[FM Discuss] disaster strikes: fi.flossmanuals.net offline...

[Tomi Toivio]

Hello,

This is the fifth day the fi.flossmanuals.net is locked. Basically there
already was a reasonable amount of traffic and content, but... Can anybody
estimate how dangerous it is to be locked for five days? Any of the other
FLOSS Manuals sites ever experience something like this? Any of the
Wikipedia sites ever been down this long?

Tomi
