Did FOOPS.org go down for several hours?

I was unable to access foops.org for about 4 hours this morning, but was able to access any/all other sites on the net. What happened?

Yes... Our server had a major hardware/software failure around 0500 this morning, the server was back online, but limping at 0900. The server was again taken down at 1630 for maintance and OS reinstall, the site was back up and online at 2015. :) All is well now, and the site should be much more stable now that the previous issues have been taken care of. I hate to do maintance on the server during the day, but in this case it was an emergency that needed to be done to ensure the stability of the site and server.

Also any posts made after 1200 will be lost, as that is the last backup that was made. Thanks!
