News We're back!

Adam · 01-15-2020, 12:03 PM - **7 Likes**

It looks like the large network outage which kept the forum offline for the past ~14 hours has been resolved, and we are now back! Apologies for the disruption. As far as I'm aware, the server was running the whole time, so things should be right where they left off, with no data loss.

I'll post an update with further details as they become available.

Welcome back, everyone... Don't know about you, but I felt like a part of me was missing today

Lucky it didn't happen while the competition was running. There would have been more than just shaky fingers!

Woot!

Thought it was down for just me and my computer last night.

Glad to see it's back up and running.
