Once again apologies to authors and comment writers for the loss of their work. Due largely to a continuous increase in visitors to the site, the v-server could not keep up and had to be upgraded. Just under a week ago we ran into problems and lost two days worth of articles, taking us back to the 14th of December. We replaced those articles and put new ones up, only to lose all the same ones in this more serious outage.
We have spent a lot of anxious time monitoring what was happening and trying to deal with it, as well as doing the usual seasonal stuff. We were too bushed to put up a notice when early in the morning today, the problems were fixed. We hope people will help us to plug the gaps.
Because a continuous rise in readers had overstretched the RAM in the virtual machine that candobetter lives on, we have now upgraded to a more expensive gutsier server, so hopefully we won't have another outage like that soon.
Seasons Greetings!
