Empornium News - Downtime

We'd like to apologise for our current downtime, which has been caused by a hardware failure.

Unusually this hardware failure is a burnt out disk, but a failed AirCon system. The lack of cool air caused our database server to overheat and eventually go into thermal shutdown. Those of you who have experienced a thermal shutdown before know it's pretty much akin to pulling the plug with all the collateral damage that can cause.

We're happy to report the server is nice and cool again and we're working as quickly as we can to complete the disk and database consistency checks to ensure the site's stability.

TL;DR? Hold on while we fsck our server.
