While we're still working on bringing WorthDownloading back online on the older server, we've decided to be redundant and also work on a brand new server. It'll be bigger, better and faster, but that will take an extra few days. We apologize for the inconvenience, but as cliched as it may sound, it'll be for the best.
Much to the disappointment of my wife, I've hit the trifecta in APB Reloaded: I managed to kill JasonStatham, BruceWillis and MattDamon, all in one match. I'm now the biggest and baddest action hero left standing!
Watched some more Justified, and Leverage...

Well, yesterday was no fun. Our WorthDownloading server was hanging on by a thread for some reason and then ended up dying with a hard drive crash. While I was trying to tend to that emergency, the main WorthPlaying server went belly-up as well.
Both Web sites run off different, dedicated servers due to the volume of traffic they generate, and they're even in two different locations, so conspiracy theories were flying through my head. What are the chances of two servers in different locations crapping out at the same time? Slim to none.
While the WorthPlaying issue was easily fixed (a stupid router issue), the WD fix might take a little longer. Turns out our promised hardware upgrades never happened. The old equipment just gave out, and a new HD has already been plugged in, but we need to reinstall a bunch of stuff to make it operational.
