@6:21 pm EDT:
We are currently experiencing a network outage which is affecting multiple servers.
Our host, The Planet, has said that there is an "electrical problem" at their H1 data center and that emergency crews are on site.
While I don't want to speculate because we have not received any solid information at this time, but it sounds to me like there may be a fire at that data center.
If we do not have a significant portion of these servers back online by tonight we are going to look into alternate options for getting these servers back online (e.g., purchase new servers and transfer data from our backup server).
@8:18 pm EDT:
We have compiled and submitted a list of servers to be moved from The Planet's H1 data center and submitted our request to have servers moved as soon as possible.
It is expected that after this move and we have our DNS updated that it may take some time for the DNS changes to propagate. This means that we will be setting up a temporary alternate domain for forums to use so that they can access their forums. More details on this to come when we are closer to having these servers back online.
