I heard some rumors going around that some places such as Invisionfree forums are completely offline because they were apparently caught in the middle of this situation- it is not cofirmed if this is true or not.

Yes, InvisionFree was involved, along with ZetaBoards (both owned by the same company).

Ok, first, Dante did indeed inform me of this when I first got on earlier today of this. I then contacted Bulby about all this and he said that I shouldn't worry and it's not important- I corrected him by saying it's an administrator's duty to try to keep members informed of any sort of predicament and to ensure their worries they might have.

Sorry Bulby, but you really didn't tell me anything if you are trying to nudge in with some credit. Dante did but you didn't.

*takes credit away*

No, I told you that Server 104 was likey in a different room, and that RTC would have been affected the day before if it was going to be affected at all.

Bulby good to have you back.

RTC had some luck with the accident, if the explosion had been larger the forum would have died, we should consider ourselves lucky
