Correct. The transition saddled us with some dodgy hardware, but we didn't realize HOW dodgy at first (you'll notice that at first it might go down for a minute or two). hohum is working on the short-to-mid-range solutions, and Reds are looking at what can be done longer-range. It's been the plan for a while to get Reds more direct server control so we don't have to rely on hohum's busy schedule all the time.
The downtime from the bad hardware should be past us now - the hard drives have been transferred into a new machine by the onsite techs. Testing still is ongoing obviously, and there may be a reboot or two for configuration purposes, but people should be able to go about their games and arguments again with confidence.
