Well, I promised more updates to the blog, and then we disappear for a while. Sorry about that, but we really will now get on with giving you more details on here! With the integration of site news into the blog (to be explained in a post later today), I thought I’d re-post the recent site news item explaining our downtime below:

————

If you’ve been following the “AAG Temp Blog” that was up on allaboutgames.co.uk over the past couple of weeks you’ll be aware of why we went away. The main site was down for about two and a half weeks, and was the result of unexpected consequences of a server move, which have left the site out of action. With little notice the server needed to be physically moved, but problems were encountered at its new location, and thus prevented it from being set up again. The uncertainty over what would happen next meant it took a while for us to set up the temporary blog to provide you with some content until the full site was restored.

The new location is - as you can see from the restoration of the site - now fully set up and ready to bring you a full range of coverage once more. Further bad luck delayed this stage too - the server itself was actually damaged in transit, but thankfully the HDDs were intact, and we were able to eventually the restore the site on new hardware.

We apologise for the lengthy downtime, and we hope you will continue to visit allaboutgames.co.uk in the future - a future where we hopefully won’t experience anything like this again!
