We're on our backup for now, the incident will be resolved until we get our VPS back.

After some further digging, I have actually found the database backup for the tracker! The tracker will also be back on our backup momentarily.

The issue seems to be a bit more complicated than first expected. I'm swapping certain things over to our backup (main site + games), however the tracker will remain unavailable due to the issues with the backend I mentioned above. I deeply apologise.

Unaware to me, our backup database has been offline for an extended period of time. This means that if we used our backup provider for the next hour or so, we won't have any up-to-date information. I will leave it on the maintenance page for now.

We're still attempting to resolve the issue.

I've set the maintenance page up across the whole of erlc.news. The reason for the site going down appears to be our VPS provider failing to accept our payment method. We're sorting it as quick as we can.

The whole of erlc.news appears to be offline. We're solving it.
