Looks like Murphy's Law has decided to pay a visit to FA headquarters this week. I went on the forums and found these entries a short time ago and figured I would share them with all of you.

Quoted from Pinkuh, FA Administrator/ Staffer - " It will NOT be up and running by this weekend. First off one of the servers is in pieces, and Dragoneer can't put it together without voiding the warranties on it. We are going to have to send the pieces back to the manufacturer to get them to put it together like they promised. ( That alone is going to take a week! ) Dragoneer Also Promised Yak a week after we got the servers to TEST THEM yes they need to be tested... we can't just stick em up and hope for the best, these things have to be done.

If the site goes up this weekend None of these things have happened, and Neer voided the warranty meaning that for the sun server we wont have coverage if it breaks, and the servers wont have been tested against one another. So please.. allow us 2 more weeks to finish this and get it done right We have rushed this site so many times before that rushing it now would be stupid. "

In the next space Fur Affinity Admin Yak posted - " I am afraid I would have to break the promise Dragoneer has said about FA coming back this weekend. Due to the recent and yet again unfortunate happenings the downtime is being extended. It could take up to a week or more time before FA can be safely brought back.

We are taking the server back to CDW for proper assemblage and testing procedures. Not only does it benefit our chances of getting a return on the warranty in case something goes wrong, it also reduced the chances of early hardware failure due to factory faults that the testing procedure should pinpoint. This is a server and not a personal gaming PC, we are not taking any chances."

Now that this has happened it appears as if FA is going to be offline until the week of August 4th to 9th. Looks like my early August return estimate is going to be bang on.

Laters.
