dssRookie SERVER up and running...

Here's the explanation why our SERVER went off-line for 23 hours...

Good thing is we're back up and running like clockwork now...

"Today, the HOST, was completely offline for several hours. The cause of the downtime was an overheating generator that had to undergo some emergency repairs. This morning before 9 am PST, a power transfer station literally blew up. This caused a massive power failure across most of the city, including the facility where we host our servers.

As planned, the UPS systems for the facility kicked in long enough for the generators to spin up. We had power until approximately 11 am PST (2pm EDT) when a generator overheated and failed. After some repairs, the generator has been brought back online and we are currently running on generator power.


The ETA for the city power grid to come back online is over 36 hours currently.

Sorry for the inconvenience, we will provide more details as they become available."

Yes it is a good thing, had me worried there for a bit. Hate the thought of losing Rookie as I can't say enough good things about this site.
Thanks for the Update!!
