How much longer until the server is up again?

It's been down for a few days so I'm wondering when it will be up again.

I've had "Secret Portal" cached in the advanced connection boxes, and when I use that I can connect even though I can't seem to find the server on the list. Am I just missing it and it's actually up when I did that, or has it been down and even the advanced connection won't work?

I have just been using Shoda Region for the advanced connection box.

I didn't know that could work. I just saw it there because I had been on Portal last. So is Shoda Region another server, and Secret Portal is just to advertise the Region or something?

Secret Portal is to bring more people to the Shoda Region. If you go to the Secret Portal it will be as if you went to Shoda Region directly.

Ah, that makes sense. Hence the name.
