>_>' Sorry guys. I noticed that a few things had regressed to outdated versions because of the last downtime (including a few important security fixes), so I tried updating the server. I didn't realize it would knock the server out for nearly the whole nearly-a-gigabyte update process. It's still updating now, but I think it's done with things directly related to fail, and I was able to bring it back up in the middle of the update without disturbing it. Right now it's just... sitting there... watching me.... It's kind of unnerving.
And in regards to this most recent downtime, it was caused by the duck tape from this: http://tewin.ml/viewtopic.php?pid=41105#p41105
finally wearing out. It has been replaced with fresh duck tape and given a stern talking to.
In other news, the update is still going on. It's been running for over 12 hours now, and all it's saying is
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms 3.14-1-486
Anyway, with the duck tape fixed and the update not bothering us anymore, I don't see any reason why the forums should be down anymore for the foreseeable future.
So... yeah, I failed pretty hard today.
On the bright side, the forums are now loading like the wind.
