"From October 17th until the evening of October 18th, tribe.net was unavailable due to problems with our MySQL database servers. For the most part the problems are resolved, but there will be more maintenance on the site over the weekend (Friday through Monday morning) during off-peak hours from midnight to 4am."

Hmmm..Tribe first put up that "Donut Freak Out" page on the 16th and was back up briefly the next day and then crashed again, rendering it unavailable until very early this morning. Tribe was effectively down three days. Looks like the powers that be have their days mixed up. *s* I'm also not impressed with the official statement. It'll be interesting to see what the official word is the next time this happens. Probably be in a week or two. I'm noticing the down times are becoming more and more frequent. And when they do occur, they seem to be lasting longer. It's like teamnoir says, that Tribe seems to have sys admins not paying as much attention and also aging servers that they're trying to keep running instead of replacing.

Time to go over to Facebook. Hiiiii Anathema! *g*
