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 🙂
<p>ARRRRRGGGGHHH!!
(getting the shakes)
Withdrawl hurts…</p>
<p>I need a hit! Who's got a hit?!?!? (shakes) Gotta find one!!!!!</p>
<p>Wow this sucks… I am bored outta my mind. Guess Ill go motor for a bit…</p>
<p><a href="http://www.chicagominiclub.com/">CMMC</a> is up for me. Do you just mean that the forum is down?</p>
<p>There is always MINI2.com…………..;)</p>
<p>The CMMC site just went up. it was down since lastnight.</p>
<p>I have been waiting all day for you to post something, Gabe. What the hell are we supposed to do while we're at work?</p>
<p>Oh yeah……….work.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Still down….sigh.</p>
<p>Oh, this is painful, isn't it? I miss my MCO Clubhouse! Waaaaaaah! Tee hee!</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
<p>So…how about that Stumble?</p>
<p>:D 😀 :D</p>
<p>BADA CHING!</p>
<p>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 :)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>“Attention! In case of future MINI emergencies of any sort, gather at bridger.us/mini !”</p>
<p>Mark is now showing a message saying that his server went down. Probably a low blow from BMW Legal.</p>
<p>At any rate, there's more good information here at Bridger than at MCO.</p>
<p>[shrug]</p>
<p>It was simply a hard drive failure – nothing involving the legal situation in anyway.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.roadfly.com/mini" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.roadfly.com/mini</a> might get more traffic today….</p>
<p>Gabe, any word on how the MCO re-boot is going? I'm getting…pardon the term…antsy! Tee hee!!</p>
<p>TIA….</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Gabe
Did you delete my post?
Charles</p>
<p>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.</p>
