I’ve just had a chat to Aaron (aka Snicker) over at Airsoft Retreat about their site downtime, as lots of people have been asking me what’s up and I didn’t have a clue
The latest is thus.. their server died on Thursday, and the IT fellow that deals with the server locally was meant to reset it on Friday but is now out of town. Basically their hardware can’t keep up anymore, so they are currently building a new server and hope to have things back online sometime today (fingers crossed).
Update (01/02/05): Airsoft Retreat is back online. There’s a statement about things on the main ASR news page:
I am VERY sorry for the downtime lately. It has been very unfortunate but we are making steps to greatly improve things. The server is back online but over the next few weeks performance may be very slow and the site may not respond at all. After two weeks, we should be finished with our hardware upgrade and we can put all of this behind us.
Thank you for being very patient as we handle our growing pains. Snicker, (Airsoft Retreat)
