I will give a summary of what happend:
IRC Goes Down, Tuesday.
At this point I begin tracking down my ISP. I located him once, but the server never came back.
Wednesday, I find his wife and she tells me she is going to fire up servers.
Thursday - Friday, unable to find anyone.. anywhere. Friday, PSU main goes down, then our Voice servers go down.
Saturday, My contact (Owner of the Company) is completly gone. His wife informs he he is gone. Nobody knows his location, and he didnt tell anyone. At this point I go into recovery mode and do everything I can to get our servers back into my hands.
Late Saturday, I hook up with a new ISP. He starts moving hardware to his rack down in the Ashburn,VA Datacenter. I delt with him on and off all night and early morning of Sunday.
Sunday, I got the new IP's and started all our DNS transferrs. Thats where we are now, welcome home :p
IRC is still unknown. We are not sure where that server is located, however my new ISP is trying to locate it. More news as it becomes available.

During the entire downtime, I only found one good post in the OFs.

You should contact the author and have it added to PSU. :)

Hamma's old ISP guy must've traded in his Admin Cert. One moment they're a Engineer, next they're trying to find out why they can't find the Liberator.
Welcome Back PSU.

As for the new design.. the downtime delayed it slightly. But it should be coming fairly quick. I've been working on porting all our content over to the new system today.

Oh come on. The OF Konried forum isn't THAT bad.
Well... ELH members are debatable... maybe...
But yeah. I avoided all but "Dev Tracker" posts on the other forums. How Spork keeps sane is beyond me.

We now have an IRC box, but it needs to be loaded with an OS and reconfigured. Will be a few days before we can bring it back online.
All nick and channel info will be lost.
