Tuesday, 12/26: (9:15am) The system was down for a short while (between 7:30am and 9:15am) due to the NIS database becoming desynched. This prevented logins and required that the main servers be rebooted.

Wednesday, 11/29:(9:30pm) Due to the power failure, we are experiencing difficulties with the news server (a crashed hard drive). Mail to support@ionet.net will most probably bounce (it is forwarded to an internal newsgroup), so call us at (405) 721-1580 with tech support problems between 8am-Midnight. 24 hour a day, 7 day a week tech support is coming soon.

Wednesday, 11/29:(8:45pm)The system was down for about 25 minutes , due to a power failure (a power cord shorted out). After fixing the damaged cable and rebooting, the system is back up and there appears to be no problem. We've made preventive measures and this shouldn't happen again.

Monday, 11/27:The system was down from around 2am to 8:30am, due to a failed power supply in the main DNS machine. This caused logins to fail or time out, as the terminal servers could not resolve the address for ion3.ionet.net to verify passwords.
