Open Thread and Board Status
The PPMB and SFMB are down, so you folks might as well post here.
Update from Gamer via Greybird, Tuesday, 11:45 pm (Pacific time):
The engineers at the PPMB/SFMB Web host are doing what’s apparently an emergency motherboard swap. Not minor surgery, in other words. It’s expected to be done in 1 to 3 hours, thus by early Wednesday (U.S. time). Hardware engineers aren’t readily available during the night hours, thus the delay.
The Websites’ accounts are capable of being “restored from the weekly backups on our spare server, just in case the data is not retrievable even after the motherboard is replaced.” In the worst-case scenario, a backup restore, it’s another 12 to 24 hours of downtime, that is, until mid-day to late-night Wednesday (U.S. time). Some recent postings may be lost if a backup is used.
