[edit] VATSIM Article

Here's my reasoning: Only two VATSIM servers were affected and they're now back up. They weren't even damaged, they just lost power for about 24 hours. It's really not a big deal. I think you might've misunderstood the NOTAM, since your edits to the article said that "VATSIM Headquarters" was hit by an electrical fire/explosion. There is no such thing as "VATSIM Headquarters". The explosion was at a datacenter (of which VATSIM is a relatively small customer) that hosts thousands of servers for a wide variety of customers. VATSIM had two servers that were affected (the web server and the forums/sweatbox server). The network itself wasn't even affected during the outage (naturally, since there are 7 FSD servers spread around the globe for just this reason).

The explosion is already covered in the article for the host, The Planet Internet Services, which is the only place it really would have any relevance in my opinion. Tim (talk) 15:58, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
