    Unfortunately, this will affect DLP as our server is hosted in the building in which this system needs replacement. DLP will be down starting 9:00AM EST (2:00PM GMT) and stretching from anywhere between three to five hours.

    Yes, this also means IRC will be down.

    Unless the site IRC is running on a dedicated/private IRC network it should be unaffected aside from being unable to get to the DLP hosted web-client. Just use a different web client or download a standalone one?

    Of course, if it IS affected then discovering sunlight may be an idea for all forumites to take up for several hours ;)

    The IRC network has been under Raven's server for a while now, Anubis. So yes, IRC will be fucked up.

    What is this thing you call sun-light?

    Also, what am I going to do without my compulsive DLP browsing to fall back on? I may... actually... have to... go.. outside... SAVE ME! :p

    Ah, then feel free to ignore me. I was assuming it was on a public network :)

    Downtime will officially begin at 8:50 EST. The server is set to shut its self down at that time in preparation for the power shutdown.
