal.

Kudos to all the team that got it back up after being let down by the data centre.

 

[Pushka]

Well done everyone for what must have been a few very difficult days.

Kudos must go to @Admin. We're fortunate to also have a number of Moderators in IT, so that would have been handy if a sounding board was necessary. It's akin to a plane breaking down and waiting in the Lounge for the engineers to assess and fix - finally we're back in the air. The corollary is that Admin is now much better schooled in disaster management (not that he wanted to be).

Glad to be back, but appreciate the updates you had on the down page. Also, I've been itching to post a trip report, ha ha.

 

[VPS]

I can't believe how much I missed AFF

 

[blackcat20]

Thank goodness, I was running out of things to read in the wee hours when feeding the littlest one.

First I was...

Then I was....

and now AFFer is...
