Re: what happened?
Among other things Banda won the Zambian presidential by-election... Or were you meaning something specific?

Re: what happened?
Possibly that, or maybe the ~48-hour outage of the site and ABS server. Probably one of the two.

Re: what happened?
It was no more that 29 hours 26 minutes (and those are not made up numbers...). In short, a server crash while person with reboot access was in the middle of nowhere.

Re: what happened?
Wait, an Arch server crashed? Did you schedule Pacman to update with no confirmation?

Re: what happened?
Allan broke it, we just had to ban Allan from server access.
Oh look, my post count reflect the year I was born.
Cute...

That's a good point... it is running Arch isn't it Allan?

Actually, it's running Windows Server 2008.

No wonder there then 
we all know windows is bound to crash randomly just to annoy us 
Arch on the other hand doesn't crash, the hardware does

Re: what happened?
So I have a pretty big shared server . . . does AUR/ABS/archlinux.org need a mirror?

Re: what happened?
I definitely think the AUR should have mirrors... Google's cache and WayBackMachine can handle other stuff, like the wiki, but an AUR mirror would be nice.

Yes, because it's like the world going under when aur is down for 1-2 days every 3 years or so

This would be very useful.

It is
Yes it really is, I've never used irc before and when the arch page was down I did use it, like the end of the world
Oh and it wasn't just me ... everyone was starting to go postal without the wiki and aur.

Agreed ! I did the same 
I just needed my Arch fix. Woe was me, I chose that day to give up smoking!
I was NOT going to go cold turkey on Arch as well

Mm, I checked in on two days and noted that it was down. I must have literally checked in just after the crash and just before it came back up.
