James H Posted May 21, 2023 #3 Posted May 21, 2023 This one was an issue at the datacenter and not any issue with MSW itself. There was a problem with the power which supplied many server cabinets at the datacenter and the outage took probably many 1000s if not 100,000's sites offline what depended on that datacenter. We were simply a casualty of that. The engineers there upgraded the power supplies and now we are back. Keith Black, markjay, davyboy and 14 others 17 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY.

Keith Black Posted May 21, 2023 #4 Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) I was finally able to finally log on this morning at 4:24 EDT and there were four of us logged on. That's the least number of MSW members I've ever seen logged on, it was weird. I logged out and came back a couple of hours later and our site was down again. I logged on just now and I'm grateful to see we're back up and running in fine fashion. If during this outage you discovered how much you truly missed being able to log on to MSW to enjoy all the benefits that MSW provides and you're not a NRG member, then help by financially supporting MSW by becoming a NRG member.

Snug Harbor Johnny Posted May 21, 2023 #10 Posted May 21, 2023 'Figured it was likely a 'temporary' glitch ... and reminds one how quickly things could just 'go away' in the event of some cyber-war, gigantic solar mass ejection event aimed directly at earth (one knocked out all telegraphs in the 1800s) or some global catastrophe (don't want to imaging one right now) . The convenience and scope of information available at one's fingertips through this and other forums is awesome, though, and it sure beats the 'old days' of scrounging through municipal libraries - which never had the sort of 'builders' techniques' laid-out with such clarity. I'm doing things I never thought practical (or even possible) with present technology ... from complex spreadsheets to Photoshop wizardry to sound editing and desktop publishing.

As it was explained to me, this was a problem of not enough electricity to power some the servers and power outages to our data center server. Thousands of sites were affected. Also having lost a build log after the Big Crash, I am grateful that nothing was lost. Thank you again, gentlemen.
