Is the-evil-empire.net up and running? About a week ago I could not view and still can not. ?

Question

I have tried everything. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Answer 1

I am friends with one of the staff so this info is actually what is happening. Basically the server that holds our data went down and all websites, not just the evil empire, associated with that server went down. They (the tech people at the server we use) are trying to fix the problem as fast as possible and get everything running again. Last I heard there was not an eta (actually they said it would be back in three days when it first went down but its taking alot longer then they expected) on when it would be back up, but since you actually get a website now when you try it, hopefully it will be up in the next couple of days. Until it is back you can hope on our irc: [e-mail]

Answer 2

No answer for you but I would also like to hear from someone who has a more official answer so I'll be watching your topic.

My two cents: This is the longest E.E. has been down in 2 years and now the link is even taking you to an ad page.  I know the admin was changing just before it all went down since Ani announced she was leaving.  With the original admin the wonderful Olena long gone perhaps  the challenges of bringing the site back online are more than anyone wants to face?  It's understandable, it takes a lot out of people to keep a huge site like that running.  Therefore, I'm really starting to think it might be down for good this time.  

It's unfortunate too, because they had the best organizational system of any forum A & M site I've ever seen.  Additionally, the extras on the site like ebooks and the literary community were all quite impressive.
