Apologies to everyone who tried to hit the site this morning. We had some more issues with our job server... issues that were completely within our control, but we never did anything about it. So now we are cleaning up the mess. There may or may not be blogs. I have to assess the data damage. More as it is discovered.
Update 8:05am CT
It doesn't help that Google is having issues with Gmail and other services which makes coordinating our efforts and tracking down site errors a little more complicated. Not to mention my DSL doesn't want to stay running... so every mouse-click is an adventure at this point!
Right now it looks like the site outage was once again caused by a lack of storage on the server. We bought an additional drive for the imports, but some of the jobs weren't moved over like we thought they were. So this is completely 100% our fault. This is not the "fun" part of running a site... writing blog posts like this.
So just like the last time this happened, we will be running the data inserts, but we won't be running the blogs to preserve streaks, badges, play percentages, etc. Blogs will resume their normal schedule tomorrow morning.
