Our server company had issues with a rack at the datacentre. Our database server was in this rack which resulted in temporary loss of service.
It seems that all has now been resolved
Downtown LA Datacenter Networking Issues For Specific Webservers
Posted (November 20th, 2011 at 9:55 am PST) by Justin
We are investigating a networking issue that is causing outages for a specific row of servers in our downtown LA datacenter. Possible servers that we believe could be affected at this point are listed below. We have our admin team on the case to figure out the cause and fix it as soon as we can. We will update this post when we have further info.

There was an outage on the Server-Datacenter
Major Network Outage (Downtown LA Datacenter)
Posted (January 30th, 2012 at 8:09 am PST) by Justin
As of 8am PST, we had major network connectivity issues. We believe it was all datacenters, but it appears to be only the downtime LA datacenter that was affected. We are seeing some services restored now, but are continuing to fix up remaining issues and investigate possible causes.
Update Jan 30th, 8:55am PST:We are starting to see some services coming back up, and our admins are continuing to work on any remaining issues. The DreamHost control panel for example still appears to be having issues and is being looked into. – Justin
Update Jan 30th, 8:40am PST:Investigation is continuing, as our admins check all the links to the datacenter and other possible causes. We are doing all we can to get this resolved as soon as possible. – Justin
Update Jan 30th, 8:20am PST:All personnel are notified and are rushing into position to investigate and get this issue resolved as fast as humanly possible. We do not have any new info at this time about the cause but it is being investigated. – Justin

As some of you have noticed, we had today an extended server outage. The reason was an incorrect configuration.
Together with the support from our webhoster this could be fixed and everything works now stable.

Some of you may have remarked that for some time we have problems with our server which is hosted by Dreamhost.
So lot of us
- didn't receive email notifications
- run in a 'Gateway 505' error while they tried to connect from a mobile
- coudn't connect to the forum because the server was down
- had a very slow connection
- and so on
Beside this also the backend, the part where Paul and I are working to keep the forum in good shape, is a little outdated - more likely something that Fred Flintstone would like. For these reasons we decided to move the whole website, including the forum, to another hosting company and the choice fell on Bluehost. We started with this work 23th of march and the deadline for this move was planned for the 20th of june but as work went very well I think we can switch to the new Hardware on
Saturday, 1st June 2013
This switch needs to close the forum for about 4 - 6 hours. So don't plan reviews ore other big posts for this date - bring them up earlier
Will keep you informed

the forum and the website will be moved to the new server.
For this purpose, the forum will be closed for approximately 6 hours.

First block of work is done. To finish the whole work I have to wait that the new DNS are working, this can take up to 72 hours.
As long this is not given there is no interaction between the forum and the website, meaning you can not do a login on the site but you can login to the forum. Enough for today
Edit:
I forgot also new registrations are not possible as long the DNS is not working. So please try it later
