Well . . . site is back on. Yay! · 5:55am Jun 14th, 2020
I posted chapter 48 of "The Shadow Queen" mere minutes before the site went down. It almost made me feel like I caused it, or that the site was blocking me specifically. That theory held until I asked others on Discord if they could get through or not. They said no, so I figured the servers themselves are down, which means this was a global catastrophe for those who use the site.
From what I last read on the site's Twitter account, something unexpected did go wrong with the servers, but they were thinking of using this opportunity to move them to some other physical location. Still, the site came back online too fast for that, which leads me to believe they are loading the backup servers for now while the primary serves move. That's just a guess.
Anyway, I thought I'd write this blog to commemorate the experience. The servers went down about midnight on June 12th. As for when it went back on, it's 10:54 PM right now PST and I got a comment from my story 14 hours ago. Probably took about an hour to read, so 15 hours ago? Anyway, seems like early June 13th. How lucky.
