As of 2010-02-08:13:32 (GMT) The site appears to be unresponsive. Looks like the system accepts the initial connexion but then the webserver never responds.

The storiesonline.org site seems to take a long time to respond, but then comes up with the usual home page.

Sorry for the slightly innapropriate use of commenting, but I’m not at my usual computer and I’m accessing the site via Lynx (which is a whole new ‘experience’ in itself).

Regards, Arty

You’re doing a hell of a job. Now that my left “great toe” has been removed maybe I can start adding to the burden you have by posting more.

Never Noticed the downtime, which is the nice thing about having multiple tabs open to track large stories.

The problem with making things follproof is that we always underestimate the ingenuity of fools.

I have done moves of all sorts of electronic equipment over the years. The one thing that stands out is that no matter how well planned, the feces WILL hit the rotating air mover. All a being can do is try to minimize the outage. Y’all did GOOD. Thank you for your efforts.

Lazeez, I just wanted to make a brief comment. I have been a devoted player of “World of Warcraft” for about 9 months. In that time, servers are taken offline on a weekly basis. On occasion, crashes have caused specific servers to be down for many hours.

In contrast, I have been a regular user of StoriesOnline for (I figure) a good 5 or 6 years now. In all that time, I think that I can count periods of significant SOL downtime on a single hand; in fact, this recent event was the only one I can remember in all that time.

Thus, I wished to pass along my most sincere thanks for having such a steady, strong and dependable service.

I can imagine the sweat dripping down your brow as drives started failing… we’ve all been in technical hell in some capacity. Technology is great until it stops working (or the electric plug gets pulled.)

Those of us who have been around a while back-up a lot. Good advice to hear again however.

I wish you luck on the move and getting your array replaced. Hopefully the usual techno rule of ‘cheaper, faster, better’ (than the previous RAID array) will hold true for you.

We all appreciate your site, Lazeez.

This is such a GREAT sight for so many of us that a little down time is nothing we will worry about. We all know you are and will do everything you can to keep everyone happy and up-to-date. — Thanks for the GREAT work.
