Why did this site crash?

February 16th, 2007 by Erich Vieth

I don’t know.   We were down from about 6 pm last night until about 9 am this morning.   This crash coincided with an unusually intense flurry of spam and some other problems (including some random characters appearing in some of the posts).   I’d like to think that we were hacked by the White House, but I seriously doubt that.  Maybe it was an act of God. 

In case you unsuccessfully tried to check in with Dangerous Intersection over the past 24 hours, that’s what we know . . .
