    Hi everybody,

    Our hosting provider has asked for more offline time today so that they can check other things about our server hardware and environment.

    We've told them to go "as soon as possible," but to try to be back online by 6pm EDT (today).

    Once we go down, we should be back within 3 hours.

    This is all in support of finding the cause of the small network interruptions we've been seeing (at least 13 times since Sunday!), which kick players at just the wrong time.

    I'm very sorry for the inconvenience!

    update 1: ~1:15pm EDT Downtime has just started.
    update 2 (final): ~2:55pm EDT We're online again.

    as much as i like to be pesudo afk while working from home, i totally get network stability being a huge priority. Is the sandlot still hosted at OVH?

    I believe c0w prefers not to publicly discuss internals, so I'll defer to him on this. :)
