John Drake Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Well that was a fun weekend... Regular visitors will have noticed the forum, in fact the entire site, was down over the weekend. This was due to a catastrophic system failure on the web server, which we had to get reprovisioned and then restore everything from backups. The backup is from the early hours of Friday 15th March, so you'll notice a big gap in posts between then and now. I wasted my time posting all them flippin' match threads, that's for sure!! Anyway, it's all (hopefully) working again now. It might be a bit slow for a while, as there are a few tweaks that still need to be made on the new server to get it running efficiently, but if you spot any glitches, please post the details here and I'll investigate any as they pop up. Thanks. 17 32 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 At least it was over a weekend, many peoples productivity at work would have suspiciously gone through the roof if it had been over a couple of weekdays! 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's times like this you realise how much mental energy you put into posting. Without here as an outlet imagine the works we all completed over the weekend in other aspects of our lives. 48 hours off here and I was able to move a glass of water across the table with just the power of my mind. Thanks to John et al as always for huge efforts they put in to keep this thing going! Edited March 18 by DI Keith Fowler 2 1 I was born to run a club like this.

Yes you're right, it was. I've made some further tweaks on the server, to see if that helps. Fingers crossed... 1 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hallucinating Goose Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Thanks for getting it up and running again, I don't think I realised just how much I came on here until I was sat around at work without a clue as to how to fill the time in without totalrl and all my friends on here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Drake Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 At the risk of tempting fate, it all seems to be working ok now, so I'm going to unpin this thread. Thanks for all the feedback, and your patience in waiting for the site to come back online! 4 3 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
