Furry Refuge Server Downtime – March 11th to After April 17th
Dear Furry Refuge community members,
We wanted to give you all a heads up that our servers will be going down from March 11th and will remain offline until after April 17th. The reason for this is that our server rack will need to be taken apart as we prepare to move to a new location.
While we’re excited about the move and the opportunities it will bring, we know that many of you rely on our servers for gaming and socializing, and we want to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
During this downtime, our chatrooms on Discord and Telegram chat platforms will still be available for furs to chat. You can access our Telegram chat room at telegram.furryrefuge.com and our Discord chat room at discord.furryrefuge.com. We welcome anyone and everyone who would like to join us in our chats, even though our servers will be down during this time.
We are doing everything we can to make the transition as smooth as possible, and we hope to have the servers up and running again as soon as possible. However, due to the complexities of moving a server rack, we cannot guarantee that they will be back up by April 17th, which is when we will arrive at our new place of residence.
We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time. We know that our servers are an important part of the Furry Refuge community, and we are committed to getting them back online as soon as possible.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us on our social media channels. We’ll do our best to keep you updated on the status of the servers as we move forward with the move.
Thank you for your continued support of Furry Refuge, and we look forward to seeing you all back online soon.
Sincerely,
Echo the Raven and the Furry Refuge team -
SITE OUTAGE NOTICE!
Hello! @Mrs_Feathers here, I’m replacing a RAID cache battery in each of the servers and need to shut them down. Everything is all set for the operation and downtime shouldn’t be longer than 30 minutes MAX until the game servers are back up and running. i’ll be shutting down the servers one at a time so ideally, i can just have the game servers migrate over to another node and keep everything alive.. so you really shouldn’t notice except some slight lag when the server process actually migrates between two servers while keeping the game server process running! (really amazingly cool we can do that)

FR TO BE OFFLINE FOR A MONTH
Hello! It is with a lot of grief that i have to announce furry refuge game servers and radio will be offline until some time mid to late april. once again, we’re moving locations.. but we’re trying to get as much in order as we can before we turn it off to get it back online asap once we receive the servers.
i’m uploading the website to a service that’ll keep it online temporarily while we move and VRChat world, discord, telegram, chats and all will still be online though! the radio, however, will be offline so when we have DJ mixes, it will be hosted from youtube. thank you for understanding. its not optimal, but hopefully after this move, we will be able to have the servers in a permanent location.
We’re gonna be hosted in Connecticut, home to Furpocalypse and ConnectiCon! The hope is to foster a local community in CT, so if you are a CT fur, contact us!
