since the previous crash on December 11th, 2002... yeesh — that does seem like a long time ago, and it does UNSPEAKABLE things to the old record of 188 days. Hmmm, there ought to be a good essay buried in that last crash.
May 2008: On May 3rd the MUD was moved to a new server. The previous server had been exhibiting hardware problems and was deemed to be in need of replacement.
December 2006: The DNS for the stick.org domain experienced problems for two days, meaning that mud.stick.org and www.stick.org could not be translated to IP addresses.
December 2005: On December 28th the MUD server became sufficiently borked that in its advancing age, it was deemed not worth rebuilding. We moved to a new server.
