As you saw, we had a bit of downtime. After receiving note the forum was down, I contacted our host, and as it turns out there was some technical difficulty at their end, which caused the server our VPS is hosted on to crash. They got things back up and running within a very short time (thanks, guys!), but unfortunately, during the crash, some of the database tables for EntropiaPlanets ended yup in a corrupt state (which sounds worse than it is. It's a common thing to happen when a server crashes). At the time that became apparent, I was stuck in a train, so I could not address the issue until I got home. Everything is fixed now, though, and we're happy to be back :)
I was actually in the forum when it happened, so I knew something wasn't right, but I'm glad that it wasn't serious, and that we're back operational again. Thanks for being on top of things, once you were off the train.
