My number one concern with these (apparently) hardware problems is user data (primarily this means forum data; images are on a different server that’s working perfectly). I’ve confirmed that as safe, and it’s currently creating a fresh backup. Tomorrow morning I’ll be going in and more aggressively testing the components of the machine to try and figure out why it’s shutting down seemingly at random [insert Windows joke here].
Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that other than the extreme annoyance of not being able to access the system, there’s nothing to worry about and I anticipate being back online within 48 hours (if not less).

“It’s been almost 48 hours.. amagawd.”
Uhm.. is it me.. orrrr.. has it not even been 24 yet….

Don’t worry everyone I’m sure Shannon’s got it covered. Computers are just such… finnicky things sometimes.
Since the QOD is also down, I’ll answer questions here:
yes. sometimes. of course. not unless you are allergic. Once you turn 18. 10% works. Anal.
that should cover it.
Comment #55 alone is worth the outage. I feel better now.
No IAM is making me do my work….slowly….maybe this is a good thing
