“...due to factors such as increases in traffic, additional server/software stress, the possibility of bad actors, etc. — this is also the most likely time that something like this is going to happen. We are working to resolve the issue as soon as we possibly can.”
Every IT person worth their salt could’ve seen THIS coming. Duh. Anyone remember the Y2K meltdowns? What? They didn’t happen? I guess DU only hires unqualified DEI folks in their IT department. *SNORT*
I wouldn't snort too loudly.
A few years ago FR crashed right before a big election and was offline for several days as JimRob &Co rebuilt the server from backups.
It was after that crash that I realized that FR needed more money to buy better hardware and server space, so I became a monthly donor.
