I have not been on Moparts for a couple of years now I think. Has something happened?

Oh. I just went to look.

After a fire that took down 9000+ servers,
the moparts web board is still off line.


Now I understand.

How long has it been down?

I didn't notice until monday (when I was back at work), for I was on holiday last week (demolition work at my new home, wiring harness replacement on the Chally). I try to survive without internet during holidays...

The funny thing is the number of totally different web sites that I usually use (including some for work) which were hosted in Houston....

This is a post from another forum I frequent.

A datacenter blew up and thousands of sites were down.

Edit: That is the forum the company has been posting updates on. Its still pretty swamped. Heres a short news clip about it.
