On Easter Sunday, the data center where our server is located suffered:
A power surge, which caused
A power outage, which caused
Backup generators to deploy, which caused
A fire in one of the backup generators, which caused
Fire sprinklers to come on.
News from the datacenter was slim, except to tell us that they were awaiting a city inspector on Monday to approve turning the power back on.
Unfortunately, that bit of info caused us to stand by and wait for our current server to get turned back on, which we hoped would be imminently.
As it turns out, there was more water damage at the data center than originally let on, and this morning we received the message:
"Unfortunately, this server appears to be in the section with a high probability of water damage. So it will need to be physically inspected before it can be powered on.
I'm afraid that we do not have an ETA for repair at this time."
I sure wish I would have known that Sunday or Monday!
Anyway, with that news, we decided to put our contingency plans into effect immediately. The good news is that we have a safe backup. Since this morning's news, we have deployed a new dedicated server, and we are in the process of configuring it and loading the backup. That should take ~24hours. We will lose a few hours worth of data ... the period of time between the backup and the server crashing ... but at this point I have made the decision that we cannot wait any longer to be back online, especially in light of the not-so-encouraging ETA.
We thank you for your patience. The clock is now ticking on a (belated) quick return.
UPDATE: And just as soon as I ran my card on the new server, bam, we're back up at the old datacenter ... (so no data loss ... everyhting up until the moment the datacenter went down is preserved.)

Larry Root crowing about it was down due to a "pending lawsuit" regarding himself and Claiborne was obviously another of his far fetch LIES and a cry for attention!

I knew if I attempted to upload my trophy elk kill pictures it would crash your site, and it did.

bet some of these guys were jonesing. Half the people here paid for a telephonic appointment with their therapists, and were told to double up on their meds.
