Pre-Christmas BiggerPockets Crash 12/23/10

[Joshua Dorkin]

As I'm sure many of you know, BiggerPockets was completely offline all Thursday evening from about 7pm EST until 2:10am EST.

Our hosting company experienced a series of unfortunate events (starting with weather and ending with battery backup failures) which led to all sites under their watch being unavailable.

There was little we could have done, and I trust that they did everything in their power to rectify the situation.

That said, I'm sure that many of you were wondering what was going on and I hope that you turned to our Twitter channel @BiggerPockets for updates. Admittedly, we did not use our Facebook channel, and in the future, I will be sure to do so in the event we have problems.

I'm extremely sorry about the outage (and certainly quite stressed!), and will look forward to seeing everyone back on the site throughout the holidays.

Thanks for the understanding,
Josh
