Hello All! I'm terribly sorry for the 45 minutes of technical difficulties this AM. As you know, I'm part of Wendy Bell Radio, built her app and this AM, and the feed we run to the app for the Livestream was killed. It was killed by Twitch. Twitch banned Wendy at 9:05 AM EST this morning due to "violations of policy" five minutes into her 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM, M-F stream and radio show that's broadcast across the Country.We had to switch the live feed on the WBR app to Wimkin streaming on the fly. Her app gets 200k views during her streams and radio show. During this time, many of you probably saw "cannot connect to database," cannot connect to chat server," as well as experienced logouts and great latency in the apps and web as we were getting massive errors due to the server switch. We had to restart all servers and databases which would've caused all of the issues you had. When we do such, our servers immediately get bogged down as it automatically wants to log everyone back in that were logged out. At the time of the logouts, we had 517,000 active sessions so you can imagine the load on our servers when that many people login at once. Things might be just a tad bit slow for just a few more minutes. Once again, I apologize for all of this. It will not happen again. The timing of all of this should not be ignored. It's unfortunate that we are at war with everyone that sees free speech and all that Wimkin stands for, as a threat. Thank you so much for your understanding and I most humbly apologize for the bad experience this AM. 🙏
