Nintendo Everything went boom (take 2)
Bumping this to the top like last time!
That was fun, wasn’t it? Erm, of course not…Not at all!
Now, this is going to be a bit difficult to explain. The website had gone down a couple of days ago, as I described in another post, due to problems resulting from the a RAM upgrade and the installation of a new motherboard. Everything was back up to snuff on Friday thanks to one of our amazing tech guys.
Now, unfortunately I woke up on Saturday to discover that the site was pretty slow, which is extremely abnormal since I know for a fact that our host is quick. So the same tech guys discovered that a hard drive was faulty and was nearing complete failure. When he encountered this, he immediately shut off the server, etc, and wanted to put files on a new HDD. But things can’t be that easy, can they?
Nope. So that’s why it took more than two days to fix everything. And honestly, I can’t blame our tech guy…He was brilliant! And he never was annoyed when I bothered him every five minutes since I am that concerned about the website. In the future, we may switch hosts, but for now, I’m happy to see that things are back. I’m just praying that we won’t find another problem to be hassled with. I don’t really know what else I can say other than I’m extremely sorry. I’ve said this before, but it truly is rare that Nintendo Everything experiences downtime, and this was just a situation that one thing led to another and coincidences piled on top of each other. I really don’t want anything like this to happen again. I can’t tell you guys how bothered I get when I see that the site is down even for thirty minutes. So imagine how bothered I have been thanks to NE being down for more than two days!
Anyway, I’ll stop blabbing now. Keep in mind that I have NO intentions of shutting down Nintendo Everything in the near future, so if you ever see that the site is down, please know that it will be back eventually…I promise! Anyway, thanks for sticking with us through these technical downtimes.
Please note: The backlog of news will be posted tomorrow (1/26) and there WILL be short/minor downtime throughout the night (EST). Again, thanks for sticking with us and this should all be sorted soon!
