Boom

Posted at 5:08PM on Monday, June 2, 2008 in rfma.

Just a little after 6PM eastern time on Saturday, May 31, all our internet services went offline here at rfma.net, wbcq.com, wbcq.org, wbcq.biz, wbcq.us, 975pirateradio.com, pmlol.com, screwballsquirrel.net, splatterbox.us, mainesearchlight.com, and zirklereunion.org. That is, the web servers were down, mail forwarding was down, and everything went completely quiet.

Our hosting provider suppered an explosion in their main power system that crapped out our domains, as well those of tens of thousands of other customers. We were offline until about 3:45PM on Monday, June 2, when the servers came alive again. We'll be keeping an eye on the planet's maintenance log and wish them well in recovery.
