Addressing the downtime!

Avicus was down intermittently over the past 12 hours due to a database failure. After attempting to restore it automatically, which failed after a few hours, I needed to instead restore it from a previous version. Luckily we backup at regular intervals throughout the day so most is saved. In fact the only thing that was changed is the "deaths" database which keeps track of who killed who. After a long night of a series of unfortunate events (another db failure... hard drive dismounted) we are finally back up.
Apologies for the lack of communication in the meantime, and of course the extended period of downtime. We try our best to keep Avicus up for as long as possible, but events like these are impossible to predict, troublesome to prevent and, often, difficult to recover from.
We have some updates in store for Avicus soon, and I'll be more closely monitoring the status of the database going forward.
