OK, one of my two Linux servers suffered a hard drive problem. It used to fail every few weeks, but recently it was failing once a week, sometimes only a couple days between incidents. Earlier this week Server Matrix diagnosed the problem, and tonight they replaced the drive.
To minimize the disturbance, I have paid an extra $70 to keep the old drive in the system long enough to transfer all the files over. I hadn't originally decided to do this until I realized just how many files I neglected to backup properly.
Anyway, I have restored DNS, and am working to bring n00bstories.com website back online, home.n00bstories.com IRC server, and then the lesser-used services like TeamSpeak and the radio.
I will also be quite tired for work tomorrow, but if I don't do this work tonight, I wouldn't be able to do it until tomorrow evening... MAYBE.
I'm quite sorry about all the problems lately, and I hope that this new drive will resolve the prior issues and was the correct diagnosis.
I'm the bawss.

The things you do for this community... I don't know how you keep it up. Good work anyway, get some rest too. Keep up the good work.

I don't think any one works as hard for the comunity as you do Crimson, I don't think any one would.
Thanks for the hard work.

I was wondering where n00bstories went earlier. . . Heh. Thank you for continuing to work as diligently as you do in general, dispite the fact that you already have a bit on your plate.

We have restored everything in full. There were a few last things that Blazer finished this morning. The old drive is "unmounted", meaning it can't be accessed by accident and potentially cause another crash. I'm about 99.9% sure that the problem is now solved. We'll have another short outage when they pull out the old drive, but hopefully that box will enjoy months-long uptimes once again.
Thanks for your compliments and such... I do this as a learning experience as much as anything else. I'm just glad you understand why there had to be some downtime.
I'm the bawss.
