The server locked up while I was asleep. Fixed it as soon as I knew about it!

Not enough visitors, so it was depressed.

At least one time that I know of, the site went in to update status and poor Mikey didn't even know about it, because it happened in the middle of the night or something, and it was in that state for a long time and then he finally realized it.  Sometimes updates and update cycles can activate without intervention of the administrator, or something weird can happen which can throw the site offline. Usually when it does that you either have to complete an update, or reset the system depending on what the problem is.

I think when that happened we were down for like 18 hours?  Maybe less but the fact is, even Mikey sometimes doesn't know when the site goes down and so it might take him a while to be able to fix it when he finds out, but usually if it's just a minor thing, he can just quickly push a few buttons and reset a couple of things and we're back up. This is why patience is always a virtue, because technology sometimes can be naughty, which means you have to be smarter than it, but sometimes even technology can get you if you're not sure what happened or why.
