So... for a few hours tonight (some geek somewhere is going to know when exactly) HW was completely, utterly and totally unavailable to me and all other HWers that I talked to. Being of insatiable curiosity: does anyone know what happened?

(This is the thread for everyone to come chatter on and discuss theories until Jay gets up to resolve the issue.)

The first thing I thought of was, "Dieki is at it again!" But I have been recently informed that it was a stunt pulled by rebel forces...

... or, something like that. :roll: :D

Most of the time when I got on, the screen was blank, but sometimes it informed me that the host server was down, or something like that.

Yep it wouldn't load anything for me either, so I went and tried it on my sister's computer and it wouldn't work there. The Sci Fi side also didn't work.

It must have been a server maintenance spat or something. Make sure there was no data lost.

I couldn't get onto HWF or HWSF. But I haven't noticed any lost data.

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

The Diegosian Warrior, 15,000 (In Progress)

A lot more than just the two Holy Worlds sites were down. All of Jay's sites were down, which directly connects the incident to the server.
