    Although the downtime was no fault of my own, I apologize. The details are below.

    The Story

    About 6 months ago, the server my sites are hosted on transferred hands to one of my friends (business deal). He informed me of this and sent me my new login information. During this time, I made numerous changes and updates to the guild forum (and several other sites). As many of you know, the site stopped responding Saturday evening. After approximately 17 hours of the site being down, I called my friend to see what was wrong (and if he knew anything about it). For a few minutes, neither of us could figure out what the problem was because his site still worked (supposedly hosted on the same server). He then did a whois search for my domains and realized I was using the Domain Name Servers of the old host (he never told me I needed to change them). My old host's site went down as well. I updated the DNS on my domains and waited for his site to come back up so I could hopefully access my old control panel. His site came back online Monday evening and I began downloading the backups and transferring the data. Although I am not finished with all of the updating, the guild forum is back to how it was, so as far as you guys are concerned, all is well. Enjoy.
