Forum & Site Downtime

On Monday morning we had to take our website server offline and unfortunately this also deals with our DNS so it prevented rpgforums and rpgtraders from working too. They were reacable by using the IP address but how many people would know that? None The DNS part of the server is back up now, hence you reading this but worldofwar.net isn't back online just yet but Rush is working on that now and it should be within a few hours.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Thanks for the update Elly.

I was just signing up for a community outreach program to help me deal with the cold-turkey cutoff of my (multiple-times-per-day) WoW fix. At least now my hand will stop shaking.

Phew.

Now I can get back to absorbing information like a sponge. (A moldy sponge, but a sponge nonetheless.)

Well it seems to be going faster now. (Much faster... maybe thats because traffic is still somewhat low.) But no biggie.

I wish the forum was always this fast. :x

It's nice to know what happened to the site. Besides my assumption of it going BOOM.
