Waiting on the webhost

Back online now.

I will not defend the host’s terrible handling of this issue. They completely bungled the whole deal. First of all, we’re not sending spam and we never have. Instead of disabling the entire site without prior warning, they could have simply asked me for my information without shutting the site down. Or at worst, they could have simply blocked all outgoing mail from the server until they get the necessary compliance information. What a nightmare. Sorry for the downtime, and thanks for sticking around!


Hi guys,

It's not my fault this time. Thanks to our friends, the spammers, all webhosts are forced to be ridiculously cautious about all customers who send emails from their servers. Since BLF sends a LOT of notification emails, they are currently asking me to verify some personal information just to make sure everything is legit.

Sorry about this.

Back online

We're back online now after a few hours of downtime. Not exactly sure what happened, and unfortunately I'll be away from my computer all day today. Hope to look into it more tonight. Sorry about that!

[DONE] Offline for troubleshooting [DONE]

Sigh... You learn something new every day. The database server by default creates *huge* transaction log files that completely filled the disk. The logs are disabled now. Sorry about that!

Might be a few hours.

Reconfiguring again

Done, hopefully for a while now. Thanks for your patience and support!

Hi everyone,

I think I just figured out the problem with the slowness of the new server. I'm working on re-importing BLF into a new configuration, and we should be ready to go. Hopefully I'll be done within an hour.

Thanks for your patience!

Migrating again to a different datacenter

I'm currently in the process of migrating to a different datacenter on the new host. It might take an hour or two. But when it's back up there won't be any DNS changes, so there should be instant access.

Sorry for the hassle again!

Working on server upgrade

Hi everyone,

I'm working on the server upgrade. I hope to be done in a few hours.

Thanks for your patience!

"Resource Limit" problem

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately our web host has enforced a new, very restrictive limit on our hosting account. I'm currently trying to figure out a solution with them. Meanwhile, we'll probably keep seeing this error from time-to-time.

My apologies.
