Apology for forum and email outage

I apologise for the forum being unavailable for part of Tuesday (and early Wednesday morning for Europeans). The forum used up every smidgen of free space on our server (the forum uses approximately 1.6 of the 2 gigabytes available, the rest being taken up by the rest of the site, graphics, a couple of short homepages and miscellaneous site-related stuff).

I knew this was coming but I didn't quite think it would happen so soon. I'll probably be adding another gigabyte to the site's hosting plan in the next few days. In the mean time I've taken some measures to ensure everything has returned to normal operation. This includes deleting some very old gallery photos (over 3 years old) and old announcement items. I try not to remove anything from the site in terms of important messages so that we can always look back at our discussions (currently we have everything back to late 2001, almost to when the site started).

If you have a caudata.org email account and you were expecting an important email today, don't worry, it should be there now or in the next few hours.

Again, I apologise.
 
it seemed to go down again, for over a day, but then when i finally get in it has a constant record of use by 108 people -including me 2 hours before....does the counter get turned off when its locked up like that?
 
Sorry, minor hiccup resolved. The site shouldn't have been down - it wasn't for me. However I do believe there were issues for some people posting messages, particularly with photos. That's resolved.
 
both jenni and i got the disk space exceeded message page...odd
 
Yeah, I got that message too. It was down from last night til about 5 hours ago.
