    Why was the forum down for 24 hours?

    Poor Shawn had a hideous day, starting with a power outage. I'll let him share the details but it was mostly factors beyond his control. He did mention that his uptime was over 1800 days so lets hope he has a good long run before the next outage.

    There were a few outages if I recall correctly, though maybe not as extensive.

    I noticed he doesn't even let you view the forums without logging in anymore. I used to view them without logging in, which was great because I don't always want to log in when I know I'm on open Wi-Fi. Not anymore. Is it because of all the AI scrapers draining CPU and bandwidth?
