MINI Cooper Online is Down (updated)

Sections: Uncategorized Sep 11th, 2003 21 Comments

Update: I just talked to Mark and it looks like he'll be posting a statement later tonight about what has happened. For all those who had thought there could possibly be something sinister involved it was actually nothing more than a hardware failure.

Yes MCO is down. It appears to be a Database issue and nothing serious. This however has also crippled many club sites that are tied to MCO including the Chicago MINI Motoring Club site. That being said I expect it'll eveything backup within the day.

In the meantime if you need a MINI fix and have read all the recent stories on Bridger.us/MINI check out the archives :)

Sorry but as usual I've been terribly busy today at work. However I've got something ready to go as soon as I get a 5-10 minutes to spare. Sorry.

Of course MCO goes down when I'm super busy at work and can't post anything. Okay I'll throw out a stumble story so we can all get our one liners in… give me an hour :)

HA! I'm surprised that there aren't more refugees on your site yet, Gabe. I kind of thought that this would be the National MINI Air Raid Shelter.

Mark is now showing a message saying that his server went down. Probably a low blow from BMW Legal.

At any rate, there's more good information here at Bridger than at MCO.

It was simply a hard drive failure – nothing involving the legal situation in anyway.

Mark told me that the files he needs to restore everything are too large to email to him and he can't access it otherwise until he gets back from Kansas. So it could be another day until it's up.

Gabe Did you delete my post? Charles

Charles – No I don't believe I deleted it. If I did somehow it certainly wasn't on purpose. Please repost if you don't mind.
