MFGG experienced some extended outages on March 12 and March 13. We're still trying to figure out exactly what happened, but the MySQL service went down, possibly because of a Chinese bot attack. Fortunately, Retriever II was able to get everything back up.
Currently we're making complete backups of everything on the MFGG server and making plans to prevent this problem from happening in the future, perhaps by moving to a different server.
