Did something just happen?

i have been trying to access CGR all morning, and I would always get a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error. Was it just me?

I got it too.

Nathan broke the internet.

After bothering Mickey at work with email about this. He pointed me to a thread that explained that CGR's host had problems again.

This is anoher good reason to donate to CGR to help get new servers. See my sig below.

*Prepares money to give to a new CGR server*

How do we know he didnt do that on purpose so that we would be begging to offer money to him?

I dunno...

I guess it's one of those mystery things.

Here's the thread on webhostingtalk that explains it. It's over 1000 replies in just a few hours. A LOT of sites were affected:

Wow, it seems like something horrible happened at theplanet....I read through some of those posts, but I never got the gist of what actually happened. Did anyone ever tell the public what happened?

I didn't have time to go through hundreds of posts, but all I really got from it was that The Planet was having problems. Mickey, do you know the specific reason why it happened?

And big problems, but not an explosion or a fire. As far as I read, the people answering the phones weren't giving out any more information (if they knew any).

Yea, people were suggesting power failures and all kinds of things. But I think someone mentioned that if there was power failure, the backup generators would have kicked in by then. It could have been a bandwidth problem or anything.

I'm not making any claims or excuses, but from what I read it was a double failure on The Planet's behalf. Something about overloading the UPS in there somewhere...
