Why is the site going down?

This place has been stable for years now, but in the last week it's gone down twice, is there anything we ordinary users should do?

Nah it went down once

Not sure what happened, will investigate but turning it off and on again got us back up.

Oh?

I couldn't connect today (for half an hour?), and sometime toward the end of last week (might have been in the weekend, I don't remember (but I'm pretty sure it was later in whichever day it was, the reconnect might have been after midnight?)) I couldn't connect for I think a couple of hours.

I've seen two (maybe three?) outages in the past couple of weeks - anything I might be able to help fix?

I need to do some upgrades at some point

Couldn't get on for a bit just now due to 504 timeout errors, just FYI

Could that maybe include the responsive skin?

Pretty please...

What about a cron task to restart the the SQL server once a day?

The SQL engine shouldn't need restarting on a daily basis unless something is horribly broken somewhere.

The site was down all day yesterday - that's the longest outage I can remember for a good many years. If additional help is needed to fix/upgrade stuff, PM me.

Is it something about Autumn? Some sort of Xmas rush claiming server capacity or something?

I've seen the site dead in the water at nights for several nights in a row about a week or two ago, then yesterday it was down for 24 hours or more.

Down again yesterday morning, and then persistent logon failures (for me) for a good while after it came back.

As ever, I'm able to help if any is needed.

Huh, weird. I don't know why that happened...

I didn't see that the forum went down today.

Perhaps the server was feeling very depressed?
