Yes, Virginia, the server went down this morning. I've searched through logs and I still have no idea exactly why. Sneaking suspicions, though. I'll be keeping a close eye on it.

BTW, Disney was great Regular Smiley I'm sorting through over 650 pictures now; I'll post some when I have them ready. If you're patient, you can see a little slide show here http://disneyphotopass.go.com/DPI/r.d?i=392142887

Server went down again last night for about an hour and this time I found the problem. As usual, it was some half-clued @%$#%$# who decided to run a site copy program and overloaded Apache, causing it to fall flat.

The reason I didn't see it the first time was this person is actually running his/her bot against all the RPG sites simultaneously. Requests for an individual one don't look that bad, but when I sorted all the access files together last night, I could see this person in Virginia just killing the server. I firewalled the @$##% for now; will send the logs to Road Runner's abuse department. Just so happens I know the person in charge of Road Runner security & abuse nationwide. Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee.

Anyway, we should be clear of that particular thorn now. On with the RPG work...
