This site was Down TWICE Yesterday! Does anybody know what happened?

[Ronald Epstein]

We had a major hard drive failure.

What we lost and what can be recovered is not known at this hour.

Obviously we are back online now. We will be restoring features
throughout the day and will have more information for all of you
as soon as it becomes available to us.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

[BrettB]

Yikes! Good luck Ron. Hopefully all will go well.

[TonyD]

hard drive failure.
ugh.

isnt that waht happened a few years ago when a huge amount of important HTF stuff was lost?

[Ronald Epstein]

Tony,

Absolutely did.

Same hosting company too, which is quite scary.

Not sure yet if they backed up everything. Last time they said they
did anddidn't. I wouldn't be too surprised if history repeats
itself.

[TonyD]

sorry to hear that.

sounds like good reason to break from these folks to a new host.
i wonder if this is legitimate grounds for ending the contract.

[Ronald Epstein]

Trust me, we are looking.

SPEEDHOST (our current provider) was rated amongst the best
out there. Even AVS uses them.

Not sure where we go from here.

[TonyD]

yeah, thats a tough call then.

mostly i guess because they are so highly rated.

[Jose Martinez]

I was really worried. I thought the end of the world was near.

[Holadem]

No obvious losses that I can see so far, but the site is positively crawling right now on my end. Access is still sporadic.
