The site has gone down and I have requested a reboot – we have been hovering around the 10MB/s mark all day and I am guessing this will be a memory related problem. I should be hearing a little later today about what solutions Pacific Rack can offer to fix this for the long term.
[Update] According to Pacific Rack, we have a corrupt configuration file – the problem has been escalated and will hopefully be resolved quickly.
[Update 2] The webserver is back up but it appears that the configuration of the domains and subdomains is now all fried as listverse.com is taking me to the wrong place. What a disaster!
[Update 3] The site is still pointing to the wrong place! I have managed to get a note on the page it is wrongly pointing to to tell people to come here. Hopefully that is an acceptable interim solution.
[Update 4] 15:38 GMT: William (senior Linux administrator) is now investigating the problem – he has been extremely helpful before so I predict this will be resolved quite quickly.
Site Back Up – the site is now back up – it is running a little slow for me – but it is there! I have a new list to publish so I will do that now.

This is our new listverse blog – it is hosted directly on the wordpress servers so it will be active even if the main site goes down.
The reason for adding this blog is that we had another massive outage last night as a result of being featured on the front page of FoxNews.com. The listverse sysadmins are working on a plan to put an end to downtime once and for all! This will possibly involve a cluster of servers and a load balancer. There may be a few quirks over the next couple of days as we decide what to do and begin to implement it.
Thanks for your patience. Be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed for this blog so you can keep abreast of issues.

But as a side note I think is cool that the ‘verse is growing so rapidly
