:( I went to bed about 10mins before this thread (at 0110am) but unfortunately there is a major power issue at the Data Center and the server is still offline.

Yeah still down. We used Discord last night. You can get it here if you are looking for something: https://discordapp.com/

Its a free server hosted solution, that seems a bit better than Raidcall.

Hmmm, we need to get some of the NSA employee's playing using FG, then they can make sure the TS server never goes down. :)

Just checked again as well and the domain is still not resolving to a live IP.

If anyone needs a temporary solution in the meantime feel free to send me a PM and I can create a sub channel for you to use on my TS3 server.

Hey guys - sorry - been stuck on jobs on site.
There has been a major issue at the data center. Knocked all their power offline, once power came back online the HVAC couldnt cope. I dont know if HVAC was damaged or the air temp had just risen too high during the power outage or whether its the extra heat that 6500 HP servers generate on startup when they first power on and run at 100% while they self test... details are still thin.

The server was powered on for a period of time but then was shut down by the DC (along with large numbers of other servers) to allow the HVAC to catch up. Its been a pretty big disaster at the DC and their is no ETA as to when this rack will be switched back on again.

Sorry folks.

Yeah, seems to be a poorly run one if they can't get back on line by now. I still can't connect.

If it is the provider I believe it is, they are a very low-cost & high density provider. I wouldn't say it's poorly run, rather they choose to make certain sacrifices in design to achieve a lower cost. Things like multi-homed tier1 upstreams, and multi-staged N+1 or N+2 redundant power is expensive; also the same goes for redundant cooling systems. As such they don't offer uptime statistics or guarantees.

I was going to check this out, though it looks like sticking with Hangouts might be the better way to go.

To be fair, this was the only significant outage we've had in years/

Hey Mask_of_winter,

by "we" do you mean that you work for the DC, or "we" as in the FG community? Either way, I agree that it's not a big deal especially considering it's something that is being provided to the community as a courtesy from other members of the community.

Well played sir, I'll grant you advantage on your next saving throw against DC's power outage. Also a Marvel guy myself... looking forward to Deadpool.

Have a good night,

The DC had a major fault develop on their power, it caused an outage of something like 6-8 hours. During that time the heat in that part of the DC rose (even though their servers are off the floors above and below are not and there is still a lot of other equipment running). Once the HVAC was brought back on line it had a lot of work to do to bring the temp down to normal levels and with 6500 servers being powered on it could not do that.

It is a major screwup but these things do happen sometimes. They are a low cost DC and for the most part pretty reliable. The issue is still ongoing for a small number of devices. It will be interesting to see if they are able to make changes to prevent this cascading fault from re-occurring as Im sure they have suffered some real reputational damage.

Im sure its the same DC that you are referirng to PoppinFRESH.

Sorry folks I didnt update this thread - only the main one - the server has been up for almost 4 days.
