Title: Sorry about the web site downtime last night
Post by: djkimmel on March 17, 2009, 01:59:49 PM
Sorry to anyone messed up by the web site downtime late last night. It was unscheduled and unplanned due to some critical security fix at my site host server level. I was caught off guard also and normally would not do things like that. I had no control over it either at that level.

It affected the entire web site for an hour or so starting around 12:30 AM, and the databases that run the forum, blog and other software for quite a bit longer.

Everything seems to be working correctly now, but let me know if you are having any problems now - email support 'at' greatlakesbass 'dot' com.

Ya know... I left my previous host because there were too many surprises with no warnings. But that isn't why I finally left. It was the no communication afterwards... like, 'sorry about that, but we are back up now.' Sometime hours - or in a few particularly icky incidents - days later, the site would just start working again. When I called to explain this seemed like poor communication practice, I would get an answer like, 'huh...?'

And that would be about it. I did not feel appreciated ;D
