We ran out of disk space earlier today which caused everything to go dead. The DB had a few errors which meant the forums were out for a while longer, but everything should be back to normal now.

It's totally my fault. I wanted to use the server to receive a file and I while I imagined the file would be 100 megabytes it was 4 gigabytes and that fucked up the server :(

Lesson learned, use your home FTP server (which I have done now).

I noticed that the site was taking several minutes to load to a 503 error... I would have posted about the problem, but that wouldn't have worked. It's like Windows XP connecting to the internet to find drivers for your modem.

When was that, 2-3 days ago or more recently?

Yesterday, around noon.

P.S. My time zone is GMT -6.

I am getting "Internal Server Error" when accessing http://smspower.org.

http://www.smspower.org is working fine.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Works for me. We have a .htaccess rule to redirect to the www version. You can test it at http://testuri.org/

Thanks Maxim. Looks like I have a local issue.
