As of yesterday, this server is now online and serving requests.
Sorry folks for the long downtime, the old server lost a disc out of
the array and then while rebuilding lost another one.  Once the new
discs were installed and the database rebuilt the server couldn't get
caught up, there was simply too much data.  It was taking about
exactly a day to run through the daily changes, which isn't helpful
when you're two weeks behind...  ;)  My apologies to everyone for how
long it took to get back online, and especially Mat who was left
serving all of the requests all by himself.  :)
