Earlier I posted that the node crashed. it was running a lokijs database. We're switching over to a mongodb database that harpagon had already built, had running for a while, and was ready to go anyway. So, it wasn't intended maint, but since the site was down already we've taken to upgrading the site to the new database. Should be able to scale much better than the loki one (diskspace rather than ram... sound familiar?).
Plan is still to add nfts, and update the website. Hopefully getting some parts of that visible by Steemfest. We'll see. Neat things are happening. They're just VERY SLOWWWWWWWwwwwwwww... Open source has a unique set of challenges.
Scotbot is effected too. We're working on getting that moved over now as well. It takes some work in addition to switching the api endpoint. So, we're looking into it. I think should be working again this weekend, but it will have it's own downtime today as well. Enjoy the outside world. Call your friends and family. They seem like nice people.
