Gamers Forum Downtime & Updates

[LiNuX]

If you guys haven't noticed already, from August 30th to August 31st for almost 24 hrs, the forum was down and it was bad. What's worse is that we lost most of the posts from August 30th since the backup used was from that morning. I have no control over this and I am sorry for that.

In the next week or two expect a server move. This server and host has caused me a great deal of trouble and tension and I do not wish to take this any further. I wasn't able to move earlier because of lack of funding for a new host. But I did plan to open a new CS server but that may have to wait a little longer as I have to use money from that funding.

You may have received an email explaning all of this and If you received two copies, I am sorry, the admin panel froze and reset.

Please bare with me and help me revive the forum once again, won't happen anymore after switch.

Regards,
LiNuX

it wasn't as bad as the last crash remember that one? but i am very angry at my host and their host that has their dedicated servers, both of them got angry emails but i really feel like punching them, that'll make me feel way better :mad1:

[lonewolfxix]

I'll go on that road trip with you to punch them :O I'm losing out on sleep right now since I couldn't post my picture request earlier :-(

Me too I'll help!. I'll bring a tank.

Yeah losing all that tim,e really sucked. At first I thought it was firefox but I tried IE and it didn't work either. Well at least its all sorted now.

[lonewolfxix]

It's not properly sorted until we move it to a new host/server Which I expect will cost more money than the current one.. Though I have no idea, either way let us hope it's better than this host!

It is unacceptable but tolerable.

If that makes any sense, I mean that it is a good choice to change but the down wasn't terrifying.

it wasnt because i had backups from that day lol - but u werent here when the whole server crashed and no backups for 2 months lol - we lost a lot of data - now that was terrifying and angry-fying :mad1:

[lonewolfxix]

i apologize again lol, cant do it enough, u lost more than 400 posts lol :( and i didnt figure out the registration error for about 2 weeks until i had to disable a lot of security then i switched to vb to avoid more trouble, errors, and spam bots bypassing the low security to register

[xeysz]

Sorry about that!!! Did not know!
