Server Migration is Complete. The last threads of our server migration to the new cluster are complete. The site was closed for roughly an hour this morning while we finalized the relocation of the primary account databases - the final puzzle piece in the move. Integrity checks are clean, so we can finally put the server issues from January completely behind us and get back to the new features and enhancements we had originally planned for this quarter. We'll keep you posted on that front....

Welcome to the new Digs. The first major phase of our server relocation is complete - if you're seeing this message you've already followed us over to the new cluster. The new setup should go a long way toward adressing current traffic needs far better than the old setup, and provide ample room for continued growth as we forge ahead. We've added one additional layer of redundancy already, so the 1/23/08 and subsequent 1/31/08 outages shouldn't even be a remote possibility for the future, but we're in the midst of configuring failovers to hedge againt those possibilities even further - nothing quite like redundant redundancies :)

We're Back: Our website suffered a major hardware failure during the afternoon of January 20th. No data was lost or compromised during this outage, but the nature of the failure made it difficult to simply roll in a backup and bring things back to life. Everything should be functional again now, and we appreciate your patience during the restoration process. For any of you Connect subscribers who might have worried that your overwhelming response to the PitchBoards '08 LE exclusive might have been to blame, rest easy - we've been assured the demands on the system to handle that volume was only "a contributing factor." ;)
