Very, very sorry for extended downtime
So on Friday, Dreamhost had to perform an emergency server move. Everything broke immediately, and I put in an OMG EXTREME CRITICAL EMERGENCY-level ticket with them. They said it was a DNS issue, and some things (including the BlogNomic Wiki) started working thereafter. But the main blog never came back, so finally today I opened a second OMG level ticket, and this time I got an immediate fix to the actual problem, profuse apologies, and credit for two months’ hosting.
I’m really, really sorry about this, guys. If I hadn’t been sick all weekend I might have stayed on top of it better and gotten the site back up a day or so sooner. I’ll do my level best to never let this happen again.

“Everyone idles out after days of inactivity”: I can absolutely see this happening lol.

Since the proposals haven’t been “open for voting” while the blog was down, they haven’t timed out yet. Admins, please don’t illegally process them. Everyone else should vote.

Thanks for knowing where to hit things with the wrench, 75th.

From blog comments, the gap spans 11-12-14 16:01 to 15-12-14 01:18, so that’s at most three days and eight hours that the blog was offline. Looks like we can clear the queue now.
