Okay...we obviously had a database glitch as of last night. As I posted earlier (but that post is gone) I was trying to fix a database error we had been having for a long time. But in the process the "repair" basically cut-out about 70,000 of our most recent posts. To correct this I asked Interland to restore the most recent backup of the database. It appears that January 29th was the most recent they could do. I am not very happy about that. Another reason to change to a dedicated server where we can do our own backup routines I guess.

I apologize to all those who have posted important topics and replies in the past 5 days. We have only had one other serious loss of info in the 14 months the site has been up, but I will work harder to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again.

Ugg...and all my content additions from the past 5 days are gone too.

Sincerely,
Jim

No problem. We seem to bring the same subjects up every six months or so.

Holy Cow - the 29th. Man, if my DR fell back that far I'd have my back side in a sling so fast it wouldn't know which way is up.

Sorry for all the work that puts you through. If there's anything I can do to help just PM me.

Jim

Congrats that you are back online man though it`s a bit of a pitty that there are a couple of things lost.
Started to look like it was going to be a long day without the Big "A" :-) :-)

I think you deserve a cold one now :-)

Ouch.... that really hurt Jim.

Sorry this happened. I hope we can switch to a new server soon !

C'mon guys, let's put another dime in the jukebox.... Paypal is on the way .....

I hope you mean January 29?!

Jan,
Lol...yes I meant Jan 29, 2003.

Jim

Wow.. that was a bummer.... I even got DEMOTED from a corporal back down to PFC..lol
But at least it's back up and running..

Quite the shock to read the news this morning Jim, and I'm sorry to hear that this has happened, but if there's anyone that can figure it/this out, it's you!

Good luck with moving this baby to someplace more reliable! I'm quite certain that you'll handle it A-OK!

Your preaching to the choir..

we hope you get that server soon..

Hey! I missed Armorama this morning

I need Armorama in the morning as much as I need my coffee!

Yeouch!!!!

Looks like PMs from the past 5 days were lost too? (Jan, if you replied to any of mine last night, I didn't get them... )

Glad the site is back up, though!

YodaMan

I posted one of these #:-) for every post I lost ......

I figured you were cross with all the current event posts and deleted the lot of them...Guess not.

Cheers,
Paul

Well done for getting it back spot on time Jim. I'm sure we will pick up the pieces soon enough.
BTW Jim I, couldn't get out to get that copy of Linux whatever today, I will get it tomorrow if you still want it.
Roll on that new server.

Roger

I can't say it better.

For those that had been demoted, look the other side - You have an excuse to go to the bar again to celebrate the promotion for the second time.

What about that ? Let's celebrate again.

I'll drink to that

(Any excuse for a party)

Roger
