Unexpected Slashdot Downtime

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the zomg-what-a-night dept.

Netcraft confirmed it ... Slashdot was dying for several hours (along with SourceForge, which shares a corporate overlord and router). Some planned downtime from our provider apparently didn't come back up quite as planned. Sorry for the inconvenience. On the upside, we're moving to a new network and hardware soon, so the site should be much faster and more stable rsn.

  1. Please update the FAQ, too! by martyb · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Hey, CmdrTaco!

    Great to hear the news that you're going to be upgrading the tech that supports this site. /. has been a daily part of my life for well-nigh 10 years. Having seen many changes over the years, I'm especially interested in what will be supporting the site when you finish with the upgrade... so, PLEASE update the FAQ - Tech page? ("Last Modified: 6/13/00")

    Thanks in advance and please accept my gratitude for (the often thankless job of) keeping this site running so well.

  2. Modernization? by idiotnot · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Will this new network include IPv6 access, or will ./ remain in the 20th Century?
