I believe it was a combination of things! But I believe the main problem was a hard disk ....I am sure we will have a post when its all fixed (they are still working on a lot of things as we speak) so it may be a while before anyone has time to make a official statement!
I was thinking some real prize hacked the site for the Christmas.
Rumor is that one of the staff, not mentioning any names here KYLIE(!!!!), got the hampsters drunk and they fell off the wheel.

Now thats funny stuff ...and probably not to far from the truthRumor is that one of the staff, not mentioning any names here KYLIE(!!!!), got the hampsters drunk and they fell off the wheel.
Is it ever possible for UO or Stratics to go down without people mentioning hamsters and hamster wheels? You just know its coming but cringeworthy nonetheless.
Come on Kylie.... Post the poem you wrote!*tries to look all innocent*

Not sure it's Stratics approved, but I reckon they can remove it if not
Was bored and this was the result....
‘Twas the night before Christmas and Stratics didn’t work,
Nobody could make it to the boards, not even to lurk.
The trolls kept refreshing hoping it would load,
Getting upset because they were unable to goad.
Wanting to pancake, moan, fuss, fight or gripe,
Desiring to flame, attack and constantly snipe.
While those who moderate each and every spat,
Sat around and waited while talking in chat.
When the word came down it rolled like thunder,
The hardware is toast, it’s a total freaking blunder.
Shaking our heads, we knew the real deal.
Damn Hampsters were drunk and fell off the wheel.
That being the case I am out of here for the night.
Merry Christmas to you all, and don’t let Kelmo bite.
*twitches* Thank goodness! It was bad enough not being able to get in-game for the past few days (I'm away from home and only have access to a Mac laptop for the time being), but with Stratics down, I was beginning to get an idea of what *withdrawal* must feel like! Welcome back Stratics and staff!
so glad it's up and running again!
It's still glichie to get in ... must have been one powerfull drink that hamster took........
^^That was Awesome!^^Not sure it's Stratics approved, but I reckon they can remove it if not

You realy don't realize how much you love stratics until it goes down and you can't get your daily fix!
Thanks for all the great work you guys do!
Have a great New Year.
I have learned a lot about RAID the last few days other than a can of insecticide
I've also learned RAID 6 is not fail safe
We are, er wait. We? Ha! Umm, THEY are still working on the main portals including uostratics information but all should be well by the end of today.

That was simply Brilliant. Thank you for sharing that with us. I'm seriously thinking about printing it & pinning it to the wall
Well, NO RAID is fail safe. RAID is Redundant. RAID 6 allows for two drives to fail though and the array will continue to function.I've also learned RAID 6 is not fail safe
It's all about how critical your uptime is vs. cost. If cost were no object RAID 60 would be my preference.
RAID....60??
EZ will you be my tutor so I quit hanging around our dev's virtual cubicle going, "what's this do? what's that mean?"
