There is no word from the admin yet on what is going on. In fact the
admin has yet to acknowledge that he is still alive.

I'm the admin of Rocksolid, etc. When you posted this I was in a medically induced coma following a major surgery that was preceded by another major surgery, followed by 8 months of chemotherapy. There were several months where I could do nothing to administrate anything. (There were weeks that I have no memory of at all).

I assume whatever the issue was with the servers resolved itself, as people have been using them since.

Why would an administrator make no statement acknowledging the status of
a service that has gone down or is broken?

Death?
