For those of you who've been trying to get into YoungWizards.net

As if Peter's horsefly bite reaction wasn't enough to deal with right now, the power outages yesterday took out the data provider of Groupee, the firm that hosts YoungWizards.net and the Young Wizards discussion forums. Both site and forums have been down since around 5:30 PM EDT yesterday.

Most of Groupee's hosted sites are back up now, but our site and forums are hosted on a server which was hit so hard that the hardware failed. Groupee is presently replacing the hardware, and then both site and forums will be replaced from backups. 

I'll post something here as soon as things are running again. (BTW, YoungWizards.com and the Errantry Concordance are unaffected, though naturally the main page at YW.com isn't displaying the feeds of messages from the discussion forums.)

We just had a power outage. I'm happy to report that the new UPS powering my home machines apparently worked perfectly, though two of our servers here at work shut down.

(Yes, home and work are both on the same substation.)

Hope everything comes back to life okay!

Groupee is one of the worst forum systems I've ever seen, anyway ...

Whoops. Sigh......

BTW - what's the story on the Cat Wizards book in progress?
