The Maintenance
Jul 14 2011, 1:59 AM EDT | Post edited: Jul 14 2011, 2:02 AM EDT
Guys, as you know, Wetpaint was down for almost 3 full days. The reason was they ran out of disk space again. They tried a fix for it Tuesday, but it failed. They tried a new one yesterday, and finally Wetpaint's back up. There shouldn't be anymore down time for Maintenance,
This should answer anyone's questions. Please do not post threads about this. Thanks.

lol. xP
I don't really have people's emails, so i can't really email them telling them what's going on, but I always post on Wetpaint's Facebook and look for posts from users on there. :P So I guess i'm lucky in a sense of not getting all those emails.

Maintence is required from time to time if you want a wiki at all. 3 days is a long time I know, but ya have to do, what ya have to do to keep things going.

What happened: Over the weekend the master database server experienced some corruption problems which required putting all wikis in a "read-only" mode. We implemented a backup/restore procedure which required replicating all data to all of our database slave servers. Due to the amount of data, and some snags along the way, the process took quite some time to complete successfully. We were able to switch wikis back into normal read/write functionality as of last night.

We apologize for any inconveniences this down time has caused and appreciate everyone's patience while we were working to fix it. Also, we are taking additional steps to avoid having this happen again in the future.

Yes, and it's better to have a fully functioning site rather than one which glitches periodically. :)

There's something wrong with my site, I thought it may have had to do with the Maintance. When you try to edit it's homepage, it says something along the line of ''An error has occured. If this problem persists, reload the page and try agian'' Well, I've reloaded the page a few times, and it still dosen't work. It worked before the matinace.

I also was literally watching the computers for hours at a time, refreshing the page. Haha I was so bored -_-

Try clearing your cache and cookies. This will eliminate old data left in cache. It should be a good practice when Wetpaint goes into a maintenance mode, to clear cookies and cache before editing your site when WP comes back on line.
