...and a big explosion.

If anyone is wondering where all of our servers disappeared to, there was an electrical fire and explosion in the Houston data centre Saturday afternoon which effectively knocked the whole building offline as there was no power, and the fire department ordered the generators disconnected.

As you can tell, the centre now has power and we are once again online with all sites functioning, including the IRC. So - welcome back. <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

I was wondering what happened. I tried to sign up and you guys had disappeared. Glad to hear all is well.

Thank you RJ - and welcome to the KillaNet Community <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

We are expecting more intermittent outages as the electrical room is repaired at the data centre, but that hopefully won't happen for another week or so, and most likely late on a Saturday night. We will be offline when that happens, as they will be reconnecting us to the regular power source instead of powering everyone off of generators. It was a harrowing experience, but at least no one who works at the data centre was injured, and the fire/explosion wasn't as bad as it could have been. We were lucky and didn't sustain any damage to our equipment - that we've found yet, anyway.

wow, its pretty freaky that this kinda thing still happens, lol

hopefully when everything is back to normal i'll be able to login again to my ftp space, lol

We're back!? <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

Yes we are - remember that we have also moved killanet to the new server, so you will need to update any auto-connects on irc scripts as the IP has changed. Join to irc.killanet.net
