The server is locked in a data center at an ISP in Dallas. I'm in Minnesota, so there was no tripping over power cords 
The server never technically went down. It just got waaaay overloaded. I got an IM about 9:30 this evening telling me things were very slow. When I checked, the server was so bogged down that it would take minutes to run commands in the shell. The load average was over 80 when I was finally able to kill some rouge processes. For comparison, the load average as I type this is 0.29.
I have a pretty good idea of what caused the problem, but for security reasons I'm not going to disclose it.
Sorry about the downtime!

For the limited downtime this site ever has, you have nothing to be sorry about.

I figured if it was a funny way to ask what happened. I feel wierd going online when the forum is down because BC has sooo little downtime that when it actually is down, it seems like forever.
I can't say how thankful I am of all the people who put time and money to keep the forum alive.
