That Was Scary!

So, as much as I long for the old days, with regular communication, searchable campaigns, and an active community, I still truly rely on this site, as do my players. A player went to post a log this morning, US Pacific time, and emailed me in a panic- OP was broken!!
Posted a help topic "here":http://help.obsidianportal.com/discussions/problems/15547-what-happened to hopefully find out what the issue was, but it lasted less than 24 hours.
Still one of the most reliable, and for me, still essential, sites around....

    It was scary.

    In fact, for all this is a game/hobby, there was a moment of panic. When was the last time I backed up the site, or updated my master pdf, do I have all the players actual emails so I can let them know where we are relocating? etc.

    It is a very reliable site, there have been very very few instances of downtime since I joined in February 2010.

    Its still home. May it remain so.

    I was perplexed at first. The first thing I noticed was that I couldn't get onto this forum. Then I found a few other things not working.
    I have to admit my very next thought was...."So, they have finally pulled the plug. Well, at least they've left most of my site up."
    Then I thought, I might be jumping to conclusions and so should wait a while.

    So, coming back from a hard day at work, I find it was all just a big GLITCH in the MATRIX and that I can carry on procrastinating............................

    I agree with both KVP and SkidAce in that I rely heavily on the site and that (whimper, whimper...) I think I even love it.

    So, sure am glad to see all is still going strong.

    Recently I had to downgrade my account out of Ascendant membership for a short time while I get my finances back in order... then the site goes down. For a moment I had that horror thought of "oh my god, my subscription was the straw that broke the camel's back!", but evidently all is well.
    All the best,
