Forum downtime

As you have noticed, the forum was down for about a week.

Actually it seems to be virtually exactly a week.

What happened was apparently the server was exhibiting signs of being hacked. The people at 1und1 shut it down because of that, and from what i've been told it's been like pulling teeth getting them to fix it (they've been saying it was going to be up soon for days)

Apparently the firewall got disabled somehow, which is what caused it originally. Anyway we're back now so woot.

And there was much rejoicing!

no forum makes Stefan go crazy....I guess that's why i made a sculptre of the Eifeltower in earvax while I was a sleep...

but now that we are back online, everything is back to normal!...

yay! No explodeys! I was worried there for a while...
Ironic that yesterday was Thanksgiving here in the U.S. Now I have even more to be thankful for.

I'm just glad there weren't backup issues.

Ditto. Down forums = bloodthirsty fatmus.

Now, about that transfer to the mrx server you were considering... if we can get a working backup handy and test it beforehand, do you still think that'd be worth it?

Something to consider, too: if it doesn't work out, will they let you come back easily?

Phew! I was getting worried there..

I missed this place. And thus, I am now going to chain myself to this forum. And hug it too ^_^.

Whew... i too was worried of implosion. I am glad things seem to have worked out.

Damn.

And I was hoping for another forum apocalypse too.

Seriously, I had money on it.

Alas, my pessimism remains unfounded.

It's been entirely too long since the last party on Shuryou's lawn, I say. We should hold them more often. As long as we don't have to bring the forum down every time.
