[DOWNTIME] Cluster 2 Down [Jun. 10th, 2008|09:16 pm]

I'm really starting to get annoyed with the box that Cluster 2 lives on, so in the near future I hope purchase 2 more Mac minis (one for database and one for the websites that also live on the box). Of course that'll run about $1000 so we better start selling those Paid Accounts!

Either way, Cluster 2 is down and I have no ETA for when it'll be back online if at all tonight. You can find out which cluster you're on by visiting this page.

Sorry about this!

Update: We've got cluster 2 back online, but with a bit of bad news. The hard drive that's in the machine along with possibly some other hardware is going bad. Basically we need to purchase 2 new machines, 2 Apple Mac minis (one database machine and one web machine). It'll run us about $1300 which we don't have. So hit up our donate page if you want to help out. In the mean time, I honestly cannot guarantee the quality of service for cluster 2 people, we'll continue to backup the database daily, but there's no telling of when the machine might die, even with backups we have no machine to drop it on to...sorry.

Update #2: We're getting another storm -- please remember to go to http://scribbldstatus.tumblr.com for up to the minute information on Scribbld's status! I have a feeling the servers will be up and down over the next hour or so.

Please remain seated while the poor Scribbld servers take a lightning beating. We thank you!

Update 3: Cluster 2 is back online believe it or not! Hopefully the storm is done with.
