The server that runs Apache had a CPU die. For some reason it didn't want to boot off just one CPU, which it's supposed to be able to do, so we were down till it got replaced. As Murphy could have predicted, it happened right before Christmas, so took longer than it should have to correct. But all should be well now. No hard drives went down, so there was no loss of data.
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas anyway

Just a quick note that you should all be very thankful to Link for being on top of this. The downtime could have been a lot worse! As it stands, we just forced you to spend some time away from the computer for Christmas. 
If you are a supporter or have purchased a classified, I've issued you a three day extension to compensate for the downtime.
Welcome back everyone!

Hope you guys had a good holiday without too many fuckers bitching at you about downtime.
