Server Downtime

***Ynot Shane*** · 04-10-2008, 06:03 AM

Our host went out of business without any hint of notice, but everything is back online without any data loss.

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 04-10-2008, 06:48 AM

Glad everything's back. And thanks for the correspondence while it was down.

***Cosmonautical*** · 04-10-2008, 06:52 AM

That's a pain, man. It's happened to me before, and I didn't even have a recent backup of my server at the time.

Metal Man · 04-10-2008, 06:57 AM

Happened to me, once. Luckily, they gave me a long time to switch servers... unlike the bums who simply kicked their servers down and never told anyone in this case. >.

Well that sucked.
Has your new host got better servers (ie better processing power)?

Dizzy · 04-10-2008, 07:41 AM

It wasn't just the forums. VGF and SMBHQ were down as well, and probably some other website I don't go to.

So, just out of curiosity, what is your new host?

Microphone_Kirby · 04-10-2008, 09:40 AM

I'm glad everything's back to normal... well, normal as it can be.

... I MISSED YOU ALL!!!!! *hugs*
