Is The Obsidian Portal Down?

No one in my group can access our campaign or any one else's campaign either

It was down for a while on Friday night, in the middle of our Dresden game- I feel your pain.

In the middle of a game? That IS a downer. The system was down for me this morning and then it was very slow, but this was only MILDLY irritating and it seems to be running OK now. I guess these glitches happen sometimes but if we consider how well it usually runs, I think we can count ourselves very fortunate.

Wow, Leonidas!

Quite a collection! And quite a mammoth task even to list them.

Leonidas, that is truly an impressive collection- how in the world do you keep track of all of them?
Twiggy- I am more impressed that after a year it was the first time OP was down except for scheduled maintenance during a game night- and on a related note, I for one am so glad that the regular updates have moved off of 11pm Pacific- which was always a pain!

@ killervp - Thanks, I am like Smaug I just know what I have - lol, no I have them seperated by type in a bunch of the stackable containers that you can get cheap at Wal-mart, then I bought a bunch of screw/nail organizers and took those trays out. you can get like 20 mini's to a nail tray and between 8 to 12 nail trays to a stackable organizer drawer.
The bigger mini's just get their own drawer or two or three if its Dragons, Demons or Giants.

Yes, the site was down on June 29th. It was because of the massive storms on the East coast of the USA that took out other websites link Netflix, Instagram, etc. http://venturebeat.com/2012/06/29/amazon-outage-netflix-instagram-pinterest/

We're going to continue working on improving OP so that our application servers have better failover. The good news is your data (campaigns, wiki pages, adventure logs, etc) is replicated in several locations plus you have data backup downloads available, so your Wiki Pages will also be there when OP comes back online!

Thanks for sticking with us through the outage,
Ryan
