Hapori Tohu Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Tomorrow evening the hosting provider BZPower uses will be shutting down our server and moving it to a new location within their datacenter. Because of the number of servers being moved, they currently do not have an estimate for when the maintenance will be completed. Until they are done with their work, BZPower will be offline. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding. View the full article Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25K Now! Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Well there was this time when BZPower went down for maintenace or whatnot and we ended up waiting about eight months for the site to come back.

Jobber Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Well there was this time when BZPower went down for maintenace or whatnot and we ended up waiting about eight months for the site to come back.I think I remember that.

Meiko Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Either I'm not desperately checking the site frequently enough, or the downtime was very short (or both ) because I didn't notice it at all.

GSR Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 There was downtime a few hours ago for an hour or two, yes. I couldn't tell you if this is all there'll be, or if there's still more maintenance to be done and the site'll be up and down again. Quote Hey: I'm not very active around BZP right now.
