HawaiiThreads.com, along with all of the other sites in its `ohana (HawaiiStories.com, HawaiiAnswers.com, HawaiiNews.com, etc.), were offline from about 5 p.m. yesterday until early this morning. This was caused by some changes at my webhost, and I received no warning, nor have I yet received an explanation for the downtime. I do apologize for any inconvenience this caused, and I appreciate your patience (and e-mails of concern).

Having all my sites on one server and all my domains with one registry made it difficult to figure out what's going on, and to get in touch with me. So I spent my panicked evening setting up a separate domain (http://www.ryanozawa.com/) on an independent service that could serve as a place to go if everything else disappears again.

Thanks for coming back. Now I've got to figure out what happened!

I'll be bringing HawaiiThreads.com down later this evening (Monday, July 11, 2005), probably after 9 p.m. HST, to perform a routine upgrade to the forum software. It shouldn't take more than an hour.

This is unrelated to the downtime yesterday, but the incident did prompt me to make sure all of my various sites are running up-to-date software.

Apologies in advance for any inconveneince!

Sorry for the outage earlier today. Our servers were affected by the large blackout in Los Angeles (http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/12/la.power.outage/index.html).

You got back up and running an hour before we did! I kept checking here and once we saw you were back we knew it wouldn't be long. The frailities of modern technology :rolleyes:

HawaiiThreads.com will close for less than an hour later this morning (between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.) to perform some system upgrades. I apologize in advance for the brief break and short notice! Please use the time to tell someone you love them. :p

All done! Though it took 15 minutes instead of ten. Thanks for your patience!

You were down for a while today, too - couldn't get the site to open for several hours. :( Had to actually focus on WORK instead.

All done! I'll hopefully catch glitches if and as they surface.

So what did you do? What did you upgrade? To what version?

Just curious... I'm a geek!

It's that time again! HawaiiThreads will be closed beginning 4:30 a.m. (in about 10 minutes) on Saturday, Sept. 30 for a software upgrade. If all goes well, the site should return within two hours. This will be a slightly more complicated upgrade than most, so there'll likely be separate announcements and notes to come. Thanks for your patience!
