Unexpected Server Outage - 13th September

[James]

Apologies for the downtime over the past hour everyone. At this stage, I'm unsure as to what caused the problem, but I've rebooted the server which seems to have brought things back to normal.

Update: the backup process due to a misconfiguration consumed all the space on the system partition which our hosts have now corrected.

Thanks to those of you who sent me an email too

Hi Shri, there was a connectivity issue with the site on Wednesday, 20 January 2021 at 12:55:58 pm GMT for approximately 20 minutes.

Great deductive reasoning, how did you figure that one out?

It was unfortunately yes, while I was sleeping.

I contacted our hosts and they've got the site back online.

Thought that my 2g phone was dead…powered down my phone. Restarted and nothing

Conclusion: I need CW in my life, 24x7

Sadly wasn't down while I was deciding to lie about my mafia report. Next time I do similar, it would be good if the site could be down please.

We were inches to victory in mafia and that happened. Was worried if we were going to make it. Plus few timed out in draft but fortunately host was good enough to give them extra time.
