Note: The MetaFilter Status Blog (RSS Feed) is hosted on a separate server and provides updates from Matt during outages, so always check there first.

Netcraft Uptime page for Metafilter

13 September 2006 23:54 UTC: the web server did an auto-update last night and rebooted and didn't come back up. Mathowie is working with the colo guys to reinstall the OS and get Apache running, but it's taking some time. He's hoping to get it up and running by this evening, California USA time.

13 September 2006 16:47 UTC: status.metafilter.com now reports "There was a hardware failure, hopefully coming back online later today"

13 September 2006 16:18 UTC: So I get back from the doctor's and it's still out? Is something really up this time?

13 September 2006 11:29 EST: Still No response all morning. *sigh*

13 September 2006 18:20 Central Europe: No response from server every time I checked throughout the day. Metafilter is beginning to suck big-time.

13 September 2006 08:30 UTC: No response from server, again. This is from the UK, if it helps. (Come on - 3 days in a row I've got into work and found that there's no Mefi to peruse. Can us europeans get our money back please?) (Matthowie, please! Buy a new hamster!) (1401 UTC still down) 12 September 2006 13:30 UTC: no response from server...again. This has been a habit lately. After a good period of stability.

11 September 2006 08:00 PST: no response from server. Is it true mathowie will be refunding everyone $1.00 now that Metafilter only works 80 percent of the time? :)

9 September 2006 ~11:15 Central European Time): No response from server. Metafilter: serving you 20 hours a day

7 September 2006 ~17:44 UTC (19:44 CEST): No response from server.

5 September 2006 ~11:30 UTC (23:30 NZST): No response from server. Becoming very much a habit. Update 14:37 CEST: back up. Update 20.50 BST - and she's down again. Update 22.33 BST - and she's up again.

4 September 2006 ~12:30 Central Europe time: No response from server. Seems to be becoming a habit around this time of day. Back up a few hours later. Metafilter work to rule?

Aug 31, 2006 12:30 CEST: No response from server. Update (13:59 CEST) seems to be back up.

Aug 28, 2006 10:30 UDT: [code=RESOURCE_RECLAIMED] Internal error. 500 Server Error

Aug 27, 2006: Server not reponding. Port 80 answers, requests hang forever. (9:06PM NZST, 2:06AM PDT)

July 27, 2006: Server not responding. (3:45AM PST)

13 April 2006: Server not responding (11.06pm PDT)

3/27/2006 5:37PM PST: Server not responding.

3/27/2006 4:49PM PST: Jrun is, once again, failing.

Online? 20-21 March 2006 have seen ups and downs. Sometimes it works, sometimes she no works.

Now would perhaps not be the time to compose that magnum post you were going to contribute. Use notepad: it pays!

20 February 2006: No connection. (10.04am GMT) back on (12.20am GMT)

19 February 2006: Server not responding (11.52am GMT)

17 February 2006: 12:14 UDT No connection.

13 February 2006: Seems to be up and down this morning, unless my sysadmin is just toying with me. Update: there was a trackback spam attack happening, site has been up and down. Site is now up, jabber server is still down.

7 February 2006: Offline as of 23:24 7 February (GMT). Presumably because every man and his dog just found out that Rothko got banninated again.

4 February 2006: 1:01 AM PST Pure speculation, just an educated guess: I'd say that server has the Jruns, Matt!

31 January 2006: 1.30pm GMT Down for the last hour or so

26 January 2006: Down for the last ~15 minutes (22:18 PST)

13 January 2006: 5:30 CST -- down.

05 December 2005: 12:59 GMT -- "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."

29 November 2005: 05:45 PST --no response from server. Previously served up "document contains no data". Wish that a trusted insider could be given access to a web-enabled reboot switch or power supply.

28 November 2005: 13:40 PST "Document contains no data". Apparently disabling the query didn't quite do it. (It's because I asked a question. It always goes down when i want answers, dammit)

15 November 2005: 04:21 EST "Document contains no data"

8 November 2005: 13:18 CST CF Error - The ValueList() function has an invalid parameter: getLinks.link_id.

Also not connecting with windows and firefox.

27 October 2005 12:52 EST Cannot be found error (on IE). ("Eye-eeeeeeeee").

26 October 2005: 08:10 PST No. 1 thinks he has this all figured out. Me -- I'm not so sure. Document contains no data.

20 October 2005: 13:10 PST My mistake. I thought the document contained data.

12 October 2005: 10:00 EST Document contains no data

07 October 2005: 01:40 PST The document, she contains no data. Some (metachat.org) say that they get "Connection reset by peer". Your mileage may vary

29 September 2005: 03:25 UTC Server not responding.

26 September 2005: 16:26 GMT .........and it's back up and running.

17 July 2005: 21:38 PST If everyone pays just $5 more, could we get a server that uses something besides, say... JRun?

17 July 2005: 22:04 EDT Somebody told me that MeFi was ill -- JRun run run run, JRun run run.

07 July 2005: 00:07 EDT Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the MeFi: JRun!

06 July 2005: 10:36 EDT Ah, that's more like it. I hate it when I get all that argument stuff instead of the clean, familiar, reassuring Jrun error currently on display.

29 June 2005: 5:34 EDT Something new! "The request has exceeded the allowable time limit Tag: CFQUERY" I'll bet JRUN is jealous.

15 June 2005: 14:25 CST: Kneel before JRUN!!!

24 August 2004: (04:45 - 07:27 PST) Offline - That sure is a nice JRun error you've got there.

19 August 2004: (Online until around 15:40 BST) Offline - connection refused. It JRan away? - added by Jason: the ColdFusion process was really hung; it finally quit after a while, and things now look better after restarting it. MetaTalk isn't coming up, though... figuring out why!

8 August 2004: MetaFilter was giving a ColdFusion error on the front page at 06:48 UTC; lofi mode works, as do individual posts, so the site is not technically down, but in case you thought it was... (Fixed around 23:00 UTC - see this post by Matt - apparently was only broken for those not logged in, or those without an account.)

6 August 2004: If DNS was correct, server appeared to be down; now server is up but with JRun errors. Back around 16:45 UTC.

30 July 2004: (19:10 UTC) JRun errors abound. Even the status page is giving errors!
