I sure hope that this power outage problem on the east coast does not effect this site. Nothing could be more important than chess. Rotting meat or looting will never be as big of a deal as my ability to push pawns! Pray that they can fix the outage before it bleeds into the meaning of life, which is this fantastic chess site!

I believe the server is someplace safe off the west coast on a small island.... the west coast of Europe.

Not at all. The admin guys maybe sat (with power) in the UK, but our servers live in Oklahoma. It’s a long distance relationship that is working out OK.

I live in Pennsylvania, very close to the power outage but luckily it's not affecting me, now what will happen to the people the live in the affected areas do if they can't move and then they get timed out! Just thinking for other people here...

ah, I am just east of the power outage... and that is just to the west.. the thing is a huge blob on the map covering a 3rd or 4th of the country here.

I hear a lot of people have a long walk home....

EDIT The Server is in OK, The Servant is in UK?

I was out for 24 hours. Didn't get power back until 4:15 PM (Detroit time).

Woah! The news reports to us today that southern NE was spared because we have a more up-to-date electrical grid.... Now if we could just fix the roads!

Hope you kept the fridge closed....
