This website was unavailable for several hours the past two nights (11/27 and 11/28).
The interruption was caused by another service running on the same server that suddenly became extremely popular. The popularity spiked the load on the server to the point that this forum's software was no longer able to communicate with the backend database.
A server failing just as things become popular is unacceptable and as such the server will be replaced with one that can handle the load. There will be additional downtime either Friday or Saturday night between midnight and 6am for this site to be transitioned to the new server.
If you have any questions please ask them in this thread or email me at
cary@fairfaxunderground.com.
Thanks and enjoy!
