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!
