For those who don't get the admin emails, here is a copy on the server status:
Nate wrote: Hi Folks,

I knew the run was too good to be true. We had been up for 56 straight
days without a minute of downtime and had just finished adding new members
when the system took a dive.

The problem is serious but is under control. Essentially, we have a raid
array on our machine and it is failing. It will require shutting the
server down and replacing drives to repair it.

In the meantime, I'm moving all of Keenspace to a server on the West Coast
and the move should be finished by about 3PM PST Friday if all goes well.

Then we'll come back up and I'll go to work (with the help of Kisai and
Kelly) at rebuilding Schlock (our current mostly dead server) and bringing
it back on line.

Thanks to the programming of Kisai, nearly all of Keenspace is database
driven which will allow us to bring up the system much faster tomorrow
once we finish transferring it.

Additionally, it means that we will be able to expand more easily and use
multiple servers. After we come back up, we'll remain on 2 servers
permanently and add more as fast as we can. We finally have the software
foundation that will allow us to provide much better uptime and really
increase the quality of Keenspace. Thanks Kisai.

I'm going to try and sleep some now while the transfer finishes.
Hopefully, it will finish without problems (meaning that the drive won't
fail before it's done) and we'll bring the Space back online tomorrow
afternoon.

Thanks a lot. Sorry for the problems.

-Nate

So now everyone is up to speed, ne?^_^

*says with much apprehension* So far it, seems that my site survived, and since I don't seem to get the admin. emails anymore, does anyone have a heads-up on what's happening with the schlock FTP and member log in?
On a seperate note, if their would ever be a paying version of keenspace (with the updating and archiving script) with customer service and all, I would love to sign up :D

You could just download AutoKeen Lite <a href="http://www.keenspot.com/downloads/">here</a> and set up your own site. *shrug*
