Site Downtime (May 2016)

Here's a brief recap of what I know:

Mafiascum's server went down unexpectedly on Saturday. Mith may have more details on why. All I know is the server came back up in the early AM today. Unfortunately it seems like it was shut down abruptly. This caused a lot of the database tables to become corrupt, which is why the board was only partially available until a few minutes ago. We had to run some repair operations which took a fair amount of time. Those are now complete, so we should
(famous last words)
be up and running without any data loss.

Questions? Let us know here.

Thank you for all you do, Kison. We are lucky to have you.

Are there any truths to the reports of catnip being found in the server rooms?

Was it a Tiger attack? I'm assuming it wasn't maintenance at least.

Also apparently there was a temporary forum where MS people went to when the site was down, and I was uninformed about it? :(

Yes. For future reference, that temporary forum is here. There are also a few social media avenues where you can find that link or mass panic when the site goes down (e.g., Twitter, Reddit, Facebook).

How long will the temporary forum be used now that the site is back up?

Also I just realised I hadn't missed much of the party as the users only joined 24 hours ago.

The temporary forum has been there since 2009. It will presumably become dormant, as all good bunkers do, until the next time we fail in our vigilance against the tiger threat.
