As of 4:00pm central time we are  down due to a hardware failure.

It will be a minimum of  2 hours before we may be operational.

We apologize.

It looks like it is the scuzzy board on the drive array. Requires a physical move of the cable to the redundant interface. The server is about 1hour 3 mins drive.

Lets roll play fighting while the servers down.

I jump in a P-38G and take off, heading northeast climbing at a liesurely 2000fpm.  As I climb out, I look left, then right, then back, up and around...  head ever on a swivel.  From afar, a high dot appears.  I keep my concentration on him as I level off my plane, picking up speed...  In an instant the bogey is a bandit and icons verify it's an LA-7, he appears to be roughly 15,000 feet, just below the cloud layer.

I notice he spots me and quickly drop my tank, getting light and picking up more speed.  The LA has all the advantage and I start to set myself up to break out of a straffing pass...  an instant later I hear the sound of Bee's buzzing as the LA streaks past my cockpit at 550mph guns blazing in a High angle forward pass...  his guns miss, but he manages to ram off my tail as he goes careening into the side of a nearby mountain.  I too tumble from the sky.

wil3ur:200:  Nice Ram Jackwad!!!!

Just as good as the real thing!

And yes, we are much more amused with this bit on information than annoyed that HTC had a little bit of down time after all these years.   :aok

Dale,

Take the gang out for a round at the pub once all is settled down and then send the bill to the s....y guy.  :cheers:

heck, I would divide the repair bill/hourly cost up among all the AH Players that decided to call and ask what's up after hitech had posted the server is down message to the boards in 2 or 3 different areas.......

people just don't read, I guess

hope the enormous un needed phone calls have receeded at HTC

it's a bummer.  I've been on the other side of this from a systems stand-point.  Patience always wins.  I see the outage expectation has been extended.

Please be patient, I'm sure it'll get fixed.

 OK. Here's the real story as pieced together by the HTC crash reconstruction team. Cutter56 lifted a set of B-29's from a Field near the edge of the map. While waiting for them to climb he wandered off to fix himself some gumbo.
Unfortunately, the armadillo meat in his gumbo had gone a bit gamey and before he could get out of the bathroom his bombers flew off the edge of the map and banged into the side of the server, knocking it over. Oh the humanity.
