Back Online (For Real This Time) - Oni - 03-21-2019
Officially Back Online (For Real This Time)
After several hectic days, we're officially back online (for real this time). I appreciate everyone's patience, as I hated the downtime just as much. The majority of the downtime I was waiting on our hosts, so I apologize it took us longer than usual to come back. Moving forward, there should be no issues. This server should also be an excellent upgrade from our last. As always, I recommend joining our IRC and Discord to keep up to date with news.
Short recap:
- Our original host shut us down due to abuse complaints. Little/no information given. I waited 2 days, to give them a fair amount of time to respond. As of now, we still have no reply.
- I set us up on a VPS, while I ensured our database and everything was okay. No data was lost. The VPS didn't have enough power to support a site of our scale, so I ordered a new dedi.
- New host took 2 days to set up the dedicated server, which I hadn't anticipated. I spent this morning moving everything over and configuring things. Everything works.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
If you have any questions or concerns, message me or post below.

We've been online 6 years, 6 days is just a speck of sand in the hour glass.

I've made the Discord public again, in the event this happens again (it won't).
