Welcome back DetroitYES members and audience.

We have recovered from our longest outage in over ten years. It began sporadically Sunday morning and went full down in the afternoon.

There is a chance that some posts made just prior to the crash have been lost. So if your post is missing please make it again.

These things just happen some time and it was our turn these past two days.

Carry on!

For us tech nerds:

The server hosting DetroitYES and SoulfulDetroit failed due to a rare hardware issue. This necessitated provisioning a new server and retrieving in data from the offsite backup. Differences in the new hardware required further tweaking.

Fortunately we have used RackAid, an outstanding small independent server management company for over ten years. They have been on top of this crisis from the first outages to the end, keeping us informed hourly of the challenges and progress.
