NOTICE: Major Power outage put server offline yesterday

Postby Zervun on Fri Jan 08, 2010 6:22 pm

Yesterday in downtown Portland where the server was hosted a power sub-station caught on fire, some 1200 gallons of mineral oil poured out and lit on fire.

The building is on the main hub of the west coast. It has 8 diesel 12,000 hp backup generators to keep all the datacenters up, however the outage was so long that they ran out of oil.

Server came back up around 4 - 5pm PST yesterday, however there were some DNS TTL issues.

Things should be resolving shortly (hense why some people can connect and some can't)

let me know if there are further issues.
