Welcome back everybody. Sorry for the downtime - unfortunately the server suffered a hard drive failure, which took our server company a long time to fix. Then we had to go through the rigmarole of restoring the site.

Everything should be back to normal now - if you spot any quirks, please let us know.

It'll be another 24 hours before the Blitz site is back, due to the long time it's taking to upload the very large backup file.

If you want to be kept updated in the event that something like this happens again - please follow blitzbasic or monkey_mojo on Twitter.

Pfew... Invest in a RAID drive setup next?


matt(Posted 2011) [#14]
My thoughts exactly.


EdzUp(Posted 2011) [#15]
I would have thought that server companies run raid setups to keep everything going, to have it going down so badly doesnt put them in a good light to be honest.

I was scared and lonely.... :D
