The forum and the server...
« on: June 14, 2014, 07:07:25 PM »
So, we are back up for the moment...


Believe it or not, this is actually unintentional at this time...
I had to do some massage to the server last night to try and get a more recent copy of the database...  (The previous successful backup that was us corrupted was from May 1)


In doing that, apparently, I unintentionally tweaked some things which enabled the site to come back up...


That being said, we ARE in the process of reloading the forum to a new server and will hopefully be switching over on Monday.

Will any of the posts we've been making since the server has been up be lost once you get the most recent backup running?

In case anything does go missing during the transfer, I suggest that any of you who have written a particular long post in the last couple of days copy and paste it to Notepad (don't use Word) and save it there.  That way, should anything be lost, you can just repost it once the forum have been transferred to the new server.

Man, I was worried GW had shut the site down or something. Even google searches for the forum were coming up dry. Glad to hear thats wasn't the case.

Can you think of any reason why GW would shut us down?  I mean, I thought us avoiding that was what got people hot under the collar lol
If there is anything that recent politics has taught us, it is that quotes taken out of context can mean what ever you want them to.
Well I always liked the globals...
I knew I had fans!!!

Nope, I thought we did a good job avoiding issues which would result in that but when I couldn't even find a non working link in a google search I didn't know what else it could be lol.
