If you’re a Linux admin, you’ll understand that line above. It basically means we’re overloaded. Everything runs smoothly for most people but its certainly not as quick as it should be and there’s really no spare capacity for traffic peaks.
To fix that, we’ve committed to a new server for UMPCPortal and the product sites that we host. Upgrade will happen at some point in the next 12 hours and there’s likely to be a short 2-20 minute outage while that happens. Don’t panic if the news, forums, gallery and product portal are unavailable for a short period.
Hopefully we’ll see each other on the other side with a faster, more responsive site.
Thanks.
Chippy.
Hmmm. upgrade didnt happen as the new server wasn’t quite ready. I’m expecting it to happen during the (european) afternoon today.
Finally the server was upgraded last night.
All is stable and running as expected.
