>From a weblog belonging to a discogs.com subscriber, dated 2 July: Dear Discogs User,
As you will have noticed, Discogs has been offline now since yesterday. We experienced a cascade of problems with the servers yesterday that ended with the whole site inaccessible to everyone including the system admin's. Since then, we have been working hard on a solution to getting us up and running again. Thankfully, this server that hosts the help.discogs.com site has been revived, and this may allow us to get the whole site running again. However, this is an extremely technical job, and may take some time to complete. As sod's law dictates, we have four brand new servers already ordered and will be installing them by the middle of July. These should ensure we don't experience an outage such as this again. We apologize, and ask you all the be patent while we try and figure out a solution. In the meantime, if you need to contact me or another Discogs user with an urgent matter, please use the form below, and I will try and help. Yours Sincerely Nik | Discogs Community Manager >>> "Tristan Watkins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 07/01/05 9:43 pm >>> ----- Original Message ----- From: "robin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "313 Org" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 7:02 PM Subject: Re: (313) discogs? > i've seen it mentioned somewhere that the main guy is on holiday and > the server's gone down. could be mis-information tho. That would make sense to me. www.discogs.com is still responding to pings, so the problem is most likely with the application or server rather than anything more sinister. Truth be told, I hacked them because they haven't taken me up on my discogs toolbar idea yet. Tristan ======= [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.phonopsia.co.uk
