Everyone calm down ... Support sent me an email saying that they deem the servers being down as solved. However, for some reason the forums still seem to be in Maintenance.

FYI - they do test it, for weeks.
I am a Dev, and I can tell you that at times, even very simple fixes that you test well, break 5 minutes after you roll them out in rather amazing ways some times, it happens, you fix it, and life goes on. =)

if thats the case you need to re-examine your test & release processes, start paying attention to how test escapes happen etc...

My guess is that they brought the server down for maintenance, but then got greeted with the message
"Installing update 02 of 247. Please do not shut down during this time."

Please God tell me they are not running this on a Windows server.

[Garth Erlam]

We aren't.

Also: sorry, and continue to #blamethegarth

They probably did test it, unfortunately, you can't test it on the equipment it'll be running on until....wait for it....you put it there.

A lot of companies actually put forth quite a bit of effort into making sure that their development environment matches their production environment so they do not have these types of issues.
