Back from the abyss

[Costello]

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.

i have a server too and i've never ever heard of something like this especially if it does it every 6 months?! maybe time to move?

 

[Closet Nerd]

DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN.

...i'm kidding. It's out of your control ofc.

 

[DinohScene]

Oh how I missed temp <3

 

[Magsor]

This is awesome. Everything is intact.

These (very few and far between) downtimes make us appreciate gbatemp more whan it gets back online. At least for me. Cheers, Costello!

 

[FireGrey]

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.

 

[iluvfuzz]

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?

 

[Yumi]

Yay!
~quickly posted something before Costello obliterates this~

 

[Costello]

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)

 

[Jiehfeng]

Woot! Missed this place.

 

[Sicklyboy]

Glad to be back. Glad this place is back.

I was a little bored.

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
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
