I tried to get on to WP earlier today, about 3 or 4 hours ago, and I got a a page saying that it was unable to connect to the website's server. I think it also said something about the site's server being off or not connected or something of that sort. So I was just wondering if the WP server or site was actually down earlier, or if it was a bug, or if it just wouldn't let me on for some reason.

Thanks!

The site was down for more than 12 hours. I've no idea why. Hopefully Alex or Sliqua will tell us what happened.

It led me to the @wrongplanet Twitter feed looking for answers, but that only led to more questions...

I've noticed the site has been up and down sporadically for several days. Sometimes, you just have to shut a server down and restart it to blow the memory leaks and other crap out. I'm sure everyone appreciates the work the admins put into the server. Thanks for bringing it back online.

It was quite disconcerting when the site went down today. Thanks to the Administration for all their work.

I'm glad that it's working again and that it wasn't just me. I hope this doesn't keep happening though, because I would really hate to lose the WP community! :cry:

So what did everyone do when it was down?
Clean your rooms, tidy the garden or look for alternative online entertainment? :lol:
