Post Power Failure in Dallas
So apparently a power plant in Dallas failed and the colo facility hosting our gameservers has gone dark. They're working to restore power but have no ETA on when it'll be back up.

Thanks,
G

edit: servers are now up

Ohhh darn. How will I play CSS now? Oh, that's right, I won't. Really too bad, I was actually just about to get on. Oh well. Hope it gets back up soon!

We've been with these guys for a little over a year (actually, maybe going on 2 years), and this is the first time they had downtime! Any other gameserver downtime was because of us, or Valve.

Ive talked to some folks in the Dallas area I know and from what they said this is because of the heat wave. the plant is having a hard time meeting all of its energy requirements cause ppl are using more electricity than normal. they heard on the news there could be rolling blackouts across the city through the end of the week, or until the heat subsides some

I think it was because Gman installed 4 new keg-erators and that blew the entire power grid!
:D

It was only a matter of time. The server cannot handle my awesomeness.
