In case any scheduled or unscheduled maintenance needs to be done to the server, we will post it in here so that everyone knows whats going on.

Seems it is down since last night's maintenance operation. We're now waiting on the awesome host to be back I believe. : P

i'm putting up a temp server now you will need to check your bookmarks and IP addresses to find it. No vault this moment so make new until I can get a more recent copy of the vault mailed over.

Bad bad news.
I moved the server, and got it up and operational.
I had the servers side open, cleaning it, asked my 10 year old brother (who was here at the time) to get me something to drink.
Well, he got something to drink, but tripped AND SPILT IT IN THE SERVER!!!!!!!
The liquid hit my motherboard, the drive controller, and the memory.
I shut everything down real fast, let it dry, then booted it up. It fried my drive controller card.
So, I put in my extra, and it booted fine. I went into the drive controller BIOS...... AND THE RAID10 WAS GONE!
All my videos, applications, ISO's, movies..... family pictures, wedding pictures, and all my operating systems (including the server and its backups)..... poof. :/
There is a good thing. The RAID0 did survive, and thats what the NWN Server drive was located at. I was able to save the vdmk file (VMWare virtual disk), and Im trying to open it up to get all of our files off of.
Problem is, it doesnt have a snapshot needed to open it. But, the drive was set to Independent -> Persistent, in VMWare, so the whiole drive is on the vdmk file.
As soon as I am able to open this and get the server off of it, we are in business.
However, I did lose all of my operating systems. When the server does come back, it will have a temporary OS on it until I can get my ISO's back.
If anyone knows anything about mounting a vdmk file outside of VMWare so I can grab the files, please by all means PM me any type of info you have.
I may have lost everything, but Im trying to make so yall dont.
