The server has indeed crashed. Mike is working with the hosting company on figuring out next steps.

Any update on this? Our league is in the middle of our slow draft and do not know what to do moving forward.

Hereās the timeline as I understand it:
Sunday, CM started going slow. Mike noticed it and asked his hosting provider for a server upgrade. The migration to the new server had a number of issues, none of which the provider gave support around. The new server then hard crashed.
Monday, Mike and I worked together to get the new server back up and deal with the issues from the migration. CM worked fine from then until today.
Today the site started going slow again around mid-day ET. It then for a second time since migrating to it hard crashed. This is a red flag, it absolutely should not happen. Mike has raised this to his provider and they are setting up another new server. They are also working with him to get the current server back up so he can pull data off of it and migrate to the newest server.
That is in progress now, and I imagine it will go into tomorrow. However, as described earlier in this thread, it is not a big issue to add time to a finished auction, so having a little downtime while certainly annoying should not hard break anyoneās drafts. The only question is how quickly CM can come back up. I imagine it will be in the next couple of days as Mike should have more free time on Friday and the weekend to look at what is going on (CM is not his full time job).
As frustrated and annoyed as you may be, trust me, Mike is 100x more frustrated and annoyed that CM isnāt up and running slow drafts right now. Heās doing what he can and we are in contact and Iām helping out whenever I can. I hope to have a good update soon - I think if Mike gets a good server instead of the dud he got on Sunday, things should be much better going forward.

The hosting company is working on getting the server back up so Mike can start transferring data. They believe they will have an update tomorrow. Iāll update when I have more.

Any update on Couchmanagers?

We are working on setting up the new server now.
Iām not sure I have great news about the data, it looks like the data between the first crash (Sunday) and the last crash (Thursday) was lost. The server was lagging on Sunday and Mike commissioned a new server and the new server was just completely a dud.
Once the site is back up Iāll relay what I have.

Couchmanagers is up. I would go in and look at your auctions and make sure things are paused for now. There are a number of errors that Mike needs to clean up. My expectation is everything will be closer to last Sunday status instead of Thursday status.

The draft I was in is not showing up. Should I expect that data to return or just start a new one?
I cannot answer that directly, as I do not run Couchmanagers. You can email the guy who runs it by going to Couchmanagers and clicking the contact link.
However, as I said upthread, the data will be as of last Sunday. If you started a draft this week, it is gone, unfortunately.

Restore point does appear to be prior to the most recent crash. Upload Ottoneu Keepers does not appear to be working as of now.

I think you guys have mostly figured out how to proceed, but it looks like CM is running and running much better than it was during this past week.
Iām super bummed we werenāt able to restore the data from the week, but Iām working with Mike to set up some contingency plans for this kind of event in the future.
