Highs & Lows - Site Outage

Jun 5, 2009

I'm not sure what else can be said apart of I and the whole AWC Team are so sorry for the site crash.

The whole site was running perfectly today and we were carefully monitoring the servers. The traffic was at 500Mb/s and stable and we had over 600 people on webcam. We had a catastrophic Database failure which took out the whole site. After we were able to get the Databases back online it then took about 60 minutes to get them back in sync.

I want to personally thank each and everyone of you who got on cam and on the site to help us celebrate the 4 millionth member joining and I'm terribly, terribly sorry the Databases failed when they did. I promise you all we are taking steps to ensure this doesn't happen again.
