    Default MyGaming downtime - 22 November

    MyGaming is experiencing intermittent problems that are affecting your ability to access the news site and forum.

    Our host is looking into it, but unfortunately we don't have anything more concrete to report at this stage.

    We're sorry for the downtime - hopefully we can get it sorted soon.

    There are some smart people working on this already. I don't think this was a trivial issue, but we'll see when we get the incident report.

    Last I checked they were with Hetzner. That was a while back so things may have changed.

    It appears as though the issue was caused by a WordPress plugin that didn't handle the spike in traffic we've had since Monday very well.

    We've disabled the plugin and it seems to be purring like a kitten now.

    Luckily it's not something on the forum side. Hopefully the plugin didn't do anything important.

    Thanks, Soli. Our big problem yesterday were database errors. Shield is different. We are looking into that too.
