Internet Woes
Sometimes, you just can't catch a break. Last month, HBO moved to new digs - bigger pipe, better server, yadda, yadda, yadda. This morning, I received a phone call - the owner of the colocation company that HOSTED that new server had skipped town, and the datacenter was threatening to cut power for non-payment of bills. The sad part is, I'd done my homework - these guys came relatively highly recommended. :( Someone has stepped in to clean up the mess - so HBO won't be going down permanently... but there WILL be a day's outage this weekend (timing unknown at this point) to move servers to another facility nearby. Our forum runs on a different machine (and a different pipe), and isn't going anywhere, so if, by some weird fluke, something happens to keep the site down for longer than we thought, information will be provided there. Apologies for the inconvenience. (Louis Wu 15:36:46 UTC)
