Whither Blogpatrol?

My counter's gone AWOL, and Blogpatrol's homepage is acting wonky. Things'll probably sort themselves out, but does anyone know what's going on?

No idea what's going on, but you're not alone. Mine is too. It does this sometimes, making me wish I'd chosen sitemeter, not blogpatrol.

You can use sitemeter anyway - you'll just have to start your counter over.

I also use extremetracking -http://www.extremetracking.com

Again - no counter, but lots of tracking goodness...

They're back... and they didn't keep statistics for the two days they were out.

In other words, THE TWO DAYS I HAD UP THE CARNIVAL AND MY HITS USUALLY GO UP BY 50-60 A DAY, they didn't keep statistics. Nice.

They're down again. This reminds me of that old song, "The Noble Duke of York."

When you're up you're up,
and when you're down you're down
And when you're only halfway up
You're neither up or down

(preferably w/a Scottish accent so that "down" is pron. "doon"

Tried to access stats today, and got this, blogged so it's in reverse-date order, quoted verbatim so this will be the longest comment I've ever left on your blog:

"March 25, 2006, 12:25 AM, Washington, DC - BlogPatrol is up and counting again, but the database continues to shut down once too many users try to access their stats. We have to disable access for the night so that the database doesn't continue to crash and corrupt the data. We will be working on additional modifications in the morning to get the system to work continuously with the preferred reporting method - so you don't have to click again and again to see each different type of report.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

March 23, 2006 - We discovered a problem with our database which may be the cause of the problems we have been experiencing these several months. We are investigating this now, and will post an update as soon as more information becomes available.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

March 21, 2006 - Our site is tracking stats again as of 8 pm EDT (New York City time). We will turn on access to the user reports within the next 24 hours. Thank you.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

March 20, 2006 - On Monday morning, March 20, 2006, BlogPatrol.com upgraded to a new server that unfortunately had a faulty hard disk. Our service and email are down right now because we are repairing the web pages and files that were damaged on the faulty disk.

Our database is safe and secure on a separate disk in a different server, however, we must fix the damaged files before we are able to get operational again.

We apologize for this interruption in service."
