Website Downtime Bulletin 10/07/09

**Max** · #1 10-07-2009, 05:00 AM

Hi Everyone,

Due to issues with our web server being under unusual stress at the moment due to all the increased traffic, we need to temporarily close the main www.swgemu.com website. There are bugs in the site which are causing unusually high system strain, and it is affecting the performance of the forums, bug tracker, and even the TC, causing crashes and timeouts.

We hope to have the bugs fixed in the next few weeks, and until we are happy with the performance of the site, it will remain offline. The main web address will continue to re-direct to the forums until then. We are also looking to acquiring more memory for our server to help deal with the increased traffic.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Have a good one.

Would this downtime also be why I can't log onto the server? Tried to get on a few minutes ago and it says either my User/Pass is incorrect. :/

Same here. It was like everything was tied together or something.

Thanks for the update!

If there was any reason it had to go down, I'm glad its due increased traffic :d

Well I have been seeing a lot more server shutdowns recently. Could this be the source of all that?

If so, I hope you get it all worked out, and if the server will be down for some time, I have other ways to keep myself occupied, so I'll just go dorment like I did the last time major work was being done.
