Database error?

[Son of Sephiroth]

did anyone else just get a database error and get frozen out of the site for a second there?

If it's fine now (and it probably is) then it's probably just a kink in the server. MySQL isn't perfect you know.

yes

Yeah- sorry. The server is being a bit naughty at the moment, as one of the hard drives is dying. We're working on getting it fixed, but it's in London and so we require someone to go and install it for us.

It's caused some problems with RAID and that. We're also updating the kernels. Apologies for the inconvenience.

If the site does go down again, give it a couple of minutes and it should return to normal.
