Hi Folks,
We're very sorry to any of you who tried to get here this afternoon and weren't able to. Apparently our webhost had a major malfunction (to say the least) and we were incapacitated for approximately six hours. Here is the official notice:
Official post-outage notification
From 1:32 PM EST to 7:17 PM EST, We experienced a massive fiber-cut, when MCI-owned and operated OC-48 and OC-12 fiber strands, including a trunk terminating into our primary datacenter, were accidentally cut by VA Department of Transportation (VDOT) in Northern Virginia. Our MCI-operated circuits arrive at our building through a collapsed trunk, despite dozens of miles of protected fiber on our local ring. The cut was so close to our primary datacenter in McLean, VA that it affected this portion. Circuits on order are confirmed to be on a separate ring coming into the building from a different location. More details will be made available as they become known.
Thank you,
-The Network Response Team
Again we're sorry, thanks for your patience and welcome back!! :)
