Temporary downtime, we're back

[Costello]

Hi everyone,
We have been down for the past 24 hours due to a hardware default on our server. This is caused by a known kernel issue that crashes the server and its remote control hardware (making it impossible to reboot without a physical intervention). The issue occurs when our uptime is too long... oh, the irony! Hey server, you might want to reboot every now and then...
I will remove this message from the homepage in the next couple of hours.
Sorry about the inconvenience caused! It's good to be back!
Costello

Temp downtime for the temp?

I must admit I was worried for a while. Afterwards, I just assumed that the Wii U, 3DS and PS Vita had all been fully hacked and the down time was caused by a massive surge of users flocking to the site to download the hacks. Imagine my disappointment when nothing of interest actually happened yesterday.

Glad you're back. I know a bit about servers and it sounds like you need some better remote control hardware. You can get kit that allows you to remotely control and view the screen of a server, even when it's switched off, and see all the BIOS screens etc. Such hardware should be completely immune from any software problems.

I am glad it was a simple thing such as that and not a compromise in security.

They need a serverbot.

If you want to know what happened to the temp when it is down, the easiest way is usually to join IRC, but you need to either have an external client or use this url: http://client01.chat.mibbit.com/?server=irc.gbatemp.net:4500&channel=#gbatemp.net
Of course it could be hard to find that link when the Temp is down, but still.
