I was thinking of elaborating what happened in a thread here, but after two days of recovery I don't really think I care too  The very short version is: Total server meltdown(e.g fried harddrives), corrupt data in the database etc etc... Two days later and we are hopefully!? up and running again with a loss of 26 threads (probably newest), and 284 posts. This is actually a good thing, because two hours ago I was back to a June backup of the database! I appologize strongly for the mishap and have now moved this forum to a webhotel provider which should hopefully prevent this from happening again. Added cost, but better sleep at night for me and a more stable service for you:-) Glad to be back online! Please report anything suspisious to me on PM or email trd@adbsys.noThanks |

Indeed good to be online again, was starting to get cold turkey of the daily habit. If it is more cost, is there any way we could help out? I'm willing to send you my old mac G3 to add to the server park |

Hehe, not thats not needed :-) We have plenty of space available. I have run this forum on my own private server since we started, and lately we have had some problems with the server, most likely due to multipe power cuts. Harddrives don't like that too much, databases neither :-) It was finally enough. I have a new IBM eBusiness server waiting to be installed, but I figured a webhotel would be better. Less to worry about at least :-) |

Thanks for hanging in there Trond! And thanks for hosting the forum for all these years, if we can find a way to pay for the web hotel I guess it's the way forward...! These last days at work have been hell... but productive  |

That or we could just paypal a couple of bucks each to trond to help pay for it, if everyone gives a little it wouldn't kill anybody financially

I...have now moved this forum to a webhotel...
Hopefully the new location has all amenities enjoyed by those who attended SCC2009 -- alarm clocks that sounded like IDA'd engines, plenty of beer/brown cheese, and fish ponds... Thanks a bunch for getting things up and running again, as well as making the server change - it's much appreciated!  --Eric |

Trond, you said there was corruption; possibly from an infected photo, maybe? I hope the new server will let you rest a little easier! And, THANKS!

No, It wasnt a virus or anything. The database and harddrives doesnt like suddenly beeing without power   . When this happens weekly over a period due to power cuts and UPS with battery failure.. well.. nuff said...= headache. New server was almost ready to take over, but I was too late :-( Ah well... Shit happens, at least we didnt loose to much. My other Norwegian forum is worse, 50% of threads are gone in the corrupt database and nearest backup without corruption is June.. Working on that now.. Will see how that goes.... |
