  1. Fix in place. We'll be watching the servers closely over the next 24 hours to make sure nothing slips by. All systems go.
  2. We seem to be experiencing some kind of DDoS attack. Taking the servers offline until we can sort things out. Apologies.
  3. One of our servers bogged down & the others were struggling to maintain the extra load. System rebooted and back online.
  4. We are seeing dramatic increase in load times for all sites. Looking into it right away. Thanks for your patience.
  5. After 2 weeks of everything looking good, we have taken the old servers off-line this morning. Loving the new servers!
  6. Migration complete. It may take several hours for the DNS propagation to reach your computer, but you'll be back online soon! Thanks!
  7. Migration Update: The migration was moved from Friday to Monday. We will begin in 5 minutes (7am PST), and should be back up within 15 min.
  8. Just a heads up: we're migrating servers today. First service interrupt in 2 years!
  9. Booting the new servers took longer than expected. Our apologies for those long minutes of downtime! We dislike them, too.
  10. We are upgrading our servers this morning. Be back in a few!
  11. Two servers bogged down this afternoon and we had to hit the restart button. Apologies for the short outage.
  12. If you having trouble getting blog posts to show up from a specific day: the issue has been resolved (there was a time zone bug)
  13. Hang on to your hats, folks: Homepages are now loading at least 4 TIMES FASTER on average due to new site optimizations! (via @citygates)
  14. We just fixed a bug in the form builder. If you've been having problems with it (in Internet explorer) you're good to go. Sorry about that.
  15. All five servers bogged down. Restarting and looking into cause.
  16. Photo uploading tool is back! Sorry for the delay. Good photo news: we're working on flickr-like batch editing and organization.
  17. The move has broken the ability for the photo tool to upload multiple photos at once. We're actively working on fixing this.
  18. A few overzealous internet filters started blocking the Dashboard - but you can link to dashboard.city-gates.org instead.
  19. All is well.
  20. The CG uploading system broke for a few minutes this afternoon during an uprade and caused problems for a few of you. So sorry about that!
