Well, Shane believes he’s traced down the problem. Basically, for those in the technical know, httpd kept on spawning processes, which lead to the server crashing. It also didn’t help that apache had two different mysql plugins enabled and no swap was created by default.
So, he’s fixed those problems.
We’ll keep people updated if anything else major happens. But we seem to be in the clear.

Well, the server has actually moved “again” since that last post to a new host (the last one was flaky and unsuitable). The server is up and running now, but the DNS is still propagating so some people can see it and some can’t. That should sort itself out over the course of the next day or so (one of the disadvantages of the distributed, redundant nature of the internet domain name servers).
There’s a thread on scifi.com tracking progress as people are beginning to get access back.
