From Jcink:

QUOTE The service suffered a downtime of about 30 minutes.

Our battery backup became overloaded and it shut itself down to prevent a safety hazard. This lead to all the servers being offline for around 30 minutes and everything had to be started up all over. I'll be looking into exactly why this happened and what we can do prevent it in the future. At a warning, it could happen again, but we'll see. I've changed some cabling.

Otherwise, this was simply a matter of a bad surge protector/battery. No data has been lost, and all boards and sites should be operating fully. As a note, the server might be a little slow for the next 15 minutes or so as it gets itself back up to speed and loads all the boards into memory.

We're really sorry, and apologize for the inconvenience.
 
I wasn't on at the time but I am glade to hear that it is working again.
