    I've suggested for a while that a mirror site would be very useful. The hiccups have died down for the most part but it is still annoying when you can't access the site.

    Buzzy,

    I think it has more to do with arrogance. The guys feel the setup is good enough and don't need to go about setting one up, and I'll agree that it's been better as of late. If there was any time to set one up, it'd have been near two months ago when the hiccups were almost daily.

    It's very possible that they took the site down for system maintenance to perhaps back up the database. I would suggest that if they are going to do this, an announcement should be made so that people don't freak out.

    Thanks for the feedback, however misguided it might be. The idea of setting up a mirror is something we've discussed for quite some time. Unfortunately, given that we have somewhere in the neighborhood of $250k invested in our current hardware setup, we'd be looking at a similar amount in order to provide a complete mirrored solution.

    We have not ruled it out completely ... and, it's quite possible that we'll have a "partial" mirrored solution in place soon. It has nothing to do with any supposed "arrogance" or complacency.

    Thanks.

    Under normal circumstances, we DO announce scheduled maintenance and/or downtime. Today's outages were more along the lines of a "freak occurrence" that took place in the course of making a minor hardware upgrade that, 99 times out of 100 would never have been noticed by SBR's visitors. Murphy's Law. Apologies from all of us here in CR.

    You don't have to apologize, Sean. My employer thanks you...I actually got some work done!

    We'll need naked photos of certain SBR employees in order to accept this apology ... er, right girls?

    It's true, it was my fault. I confess: I took the site down. The huge number of new sign-ups we're getting is really cutting into my normal time cruising through porn sites at work.

    Hey Sean, while we were down we sent the Mexican to Schlotzsky's for lunch. Got a Texas sammich, of course, double yummy.
