B3TA.com Down – Fire at The Planet Interrupts Service

As a few B3TAn’s sometimes pop over here and may be wondering what’s happening with B3TA.com I thought I’d mention what was up with the site.
Apparently a fire at the site’s host has interrupted service. The good news is that the servers and data are undamaged but power has yet to be restored.

    I’m glad it wasn’t that serious, I hope b3ta comes back soon :)
