Normal service is resumed

Due to an over keen data-centre staff member inadvertently taking one of our servers from its rack and formatting it, we have suffered an extended period of downtime for some of our services. These services include RSS topic feeds and User Count badges.

A new server was brought online today and we have restored the information from backups to this server. Normal service is now resumed.

If you notice any problems, let us know in #help on irc.geekshed.net.

We have, for quite a while now, offered TFlash as our web based IRC client. This was originally written as a quick replacement for the Java client we used previously. TFlash has, however, stood up to the test of time and has proved to be a very popular client amongst users. We have now decided…
