Technical Issues Wednesday, August 6th (Updated 10pm EST)

We are experiencing some server issues which has caused us to take the main site at members.whattheythink.com offline. We are working on it and should have it back to normal soon. Check here for updates.

12pm: We have identified the problem and are working on restoring our primary database. We expect to have this accomplished in the next few hours.

5pm: We have finished checking the data integrity of our last database snapshot from 2AM this morning, and have identified the issue that caused the initial failure. Reviewing failure points and taking appropriate action to fix them. The site should be back up within the next 3 hours.

10PM: The site is back online. We are looking into the cause of the database failure that brought the site down today.

Our mistake

Whoops! We goofed. Our daily list members were inadvertently sent the weekly digest version today. Sorry about that. Though the weekly is an informative newsletter, you should be up to speed on everything in it because you get the daily.

This was a mistake on our part and you are NOT subscribed to the weekly. We just hit the wrong button!
