After a rather lengthy and grueling outage, the site appears to be back up as of 5 AM ET. Whew!

Expect a more exhaustive timeline of what the heck happened later. If the site is still sluggish, it's related.

Glad the site's back! And while I'm at it, a very big thank you to you Seth, and TJ, for all the hard work you do making this site happen.

Thank god. I was wondering what the hell happened.

Doesn't help that another board I also frequent is down, as well. It's not vBulletin; it's Proboards. UGH!


EDIT: Oh lord...

There was a fire at Proboards' hosting service. While it appears no servers were damaged, the resultant power outage knocked down around 9,000 servers housed there. This is a temporary board where we can chat and keep in touch while repairs are being made. Once they are finished, this board and all threads will go away, and the original will be restored in its place.

Proboards is adamant that no data has been lost, and that all affected boards will be restored as soon as they can. Please be patient!

Poor vBulletin and poor Proboards!

The boards were certainly very peaceful over the last 36 hours.

The Sitcoms Online server is located in Houston, TX where there was an explosion and fire at around 6:45PM Saturday night. Over 9,000 servers and 700,000 sites were estimated to be knocked offline.

Thakfully, no one was injured and none of the servers were physically damaged. Power was restored early Monday morning.

Uh-oh. I wonder, is Proboards also located in Houston? That'd explain it. Glad to hear that nobody was hurt and that none of the servers were damaged.

The great sitcom fire! So many shows came back from after a fire, Happy Days, Family Matters, and now Sitcoms Online! I guess we have a new look like Arnold's did on Happy Days after the fire.

I was wondering what happend, I thought, Damn they've closed down my favorite site on the internet. I'm just happy there wasn't anyone hurt or any major damage and that it's back up and running again.
