OUTAGE UPDATE: Shoutcast Servers

Just a final update for all the clients that have been effected by the downtime on our Australian based Shoutcast Servers.

The original plan was to do an OS update and upgrade both our shoutcast servers from Centos 5.7 (Fnal) to the new Centos 6.0 Release 1.0.1, however we quickly ran into trouble with unstable nodes and malfunctioning os kernals.

We have spent the last 3 days repairing these issues one by one and we are proud to let you know that we will start moving clients back to your new server before 9AM tommorow.

You will be emailed your login details once you have been moved to your new server. If you have any questions please let us know.
