+MissJenn Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Additional info was also sent out via the Weekly Mailer. Here is some of that text: Website Downtime Wednesday, May 4 ... You may or may not be aware that Groundspeak's servers are powered by hamsters.* We are adding several additional hamsters to the mix**, which should fix website service issues. Groundspeak products will go offline around 9 am Pacific Daylight Time (UTC/GMT -7 hours). We are not sure how long it will take to complete the upgrade; we estimate 4 to 6 hours, but it may be more or less. We will be providing updates on the 4th via Facebook and Twitter. When the Groundspeak products come back online, Geocaching.com will have an updated look and the website performance will be improved. *Our servers are not powered by hamsters **Upgrading our database server Do you subscribe to the Weekly Mailer?
