My networks webserver, Firaga, went down fairly suddenly last night after a hard drive decided to fail. This caused the webserver to go offline, which also means the Java client is not available. Anyone still using the Java client should either wait it out til Saturday when this new drive arrives, I'm hoping to have the server back up by Saturday night, but I can't keep any promises. You can also get a hold of X-Chat or mIRC too, which will allow you to connect to the network without using your browser. Feel free to ask questions about this if you really want to get in and I'll support you as best I can.
Sorry all, but I am working on it.

All I got to say is, I guess I'm not the only one who had a bad day yesterday, so I can't complain. >>; My cable was out all day and I missed my weekly DnD game because of it, and I couldn't even watch TV either. D: OH THE TRAGEDY~
Seriously, though, that sucks. Here's to hopin' you get everything back together soon.

Back up, after a full 8 hours of maintainence. Because I don't have a method of restoration after something as unexpected as a hard drive failure happens, It required a full restoration, which included reinstalling the OS, installing around 264 extra packages, recompiling the kernel to accomodate for the virtualization layer and then editing tons of files by hand in nano (A Linux console version of Notepad, but better in my humble opinion), and mounting new hard drives and partitions, copying over old config files, and restoring the database server. Insane maintainence times, the price you have to pay for an impenetrable fortress of a server. >>
Anyway, Server is live again, which means you can now come along to the chat room using the Java chat client again.
Enjoy.
This can be unstickied again now.
