The following is the transcript of a Subeta News Network special report from the front lines of the war against squirrels:
Database server 2 sustained heavy damage today when squirrels overran a disk array controller, forcing technicians to update its firmware.
Fortunately, no civilian data was harmed, as database server 2 was operating solely in backup capacity at the time.
However, the recent squirrel attack will result in a 15-minute downtime window tonight beginning at 1 AM Subeta time, in order to repair the broken link between the database servers.
Programmer alx announced the downtime earlier today, as well as hinted that new tactics are being deployed to hopefully win the war against Subeta's squirrel population once and for all.
That's all we have at this time. Thank you for listening to Subeta News Network!

Ok, I just want to say I love all the Squirrely items and now news posts<img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> Too funny!
This definitely makes the downtime for amusing and puts a nice spin on the errors...I mean, squirrel hijackings.
Ode To Squirrel
Little squirrel on the page,
I hate you, now go away.
You drive me close to insanity,
and you really destroy me entirely.
I dispise the way you stop my quests,
so leave me be, you little pest.
You made me lose the perfect auction,
you caused me to miss those expensive stockings.
Little squirrel in front of me,
I hate your guts, so let me be.
