Simply, "some" daily password attacks on the server email accounts is expected...but this time it overloaded with over 1000 IP's at once. As part of the reboot/cleanup process, a full disc check was automatically run, which added to the offline time.

FYI: The next version of Xenforo includes optional two-step verification for user accounts...added security across the board :)
