As some of you may have noticed, the site was down several hours Saturday. Surprisingly, I didn't do it.
Turns out a transformer at the data center that stores the GRM server caught fire. The server itself was fine, but they cut all the power for hours while they put out the blaze.
Fire. As if I didn't have enough problems to solve already. :nice:
Thank goodness! I thought it was something I'd done.
Missed ya. Hope things will be back to normal soon.
Would that be why I've been seeing this? I would think so, except that I'm continuing to struggle with it as I write.

remind me of when i say the fire dept. do a practice burn on a camero, watching the alloys glow cheery bomb red was sweet
Dyintorace, yup, that's why.
I still don't think it's back 100%. I don't know for sure but it feels like there's one server running and it's trying to handle all the load while they get the other ones back up.
www.grassrootsmotorsports.com is taking me to the Classic Motorsports site. http://grassrootsmotorsports.com is taking me here.
Almost back. Some stuff still isn't turned on, and some stuff is pretty wobbly, but we're getting there.
thank god, was beginning to worry that some disaster had struck grm. Was going to check the news for reports of freak meteor hit/tidal wave/rogue hurricanes in Florida.
"down for several hours Saturday"
This is the first time (Monday 6/2/08,12:40pm CST) I've been able to get on the site since Friday afternoon.
When I wrote that ( May 31, 2008 8:56 p.m. ) it was out several hours. Then it decided to go out for 36 more, or thereabouts.
Still having problems...when I navigate around the board, half the time I get this message:

Wow, it must've been a big explosion. It knocked out a bunch of other websites that I visit too.
Oh noes, the internet is exploding! Run!

Stuart, I responded to you in the other thread in which you mentioned it.
Jay, that does sound like the same one.
I found the problem.
Datacenters and transformers mix well..usually. We had one explode in a remote site. Talk about fun.
It always nice to know it isn't your problem.
