Rate Your Music and YACCS are unavailable due to a server failure.
Estimated time for fix: September 8, 7PM EST
Update (September 3, 4:35 PM EST): It looks like the old server is still failing intermittently. I can't debug the problem (since the server is located across the country), so the quickest solution is to ship a new server to the colocation facility. I'm going to build a server tomorrow and ship it on Friday. It should arrive Monday, September 8 around 6PM EST and should be online around 7PM.
Again, I apologize for the downtime. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to speed things up; the process of ordering and shipping a server takes time, and yesterday was the first day since the outage that any stores were open.
The good news is that the new server is much better than the old one, so the site should be significantly faster/more responsive once it's running.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
