Website downtime update

Postby Grix » Fri Jun 08, 2007 9:18 am

Hey guys, sorry for the downtime almost all day yesterday. Long story short, the primary drive on the server was throwing media errors (signs of drive failure) and our host had to rebuild the server and restore all of the data. Looks like everything went smoothly and we're back up and running. That rebuild should have also taken care of the random maintenance they've been having to perform lately.

Thanks for the update, Grix. Good thing this happened now, before anything was lost. Lucky us.

Phpbb2 has some built in backup utilities which i try to run every now and then. Plus our host maintains backups, so if the drives do fail in the future, we should be pretty well covered.

Bad HDD. No biscuit.

Bad HDD's are punished by making them spend the night in a tent with Pigpen.

So... they get a hot night of steamrollers and screaming? Seems less like a punishment to me...
