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.)

Thanks for the update, Rick. I was worried maybe Big Tech decided to cancel you or something. Sorry to hear of that power surge and fire. I figured all that high tech computer server stuff would have some kind of surge protection, but my knowledge of that sort of stuff is near zero.

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!  For the record: We are involved in zero, none, nada, zilch in terms of lawsuits. To be clear, that means as parties, witnesses, deponents, amicus freaking curiae - NOTHING! That is an unequivocal statement with no room for back-pedaling. Whoever spread that load of horsesh!t that we were/are involved in ANY lawsuit is a damned liar.

Well, with all this time that I needed to kill, I found out I was still married and had a Happy Easter with our boys and our granddaughter. Hell, I even actually worked at my job. What a concept.......

I searched 24hr campfire down and found that thread. Did that thread get nuked? I had it saved to show someone and it came up as does not exist.

Something must be going on in Mark Claiborne's (Safariman) personal life that he's not at all happy about now because after years of his Facebook page being viewable by the whole world he just recently changed it to viewing by his accepted friends only. Very much unlike him to not want the largest audience he can get.

I was afraid that the feds had located the secrete bunker where the Fire H.Q. was located and sent in Seal Team 6. Whew glad we dodged that one.

Rick Bin Rick, look at the terms. You might be able to cancel that billing within a certain time period.
