Server Problems

[Dyyryath]

As some of you may have noticed, the site has been down for a couple hours this afternoon. You may also notice that posts made in the forums since midnight last night are missing...<br><br>The server that drives this site had a catastrophic hardware failure earlier today (motherboad & RAID controller are both gone). I've brought the site back up, but the databases that handle both the forums & the Arachnid stats system were stored on a RAID array that is no longer available. I've moved the entire site over to a backup server and restored last night's backup of the forums. Aside from the missing posts, everything should be working again here at the forums.<br><br>The Arachnid stats system, however, will take a bit longer. I'm still going to put a little more effort into trying to recover the databases before I give up and restart the history fresh with a new db.<br><br>Sorry for the hassle, guys. If anybody notices something that's not acting as it should, <a href="mailto:dyyryath@zerothelement.com">let me know</a>. <img src=http://www.free-dc.org/images/news/icon32.gif>

Dyyryath,

Thanks for all your hard work. We wouldn't have this home without you and your hard work. As well as all the other Admins.

Don't know what you go through on a daily/weekly basis to keep it all together but I appreciate it. I'm sure everyone else does as well.

Thanks brother.

He couldn't bear seeing me take that place back from him. :cool:


Seriously though sorry to hear about the hardware failures, I wonder which one took the other out.

Hope its not too much moolah to get it fixed.

For those that didn't know, and need stats fixes, MacNN has stats for us to!
