Well the problems with the beta server might be resolved now. It appears, at least right now, that it was an issue with the network cable from the server to the modem as replacing the cable with a better (yet excessively long) cable has done the trick. The server is down at the moment while I bring the stats back online and up to date but hopefully by the end of the night (10-14-16) everything will be back up and running as it should.
