Exclamation Site Back Online

After nearly 9 hours of downtime, the site database has been repaired and everything is back to normal! We apologize for the inconvenience; however, the errors were caused by an unexpected technical problem in the datacenter that was out of our control.

What caused the problem is that at about 6:30 PM MST yesterday, one of the server racks in our datacenter faced an unexpected shutdown. This massive reboot operation also affected the server which hosts our site, and as a result, several forum database tables were corrupted due to incomplete data inserts at the time of the shutdown.

I have since both repaired certain tables myself, and also contacted the server technicians to make sure everything else was working properly. Please report any further errors you may encounter in this thread- though there shouldn't be any.

Once again, my apologies for the downtime.
