I just wanted to drop a post explaining a little about what happened in our outage yesterday.
To be up front and clear -- we had a bad, bad crash. The worst we've seen -- and we've been around the block (web 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, etc.). The team saw some symptoms of some major data integrity issues, and then contacted me. We agreed to take the site down. What initially seemed like an easy fix turned into many hours of full-throttle troubleshooting and disaster recovery.
The good news is that the site is up and running and without issue. We've isolated the cause of the outage and addressed it. The unfortunate part is that in our efforts to get the site up and running as fast as we could, we had to revert to a stable snapshot of our data. That means in the short term, posts that were created in the day-and-a-half leading up to the outage are not on the site. Please understand -- they aren't lost. We have a full record of all posts and comments, we're reconstructing your creative, hard work and we'll be bringing it back on the site just as soon as it's ready.
We're in the midst of using a large part of our recent investment to improve our infrastructure. We've started the process of moving to our new home -- our own, self-managed colocation cabinet instead of the rented/managed cabinet we're currently with. We're adding tens of thousands of dollars of equipment to make sure we have redundant, seamless failovers in case of issues. We're adding new databases, and we've taken this opportunity to add some new processes to our day-to-day operations.
We're working hard to make MOG always there when you want it, and even when you don't. Stick with us, guys. The stuff we're working on is only technology. You're the special sauce that makes MOG what it is. You guys are what makes me excited every morning, afternoon and night to log on and read about and listen to what you're psyched about.
Peace, and thanks for your understanding.

Earnest and open, just the way I like MOG to be. Thanks for this clarification and best of luck to you all hard-working people out there in your cabinet.
Thanks for the update: it's always nice to know there's a human face behind the screen that acually listens and lets us know what's happening!
