Gameboy: I suggest you check the crontab for the computer with that file that got deleted back on October 13th. I suspect there's something there that's deleting the same file every month now on the 13th, seeing as how this problem recurred this month.

That's all for now.

This is ANOTHER non-falicy from my side. Last month it was the server's fault - and this month I once again must accuse the server. I haven't touched the server when it broke. I'm about ready to look for answers - I'm going nuts with the server breaking down every month. It harms the hits we get, and when external events happen like this, I just go nuts over it. Of course I'll leave the door open for an event we did - but I'm just not seeing it.

OK... what happened at 2:43am eastern, 0743 GMT today? GB9

It's almost certainly the server.

I've mailed Zach asking if he knows what's wrong. He was able to fix it last time, and this looks much the same as last time.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Incidentally, maybe now is a good time to subscribe to the new mailing list / web board thingy...

I wasn't blaming you, Gameboy. On the other hand, I didn't know you didn't have a way of checking what I mentioned (that every month, on the 13th, the file that was missing last time gets "hidden")... I thought you did, and I was just asking you to check that.

Speaking of which, did anyone check that? :-)
