ArtisticAlley Issues
We renewed the domain on Tuesday for ten years...
And the site stopped working. Basically, Register.com changed the DNS for the site when they renewed the domain, and they haven't figured out what needs fixing yet.
The site is there; we're working on it and arguing with them regularly - and hopefully it will be fixed on Monday. -
SpellCast at Portus
SpellCast is going to be in Texas in July ( Read more... ) -
Unexpected downtime
The site database server seems to have crashed; we've requested a reboot and hope to be back up shortly. Until then, AA, the Park and fic submissions and reviews are down - but as I said, we hope it's very, very temporary. -
Downtime, Unexpectedly
All of the site seems to be down, which usually means something major has happened at our server-host's location-center.
We're on top of it and will update everyone as soon as we know what's going on. -

Aaaaaaaaand, we're back!
The fics are back up, and we're hoping you're as thrilled as we are!
We are working to put measures in place that will prevent downtime for the front page and hopefully eliminate downtime for the fics, on a going-forward basis, but it may take until September to get everything working properly. One thing we are planning to do is get an additional ( Read more... ) -
Server downtime
We're not sure what's going on. Our host told us that "[i]t looks like the system was completely powered off..." at the source, and they've turned it on and rebooted it, but we're still down.
They're working on it and we're sending regularly time emails to ask what's up.
The Park is working, so we recommend using spending some time there today.
