DaveLegg Developer Posted October 3, 2008 Developer Share Posted October 3, 2008 Just to let you all know, we experienced about 45 minutes of downtime earlier. This was caused by a firmware update to Stardock's hardware load balancer, which for some reason then threw its connection cookies all over the internal network, resulting in 90% connection loss. This has been corrected by staff at Stardock and we anticipate no further issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
