I have taken it upon myself to create a blog where users can visit should the unlikely event happen again where AnimeOTK or any of its associated sites go down for some reason or another.
This blog can be found at the following location:
http://otk-server.blogspot.com
please add this to your book marks and hopefully we shouldnt need it but it should remove any confusion when problems occur and stop some of the griping of users who have lobbied for this.
on another somewhat related note, users should take note that the IRC server is hosted remotely and can be accessed by the following IP 64.32.1.40 with an IRC client, which is in essence another way to stay connected should problems occur meaning there is always an avenue of contact with the Administration of the site and its staff members.
