On mostly all servers I think, about 5 minutes ago, a reboot was started. Apparently, my friend came on after the reboot. I tried to pm him with like 10 words, and only one showed up! Whoever started the update messed up PM, so if you can, get this problem fixed asap!
Well clearly this is happening for everyone. Try telling any online staff members, they might be able to let a higher-ranked member restart the server.
fix is being pushed now. I moved all of the chat code to a different (better) system... sadly missed that one area.
