Twisting The Hellmouth down - sort of. - Bob Schroeck - 01-19-2015
Apparently their server imploded on Saturday morning between 6 and 8, best as I can tell from a couple online "Is That Site Up?" tools. The site was completely offline at least through Saturday morning. This morning a very limited read-only version is accessable (redirected to http://www.tthfanfic.net/ to boot), with a banner indicating they had "server hardware failure". According to their top page this has forced them to move to their new server weeks before they were ready to do so, and they'll basically be rebuilding the site on the new server while it's running.

Ouch.
(And thus they are reminded of the importance of backups...)

At least they did have a transition plan in place, even if it wasn't quite ready for prime time.

yeah... it doesn't look there are going to be any updates to stories on that site until it's back up and running....

acs (our admin) has been rushing what they can to get it up and running again, but they have a full-time job as well. You can get to stories but you may have to work at it.

And it's back -- or so close as to make no visible difference.

And something's blown up again with 404s perhaps they need a 502fiction mirror......

Well, there was a notice about a planned server reboot before it vanished, and it's back now.
- batzulger - 01-30-2015
acs has been taking the opportunity to actually upgrade stuff seeing as we have this spiffy new server and all. There
s another shutdown planned for Saturday morning.
