Well everyone, as you probably noticed, we have been down basically for the last 24 hours. We had a major hardware failure on the server and we have been working closely with our host to get things back up and running since.

Unfortunately, to avoid any potential issues with data corruption and inconsistency due to these hardware issues, we have had to roll the database back a day. As a result, you may notice that some things you posted in the last day or so are no longer here. As well, if you signed up in this period your account is gone and you will have to sign up again. We apologize deeply for this inconvenience but it was absolutely a necessary action.

Everything should otherwise be solid and back at 100%. If you spot any strange things happening please let us know immediately either in this thread or in the support forum, and we will investigate as soon as we can.

So glad to be back!!!

Wheres the nearest magnum? That couldn't have possibly been a worst time lol.. Not only did it cancel out about 6 hours of tedious typing on my guide.. But also about 10 +1 votes were erased, talk about discouragement..

Here's a narrative of what this down-time did to me (I don't blame the admins, but it's a funny story):

Last night, 5pm ish (or about whenever the site went down)

"YES! My 3 hours of work finally paid off! My guide is complete!"

*after refreshing every 30 seconds for the next 5 minutes*

"YES! AN UPVOTE!"

*after refreshing every 30 seconds for the next 5 minutes*

"wtf? server down?"

*after refreshing every 30 seconds for the next 12+ hours*

"YAY! MOBAFIRE IS UP!"

*after finding this thread*

"omgee that means my build is probably gone!"

*after logging in with my ridiculously long, randomly generated password*

"where's my guide? FFFFFUUUUUUU-"

That's the horrible story of how 3 hours of hard labor went into pleasing one person for 5 minutes.

Sorry guys, as you can imagine it was a hair pulling day for us as well. Matt was up almost 24 hours trying to get things fixed with the host. He is sleeping now :P

Great work getting the site back up. It's really a pity that those guides were lost, but I think we should all be glad that the admins spent so much time and effort trying to get the site up as quickly as possible. Thanks!
