We experienced a crash earlier tonight and I apologize to everyone who
was inconvenienced by it. Though it took about 90 minutes to track down,
we were able to isolate and fix the problem -- thanks to Roark and
several other members of IRE. (For those who want to know the technical
reasons for our crash, it was related to a MySQL freeze up.) No system
is perfect and we have enjoyed great stability since we've been open.
Perhaps it was simply our time to pay the dues to the silicone gods, and
now that we have we'll be good for another 3 years!

Penned by My hand on the 4th of Roarkian, in the year 185 CE.
