| No rules covered that kind of problem. As long as it affected all the teams, I guess no rule would be needed.
When FAH goes on the fritz, I generally shut down the systems for maintenance, shut 'em down and enjoy the silence, or crunch a little SETI.
I think it's pure crap what happened to you with all those WU's. Stanford should have a backup for each one of their servers, all set to go with redundant data drives. You can't expect a server to run 24/7 and never have to shut down.
Hundreds of thousands of systems sending in results every week or two, and they can't keep a backup server ready to handle the load? Not good.
