On Saturday afternoon, we were knocked offline by a heavy windstorm passing through the area (and surrounding areas). Although power was restored to many areas in Seattle by Sunday and many parts of the network were restored in a slow and certain fashion, it took Foldit a bit longer to rejoin the world of the living. Fortunately, it looks like we just went off the grid for a weekend long nap, and have not lost data.

With regards to the puzzles, we’ll make sure that players get credit for any offline work, and we of course will be investigating and discussing this weekend's "weather event" to minimize future downtime.

Since Puzzle 1130b was scheduled to close tomorrow morning, we’ll extend that deadline by 24 hours to make sure players have a chance to log in.

Thank you everyone for your patience, writing in, following the social media channels and just being all around cool about things. Please post any problems you encounter in this thread or concerns you may have… and let's get back to those puzzles!

As I was planning to do a lot during the weekend and that was not possible pls extend all puzzles with 2 days. If that would break the planned new puzzles releases I think it is acceptable to have more than 3 running puzzles in order to catch up.

Has there been a change from the 128.95.1.227:6665 address
I can log into that on IRC but joining the global and veteran channels does not show the players who are there on the in game chat

Can someone list the social media channel(s) to use if fold.it is knocked offline again?

I wasn't able to find any official or nonofficial sites for information on the status of fold.it.
