Title: New server, and sorry for the outage.
Post by: Bird on January 02, 2016, 03:24:17 PM: Hey guys.

We run into a server error on the old hosting, and decided to cut to the chase.
From here on I'm hosting the site on Amazon, and top level admins have (nearly) full access to the server, so we should be able to solve issues much quicker now.

We also have a TS3 server running on this instance, we just need to configure it properly (volunteers needed I guess) - it's at ts3.xgn.com.au

Enjoy, and sorry for the long outage at the worst time ;)

Edit:
If the program says "you're unable to log in, check your cookie settings", you need to delete your session cookies !

Also, emails were not working (sorry!) this has now been fixed. So if you could not log in nor retrieve your credentials, it's time to try again!

Hey Bruce,
I remember you saying about cal not being able to get his password, maybe he can reset it now.

Nothing. We've got enough credit on Amazon to run it free for a year, afterwards it'll be my contribution. ;)
