:o >:( :-[ ??? :( <-- I get it, you were feeling all of these emotions for the last 12 hours.
Basically, one of our Databases went insane and ate up too much space which meant we violated our TOS. With the help of Aron, I managed to get the database repaired.
The result is actually kind of cool because the pages should load faster now.
Anyway, now that I know what caused the problem I will make sure to keep that aspect maintained in the future so we don't suffer such insane downtime ever again.

Awesome to see the forums back up and running :D
-
Made me realize how much time I spend on here :L
-
I refresh the site at least once an hour and it was weird pressing on the button in my tabs out of habit and being taken to an error page.
-
Good to see all is well ;)
Cheers,
Aron

Gave me a bit of a fright there! Glad to see everything's up and running again.
-
I almost went insane :P
But I'm happy to see it back up and running :D
-
The advantages to sleeping during the daytime - I slept right through it, didn't even know it happened. :)) I thought the traffic looked lower than usual.
-
Care to get the technical side of what happened for us programmer/geeks out there?
-
i could get on for a while on phone but then could not even when on computer, was very worried.
-
Glad to see it back up!! I know that this has happened on a couple other people's sites that I follow. The problem with being popular ;)
-
I was dying of boredom in class without Aethercards. Shows how much I'm reliant of this forum:D I LOVE YOU GUYS LOL.

Perhaps a new worm was afoot... Doesn't look like a high-powered one, but still...

I don't think it was a worm. Lots of time a lot of traffic can also be involved with these sort of issues. My friends's blog had this problem and many sites I frequent have had the same problem. Seeing as this is a site that generates a lot of traffic (the web's home for all things playing cards) that would be a logical explanation.

and i thought i looked at the discourse alot so as to check it every few hours!
-
Gosh I go away for a few days and the forums just falls apart without me :P
-
Glad nothing was lost in the database! Good to see the Discourse up and running again.

Good to have it back up and running again. You should see Krystle's reaction. She was freaking out because she thought China was blocking her access until I let her know that we were down :P

I would've shared the same thing if I was in China. They tend to block down sites all the time. :S
