Hi Everyone,

We just experienced a period of downtime while one of our main database servers at Wealthy Affiliate went down due to hardware failure. This was really strange timing because we are actually planning a migration of Wealthy Affiliate to a brand new network tomorrow. This update is going to come with many back-end improvements including a brand new WA Chat. Today's downtime was not part of the plan as our migration should be seamless when it happens.

Moving to our new network will prevent such downtime in the future as we have a much more sophisticated setup where it will not matter if a hard drive fails, or if we have a RAM failure. We will be redundant and be able to handle major failures like this with little to no downtime at all.

I've been quiet in the past few weeks here at WA as I've been heads down on some nice new improvements to WA, Jaaxy, and Street Articles. I plan to get back into the swing of things publicly here at WA as we roll into some of the most exciting months of the year. Back to school, back to work, and the end of summer holidays means a lot more traffic online. People who have been holding off on purchasing over the summer months will be back in full force very soon! Exciting days ahead!

Thank you for your patience and support while we were down, and feel free to let me know how annoying it was not to be able to get into WA!!!

Cheers,

Carson
