YWS crashed at approximately 11pm GMT January 23, and again at 12:30 am GMT January 24. Unfortunately, I have no information at this time regarding what caused the crash. The first happened when I fell asleep while watching American Restoration, and the second happened while I was eating dinner. I don't know if the problem was on YWS' end or on our hosting provider's end.

However, I suspect it's the latter. I've reviewed the server logs, and there was no unusual activity at the time of the crash. Plus, the first crash was displaying a HTTP 500 error (internal server error), which would mean something went wrong with the server itself rather than with the website.

Anyways, we're switching hosting providers in a couple weeks:

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
