site down

Hello,

Why was the site down?

Can we help fix this issue?

I'm thinking that it was because there was an overload of visitors to the org. That happened the last time the org went down, we had a peak visitor count and the org couldn't handle it.

sigh I sure had my hopes up that Ben was fixing the bugs and the formatting issues. Thought I'd come back to see some sort of update about it...but no.

I posted on his facebook asking for a status update. He's been busy and just rebooted it because debugging wasn't working

actually, it's kind of refreshing to get away from the org for a couple of days, just to get back with new new energy/focus

THANK YOU BEN!!!!!!!!

I was in a panic! It suddenly dawned on me that the ONLY person I have a private email for is for Jony Lawson. Remember him? He lives in New Zealand and left the Org in the late summer. I was hoping the site wasn't closed down because of P's recent crackdown... but boy am I sure glad it's back. (Let's all agree to make closer connections with each other beyond just our posts here!)

I'm guessing with so many people on the US East Coast snowed in, it was simply a case of overload. Personally it doesn't really matter to me what went wrong, but perhaps next time there could be a brief announcement on Twitter and/or Facebook saying that the site is down with an estimated return time if known?

Maybe nine months from now, we'll see a new crop of purple Orgers?
