Sorry for the recent downtime. We ended up having some power failures resulting from a malfunctioning server chassis. The chassis was swapped and now we are good to go. thanks!

Recent Downtime: Apologies & Resolution
- Thread starter Greg Bernhardt
- Start date
In summary, the recent downtime on the site was caused by power failures due to a malfunctioning server chassis. The chassis has been swapped and the site is now functioning properly. Many thanks to those who helped resolve the issue. There were concerns about a possible hacker attack, but it was determined to be a natural cause. Additionally, there were issues with memory that have now been resolved, but it has been a bad week for hardware. Despite the downtime, some were able to use the break to focus on other tasks. Let's hope there are no further issues and the site can continue to run smoothly.
