Archive of our Own (AO3), the popular site where fans publish and read stories about their favorite characters and worlds, has bad news for its community. After going offline for what was supposed to be routine overnight maintenance, the site says it could stay online for almost a whole month.

Archive of Our Own (AO3) 是一个深受粉丝喜爱的网站，用户可以在这里发布和阅读关于他们喜爱的角色和世界的同人故事，但该网站近日向其社区发布了坏消息。在进行了一次本应是例行的夜间维护而下线后，该网站表示其离线时间可能长达近一个月。

“We estimate that service restoration for AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks,” the AO3 status page says. “We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner.”

“我们预计 AO3 的服务恢复大约需要 2 周，但也可能长达 4 周，”AO3 状态页面显示，“我们希望能够尽早以受限状态恢复网站运行。”

AO3 is a project of the nonprofit Organization for Transformative Works (OTW), which relies on volunteers and donations to keep the site afloat. The site has such a passionate user base that, within two hours of the announcement, its status page’s posts had garnered millions of views (and much panicked commentary) across social media.

AO3 是非营利组织“转型作品组织”（OTW）的一个项目，该组织依靠志愿者和捐款来维持网站运营。该网站拥有非常热情的用户群，公告发布后仅两小时，其状态页面的帖子就在社交媒体上获得了数百万次的浏览量（以及大量的恐慌评论）。

Some fans may suspect this issue is related to last week’s “PHP Armageddon,” when tools from OpenAI and Google Wiz uncovered two critical flaws in PHP, the programming language that runs the behind-the-scenes software of about 70% of the internet. But AO3 is not among that majority. Instead, the site is built on a different framework (a toolkit for running websites), Ruby on Rails, so the outage is unlikely to be related.

一些粉丝可能怀疑此问题与上周的“PHP 世界末日”有关，当时 OpenAI 和 Google Wiz 的工具发现了 PHP 中的两个关键漏洞，而 PHP 是支撑互联网约 70% 后台软件的编程语言。但 AO3 并不属于这大多数网站。相反，该网站是基于另一种框架（运行网站的工具包）Ruby on Rails 构建的，因此此次中断不太可能与该事件有关。

OTW and AO3 did not immediately reply to requests for comment. We’ll update this article if we learn more.
