Fark.com status page

This is the status page for Fark's behind-the-scenes geekery. If there's a major outage or problem, we'll try to post something here about it (unless we're too up to our eyeballs in trying to actually fix it)... so check here if Fark's hosed for an extended length of time. Normally this page will be blank. :-) For more minor issues, see Mike's blog.

This is hosted at a different ISP in case of backbone-related problems -- thanks to Bluegrass.net.

Page updated Tuesday November 10, 2009 at about 10:11 PM EST (US/Eastern time)

Tue Nov 10 22:11:30 EST 2009: Brief planned reboot.

Thu Oct 22 00:00:00 EDT 2009: I'm going to have the database down for about 5-15 minutes (hopefully closer to 5!) to do some filesystem rearranging... (update: finished, ended up being about 13 minutes)

Fri Oct 2 20:38:30 EDT 2009: Need to reboot to apply a security patch, so the database will be down for, oh, 2 minutes or so.

Thu Oct 1 02:44:51 EDT 2009: A bug introduced an hour or two ago, and fixed about 10 minutes ago, was causing most input strings to get erased, which is why posting comments, submitting links, sending Farkback, etc, weren't working for a while. I'll try again after more sleep.

Other than that... No known issues or scheduled maintenance at this time.
