FictionPress Tweeted: Why Are You Facing Issues?
After an unexpected power failure at the data center, we are gradually restoring the servers to operation. The power outage necessitated manual inspections of each server, service, and drive by our staff, which is proving to be a time-consuming process.
We are slowly bringing the servers back online after an unplanned power failure/outage at the datacenter. Due to the power off event, staff has to manually inspect every server, service, and drive which is very time consuming.
We expect services to be fully back online within… https://t.co/d0pHcb50ZI
