Oh hello there, welcome back to Stripcreator. The server started suddenly inexplicably crashing a few days ago. The current theory (mine and the guys at the co-location center) is that the server was overheating, causing it to crash and make me want to die. The server has been swapped for another hopefully cooler running one and I'm slowly putting things back online to see if it will crash.
Update: Chat is back online. Forums will be back tonight if everything stays stable.
