Hello everyone,
Many of you have been reaching out to me regarding the ongoing downtime on various alt-social channels. @riverhead has been on the top of this issue as we've been facing some minor bugs in recent times, causing a number of small issues on the platform.
With increased sign-ups on Steemit.com, we've been experiencing heavier load on our servers and recently we've been experiencing some database related issues as well. Our dedicated server is down at the moment. Nothing to worry about as it's being looked into but this might be a slightly longer downtime than we've seen in a very very long time.
I'll have a more comprehensive update on Steemit.Chat in the near future. Meanwhile, I thank you for patiently waiting till we get these issues sorted and the Chat is back online again!
I assure you that we will have Steemit's favourite communication platform up and running asap!
thank you for the update. I've tried to go on there a couple of times as I was notified I had a message. I got to write an initial response and then haven't been able to get back in there. Thank you all for all of your hard work.

Great work guys. There's been a lot of new users recently so I appreciate the extra work needed and load on the server this must have. I second the option of having a status page. It at least give people peace of mind that it's not working and to come back later. May stop the huge amount of traffic constantly refreshing the page also.

What's the chance of having a "status" page for all of Steem's services - so notifications like this are not necessary?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Indeed! Post it to steemit on GitHub. :)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Thanks for the suggestion.
I'd like to point out for regular users, posting a new feature request on GitHub may be a little too technical.
It's a shame there isn't a "suggestion" box or way for users to add new functionality requests and then have the community vote on it.
It think it's a worthwhile process to help support excellent development of features the community really wants.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

That's a very good idea... All services like this could link back to the status page to give it more views too

@firepower- Thank you for the update. As a newcomer, a minnow only 7 days old, I am trying to learn the ropes. I was afraid that I was doing something wrong due to which I was unable to get on the chat.
It is but natural to face such growth issues when the popularity rises fast and outpaces infrastructure. The exponentially growing popularity shows how great a job all of you at Steemit are doing! Kudos. Following you.
Am more into wildlife and nature photography as well as travel. I would be honored if you see some of my work and provide your valuable comments.
Regards,
A minnow (7 days and counting)
