That's the site's IP address.

Has anyone tried to contact Bunni or Zackmann08?

Doesn't it strike anyone as odd that no one is trying to send the rest of us messages as to the reason of the outage or when they think it might be up ..... ANY news at all ?

I had assumed someone had. I think I have Zackmann's email somewhere though.

Not sure but i believe it is an easy fix as well, with the site administrator simply having to run the "flush-hosts" command to unlock the database. The fact that it hasn't been done though suggests that either their is a bigger technical problem, or neither of them are around and haven't seen it. I've been travelling for a few days so have only just seen this, how long has it been down for?

We're now on Day 3. The Latest Updates page is still up, and the last update came at 8:43 on 3/12. I'm not sure what the default time zone that is though.

And we're back. 0513 EDT, 3/16.

Well that really sucked. Coincidentally @#! I've been traveling since Wednesday, I just got home at 2am after a 15.5 hour drive to an email from Alienqueen about the errors. One command and it's all back up, looks OK to me now. I don't know yet what caused the issue but will investigate, may have been an automated response to a flood of edit requests through a spam bot off the top of my very tired head.

Post on my Talk if there's any issues (I can already see the Categories are missing from the Sidebar), I'll check again first thing in the morning to see if the issue arises again.

Unfortunately, because the site was technically still 'UP', just showing an error, none of the automated systems notified me of an issue. :/ I'll have to rethink the notification settings.
