We experienced a brief outage earlier this evening. It appeared to affect all the Burning Man domains, but now everything's back up and running on all the sites. We are still experiencing issues with the board forcing people to enter Captcha codes during login, regardless of whether you spelled your username/password correctly. The tech team is still working on that one, I'll keep people posted on that in this thread.
Thanks to the tech team for their assistance, and thanks to everyone for their patience.

Re: Outage 12/11-12/13
I'm also happy to report that you have not all been IP banned. Thanks to all who emailed me about the issue (with gold stars to those of you who mentioned what IP address you were trying to connect from), I've taken care of that glitch and you should all be able to log into the site again. Unfortunately, for the time being you will still be forced to re-enter a CAPTCHA code, but I'm hopeful that we'll get that resolved today.

Well that was fun!
Thanks for all your work at making it whole again.

Well imagine if any of you were as much an ass as me... you'd be worried it wasn't a mistake!

Re: Outage 12/11-12/13
And imagine the poor canuk who couldn't read american date formats.
The outage would have been three months long and opened a whole new question of a 13th month.
All those calendars I got in the mail would have been useless.

Sorry - I was in a rush when tending to the issue and responding to users this morning, and just put a -12 into the thread title. It's been a busy morning.

Frankly I was having fun with it -- pretty much alone, I supposed. But a part of my brain smiles in your direction now that it's been fixed.
It gets confused easily and fixates on details. Only a small part tho, fortunately.

i am disapoint. I read the title as "Outrage" and was hoping for popcorn worthy drama.
Pretend I said something truly hilarious here.

I keep making that mistake, too. Alas, it must be my drama-thirst...
