Deimos Fawkes at Subnova wrote today that the server outage that coincided with the appearance of the second Halo 2 Update in their forum is actually the result of hardware problems with their scavenged-parts webserver, and not a connectivity or bandwidth issue.

Other sites, including Rampancy and the Junkyard, made copies so Bungie fans could read the update; in the future, I expect everyone will be holding to the one-week-exclusivity rule used for the original Halo updates and mentioned by Louis Wu at HBO recently.

Subnova appears to be recovering from its hardware problems at this moment; the latest Bungie Weekly Update by Frankie is now visible in its original location; as such, we'll be hiding our local copy until Friday unless Subnova goes down again.
