Probably they are trying to recover from a hack. Sadly very, very common, I think two weeks ago that meat company payed 10 millions USD. 🤢

Yeah, its been down 10+ hours. Not sure what the correct punishment would be for hackers like that? Looks like finally governments are starting to pay attention (after that pipeline thing)...

@Janov:

Knowing you're still alive and well brings me great comfort...

Sooner or later they'll get it sorted out. In the meantime I realize how dependent I am on the site.

OK, I admit it, I'm an X-Plane junkie.

Be well and see you in the forums.

Per the Org's Twitter account, it thankfully is not a hack but just a tech issue. See below...

Thanks @mgchristy!

Power outage, eh?

Perhaps Austin is diverting power for one of his pet projects...

Hi Roger,

glad you are doing well!

Its either that or cryptocurrencies finally using up too much power! 😄
