Hello, as most of you might have experienced, All The Tropes (well Orain) has barely been accessible for over the past few days. Our loadbalancer (prod10) which spreads the traffic among the three MediaWiki servers we have, stopped serving users who do not use IPv6. The cause is unknown, but we suspect a DDoS (around the time prod10 started to have issues, an inbound DDoS (or something similiar) hit prod10). We suspect that DigitalOcean after that cut off prod10, which resulted into downtime. FastLizard4 (one of the sysadmins) and me discussed how to get Orain back up, and after a while, All The Tropes was brought back online at ~07:00 AM (UTC+0) today, and all Orain wikis were confirmed online at ~10:45 AM (UTC+0) today.

Some of the current traffic is still routed through prod10, I don't know why, but since no one told me they still are having issues with accessing Orain, I won't really look into that. I'll keep you updated as necessary. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for the patience. [[Tech:Incidents/2015-05-21-routing|A report is available on Meta]].
