Just a announcement that the email server that supports notifications is currently down and we will let you all know when it is back up and running.

Is everything OK? The forums went offline two nights in a row and things were a bit weird a couple hours ago too.

I wasn't able to submit replies, statuses or check notifications at all before noon. Could that be related?

So basically, the server got borked and it was fixed after awhile.

Though I'm pretty sure this is for the site and not for the email server that Jeric mentioned above.

Yes, everything's fine. We just had a mishap regarding an outage on another part of the node that required a server restart. When it came back up, a couple of important files got caught up in the mess. Everything should be back to normal now, though we're looking at how to minimize various problems in the future and a possible solution to prevent what happened to cause the outage earlier from happening again.
