Title: Was there an explanation for the outage?
Post by: Sincraft on June 11, 2009, 07:30:30 AM
Just wondering. 
Haven't been subscribed to many services that didn't post a reason behind a service outage in a news area or on the front page of their site. 

I did read on another thread that there were storms...again, I must say I've never subscribed to a service that didn't have redundancy on top of redundancy...

Were there larger issues at hand (Like the ISP got zapped?)

I can't imagine that Hitech doesn't have a serious backup system install. 

?????

I doubt Hitech has his own private internet

I think the OP just wants an official news announcement when the servers go down.  Nothing unreasonable about that.

Although the weather is likely to blame, they do have one of their best techs looking into the situation...

skuzzy was not to blame this time.
They had a tornado go through and lost power.
HiTech and Pyro beat feet to the office, but with the power outage, the electric security doors would not open.
He came in game and 'splained it all. Said he was about ten minutes from going through the window.
I thought it was dam good service, even though he didn't call me to say what they were going to do while in the car on the way to the office.

Thats what I do for a living, sounds like they need an UPgrade....mayhap we could trade it for P47-M......(or get backup power supply for control side that exceeds same for the locks)
