Terrible Loss

[LiNuX]

Fellow Gamers Forum members, our host has recently moved their main servers to another one. But that has caused problems for this forum. Yesterday we have broken the record of 200+ posts in a day but its all gone now. Everything from Saturday Morning to Saturday Night has been erased and cannot be restored. Yesterday we broke the record by having 4 consecutive days of 100+ posts.

I urge that you help us get all those posts back because in one day we have lost well over 200 posts and more information.

I am sorry for those that have posted a lot to help this forum grow but with your help we can do it again. I will probably move this forum to another server of my own by the end of the month to make sure this never happens again.

Thank you and sorry for the inconvienience.

Gamers Forum Staff.

If you didnt notice the forum time is a little messed up as well. I will try to fix that for you as soon as possible.

That sucks! I made a lot of posts too............

[LiNuX]

yeah sorry for that, but the backup i made was made too early, i should have made one last night but i was informed that everything was going smoothly with the move so i didnt worry

im really mad too.

[KittyCat72]

I think that I should just call an official tie in the Spammers Corner section I told you about. I had posted a lot, but it's gone. That interferance in the contest messed it up. :(

[LiNuX]

yeah sorry again, but to let you know, jason didnt give up last night lol, he posted a lot more.

[KittyCat72]

Well.......... hey Linux, maybe you can explain the problem and call a tie for us. It would be a waste of time to redo all of it. Oh yeah, did we lose the GFP we got from our posts?

If you lose posts, you lose the GFP's. It's not his fault though. But too bad we lost it, I was all at it yesterday, lol. Oh well, have to get back on it again.

yea why yesterday lol, 200+ posts yesterday, broke the record of most posts in a day, today only 21 posts :( why not from today lol, argh.

It happens, don't worry, we'll get 'em back. :).

[LiNuX]

hope so, their support forum is down and i cant back up my database without logging into cpanel, and thats down too.

[souljaa]

Yeah, same here. I just switched hosts lol. It wasn't to much space for me anyways...Needed more..Found one though :).

[Wang]

i say we burn their houses down.

[LiNuX]

lol well im working with the admin to see if i can get all the old posts back, he said the old server is still up so i can go and get the database and try to merge with this one

[souljaa]

Ahh...That's great news! Hopefully you could get it. :).

[diablo]

wow thats terrible but i will try to help as much as i can to bring the posts back, hopefully you can get those posts back and make it a lot more. i am online from my school computer right now so i will try to make a few posts before a teacher comes around to check on me lol, im not allowed to go on forums or non school related sites :)

[wifi]

omg whyyyyy, i had over 300 posts then lol, back down to below 300 aww, gotta work my way up, will do it by tonite haha :P

[Midnight-Soul]

Haha, that sucks, maybe you should find a more reliable host, or even a cheap paid hosting, or better still, get someone who already has paid hosting with spare space to host you ;).

[diablo]

well we got it all back and more lol, almost 11,400 posts now, he said it was a reliable host they just moved servers, i dont know, but its all fixed, glad to see it now :)

[souljaa]

Yeah, everythings fine and working now :)..Nothing to worry about :).

[LiNuX]

yea everything is great, topic un-stickied, you can still post on here if you want. i will probably move the forum to my new paid host by next weekend.

[Drake14]

Sounds good! You should kick your hosts ass :)

[LiNuX]

lol well they are still great, i cant do that, they are the reason why i am here, my first cpanel host, i received a lot of help from them in the past, the problem just happened when they sold the host :( but the new owner looks like he needs some help so i dont know anymore but its still great, i'll host one of my blogs here for sure.
