All of our Caucus sites were down today -- The problem appears to be that the server where we are hosted was hacked in spite of all the security in place there. It was "root-kitted", which means that somebody broke in and replaced a bunch of the system programs with versions that would hide their compromise. After running hidden for some period of time they then removed some other vital files from the system and that caused it's instability and, ultimiately, it's inability to reboot properly.
So I'm now learning how to start them back up again...
