This downtime was a side affect of an attempted server move. Our server, which was in our host's Texas datacenter, had some minor technical issues and routine disruptions such as hourly tasks that disrupted Chat. In order to have better quality of service for our guests, it was requested that Nightscrawlers be moved to the datacenter in Dublin, Ireland.
As part of this process, our account on the old server was disabled when the account on the new server was activated. Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside our control, the information for nightscrawlers.com was not changed to point to the new account, therefore everyone had a pleasant "Account has been suspended" message to ponder while this was being fixed.
In the meantime, we were able to contact some friends who knew friends (by this we of course mean Karl-XMB
), who were able to contact Aventurehost and confirm that this was the problem. In the meantime, a redirect has been established and business is continuing as normal for a while.Edit: It seems that as a side affect of this move, recent posts (about three days' worth), may have been lost, or may not be displayed while we have this temporary solution. Please be patient with us while we deal with the side affects of this move.
Once again, we apologise for this inconvenience and any more inconveniences that may occur in our effort to enhance the quality of service you enjoy here at Nightscrawlers.
Thank you,
-Technical Administrator
