Server crash - restored from backup
« on: January 30, 2008, 11:25:17 AM »
We keep having problems with the server being hacked and crashed. I've restored from a backup that was made at 3am on the 29th, posts from yesterday are lost unfortunately.

I'm doing my best to look into a solution for this, sorry about the inconvenience all.

As an FYI the server will also go down again today for a short time while we migrate the data over to a new server. Hopefully down time will be minimal though.

It's not easy running a website,especially a growing website. I would like to thank you and all others involved. Our community needs a website like this.

Yeah, now just have to get the domain to propagate somehow. I still don't have an ETA from the domain registrar as to when that will happen.

Good idea by the way on the link at the top of the forum! I had just figured out the temporary url for the new server so ti was very timely.

let's keep our fingers crossed that everything is done propagating!
