Apparently there was a problem at Sonic.net (where WaccoBB.net is hosted) that caused our outage yesterday. Here's the blurb from Sonic:
Web and MySQL failure
<abbr title="2009-02-20T12:37:14-0800">February 20, 2009 – 12:37 pm</abbr> by williamt
This morning around 6:30 AM one of the servers in our web cluster locked up and became unavailable. Whilst en route to investigate the problem two more servers in the cluster locked up and became unavailable. Customers may have noticed decreased performance with the cluster but should not have suffered any actual down time. Unfortunately due to human error, during the restoration of service we also had one of our MySQL servers go down because someone unplugged the wrong server. https://corp.sonic.net/status/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif
It went something like this (https://www.thewebsiteisdown.com/) https://corp.sonic.net/status/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif . We apologize for any inconvenience and are trying to determine the cause to prevent future failures of this nature.

Hey Everybody,
WaccoBB.net was offline from sometime after 7am to 1:15pm today. There seems to have been some files corrupted and/or missing. I don't know what happened or why. :hmmm:
No data/posts were lost and I expect it to be stable at this point. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Have a great weekend!
Barry
