Hi Frank,

Yeah, SI went down in the March/April madness of 2000 & again in the summer of 2000.

It also went down for an extended period of time (about 4 or 5 days), when they upgraded their database & moved to the present interface also in the early summer of 1999... Could be wrong on the dates, my memory ain't what it use to be LOL

Regards,
Peter

Frank.

In the 15 months I've been an SI member there have been a few times that SI was down completely. But except for one that I think lasted a day the others were less than an hour and may have just been a few local or regional servers if I remember correctly.

This year has really been excellent up till today compared to what I remember in 2000. Seem to recall a lot more relatively brief partial outages last year, like not being able to send or receive PMs or not being able to post for an hour or so.

Roebear has been on SI a lot longer than I have. And in all our conversations, I never thought to ask him about this kind of thing before I was a member. What about it Obi Wan?<g> Did this used to be more common in 97-99? TIA.
