Server Issues, Etc

[Torq]

OK,

For the folks that have been around the Library for awhile, you know at times we have ""Issues"" with our servers and drives!

YES, once again the system went haywire!! We were down completely for 3-4 days and now we're re-building once again!!

Data loss we have seen so far is as follows;

Forums and Blogs everything from 8/19 thru today 10/5, this includes Posts, Threads, Name changes, Tags, Etc.

Stories a bit more everything from 6/27 thru today,,HOWEVER we have additional back-up for stories and will be re-built ALMOST entirely, We may only be missing some 6/27 thru 7/15.

Chat is Chat it's live so no data loss BUT may have members that need to Re-register, Name changes, Tags Etc.

Once again I ask PLEASE BE PATIENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are working day an night to get everything back on track!

In addition we are also making a network and server change, more to follow!

Be Well
T

Glad to see we are back with less of a major loss than last time, then... Good luck with the rebuild!

[PixieStick]

Thank you so much for working so hard to get the library up and running again! I love this site, and appreciate you guys!!! =)

[karel]

Excellent work in getting everything up and running this fast again, thank you!

Greetings, Karel

Thanks for this update! I was starting to think it was me & wondering what on earth I did wrong that all my recent posts were removed. I haven't been on in a week or two & didn't know the site went down. Anyways, glad it's up & running again

[Snark]

Whew! I was jonesing bad...both the site and I needed a fix!

Such things happen.

Would you like a professional consultant to look into your data back-up architecture. (I know you all are smart and I know you wouldn't "let" this happen were it not for some idiosyncracy of the board or a cost factor, but perhaps a third eye might find a flaw you've overlooked or a cost effective alternative.) There was a time I was a pretty good systems architect.

a third eye

HAH! I knew there was something different about you, Oz. It was staring me in the face all this time.

Good luck to you guys rebuilding the site. The frustrations we feel are minuscule compared to yours. I know how annoying it was to rebuild my own system after an HD crash. Something like this has got to be 1000 times worse!

HAH! I knew there was something different about you, Oz. It was staring me in the face all this time.

Heheh...

[sweetlynaughty]

Thank you for all your hard work!! Good luck in rebuilding We appreciate all your hours of dedication!!

[rosebud]

Ahhhh...Home Sweet Home! Big squeezes of appreciation!

[Aurelie.Catena]

Glad to see the library back. I was missing it.

And glad to have survived to the crash, this time...

[kamelia_24]

It is good to have this website back. Well no big damage, we all know how servers work ...

[mechgogo]

Frustrating as it is, thanks for letting us know whats up and thanks for working on it guys. Y'all really do provide and important service to the legions of pervs out there.

Would this be why a couple of my recent reviews seem to have disappeared?

[JimmyJump]

Would this be why a couple of my recent reviews seem to have disappeared?

Yes.

I've made copies of all my reviews, after the December 2009 crash... reposting the lot as stories reappear...

[Losalt]

Oh well.

Thanks for your hard work Torq and co we all appreciate it :-)

[Reya]

I was so scared that something was just wrong with my computer. Thank you guys so much for working so hard to get things back to normal. We all appreciate it so much.

[JustALittleRougher]

Thanks for all the hard work.

[sela]

Ahhh, so that explains why i had to re-register! i was thinking, "what the heck did i do to deserve this!" ... lol

Torq, thank You for Your hard work and diligence ... i missed my family here!

[Snark]

Out of curiosity, was this just a server drive crash, or was it a malicious critter inspired event? It seems a bit more involved than a rebuild/restore.

Enquiring Minds and all that...

[Cathryn Blackthorne]

Was this just another casualty of the bug last week, or have I been abandoned for greener pastures?

[Snark]

Torq,

Thanks for all the hard work. We do appreciate it. But, that's why you get the big bucks, right?

Snark

[Snark]

Gee! I make only half that much! Maybe I should get out of construction and into web site admin work!

Thanks, though.

Love 'ya (mean it!)

is Chat broke or is it just me.

[moco]

No it isn't you, chat is broke...*sigh*....time to break into the "chat is broken" emergency survival kit.

[subrob99]

beautiful moco thanks for the update hope to see you in chat soon

[drunkclam]

I registered on 9-13 and apparently something happened and it got deleted. I reregistered. Why did this happen?

[Thorne]

Read the opening post on this thread. There was a major crash.

[THE Traveller]

Hi there,

When I go to my profile and search for all my posts or threads started by me, I get only a few results back. Is there a way to solve this problem or are older posts deleted?

Thanks
