Post news Report RSS Site downtime scheduled for next Monday

Heads up that the DBolical sites will be down on Monday the 17th at 3am PST for 10 minutes.

Posted by on

As some as you may have noticed over the past couple of weeks, the site(s) - including ModDB, IndieDB and SlideDB have been struggling at around midnight PST (7am GMT) with issues such as slow page response times, file uploads failing and other wierd bugs.

We've finally resolved the root cause of all of these and I am happy to report that the nuisance is behind us. However, to prevent the issue re-occuring, we are doing some preventative maintenance (disk firmware updates) next Monday night at 3am PST (10am GMT) on a critical piece of hardware. During this time, you will see 502 error pages. You can continue to refresh these until the maintenance is over, and the sites will come back up by an estimated 3:10am PST (10:10am GMT).

Feel free to ask any questions regarding this in the comments and I will do my best to update you!

It was, you may want to try other mirrors if the speeds are still slow.
