Just a quick word to apologize for the downtime over the past 1-2 days. There is unfortunately a recurring hardware failure on the server (every 6 months or so) which causes the power supply to fail, which means we're down until the hosting company sends someone to manually restart the machine. Once again the failure occurred on a week-end which further delayed the restoration of service. Note: this thread will be removed from homepage in the next few hours.

It's almost as if he didn't explain exactly what happened in the very first post of the thread that's explicitly dedicated to explaining what happened.
Huh.

I wondered what happened. You guys poofed. Glad you guys are back up and running.
Gahars my friend, may I explain the meaning of the past tense?
iluvfuzz wondered what happened, until (s)he read my post. Huh.

Gahars I was using it in the past tense as in before I saw the post I had wondered what happened.
Oh well I always find your posts amusing.

If this is a recurring server issue why haven't you address it yet?

Because it is a hardware issue.
The only alternative is changing servers altogether. It's something I am considering, but I do not have the time yet :)
It will be done eventually (and obviously, changing servers would mean some downtime too, as little as possible though)

they must be using some pretty crappy hardware than i've been using a server for nearly 10 years and never once heard of this happening :O
yeah if that's going to happen every 6 months and their too stupid/lazy to fix it i'd toss them. the downtime would be worth it ^_^
