Re: [10-Oct] Server outtage
Backups are taken every hour, I'm guessing that someone pressed the wrong button, and used a backup that was taken when the server came back online (therefore restoring the damage)Optimus Prime wrote:Let's hope there is another fix because I'm gonna be pissed to high heaven if the Generation One forum is gone for good.

If nothing else, the forum could at least be restored to a day or two ago, it should be fixable, how long will it take before it's fixed is the question.

Re: [10-Oct] Server outtage
geeez guys, give 'em a break. Its not as simple as 'pressing a button'. You've also got to isolate the error and make sure its not going to happen again. This stuff takes time.

How about in a normal game, turn started, cards cashed, then server went down? Anything you guys can do? ThanksTwill wrote: If you were in a normal game and missed a turn, please accept our (and the data center's) apologies

No worries, I should be in bed anyways. I'm sure the forums will straighten themselves out eventually.


Re: [10-Oct] Server outtage
Funnily enough, I happened to have on of the topics in the Not Yet Banned bookmarked, and the forum lets me go directly to that topic, and its own forum (Forum Games), but when I try to go the Not Yet Banned, it says the forum does not exist.....luns101 wrote:Let's hope not...it's my favorite forum to readInkL0sed wrote:I guess the Not Yet Banned is officially banned now

Re: [10-Oct] Server outtage
Hey folks,
We're still working with the data center to get things fixed. All the data should still be there, it's just a matter of getting it back and merged from the backup or wherever it ended up in the nether regions of rackspace's data center.
For the record, it's not as simple as pressing a button, it's not a phpBB crash, it's a database corruption. That would be akin to comparing Firefox crashing to a BSOD
It's thanksgiving weekend here in Canada, and I Lack and I only really spend one weekend a year with family, so we're working as hard as we can to get the forum back and not piss off family and significant others at the same time
Hang in there, spamming will resume soon

That's just hilarious, isn't it Hulmey? How about if you don't have anything to add you stay out of the thread instead of mocking other people's troubles?

I'm really missing our forum, am wondering what the progress is on getting it back up and going. We need our G1 living room back and stat.
