Downtime 7/17
Our host had a routing issue affecting parts of the US and EU causing about 6 hours of downtime today for people. Their Level 3 uplink had a fiber issue, and they informed me that they switched it to Telia instead for now to mitigate, it just took a bit for the route to update.

RE: Downtime 7/17
Thank you for the update, and the work you put in!

I feared we were hacked, because I got a spam message informing me about a new post in the HPE and Itanium sub forum.

It was even in german, so I expected the the worst.

Glad our forum is up again!

That appeared to be something different and I was really surprised that it got through three layers of security.

RE: Downtime 7/17
Thank's for clearing up the forum!

You guys are probably the best admins on this planet. Quick reaction, and open communication, no matter what the time is.

At least it looks like that from Europe.

There's a lot of things I don't talk about when they don't concern users or affect usability that much but in general I try to keep it as transparent as possible because of how easy it is.
