Server crash and restore
September 07, 2010, 11:21:16 am

I've restored the database to our most recent backup.

Posts up until 03:00 on 27th August have been restored.

This really shouldn't have happened - the hosting company supposedly has RAID in place to prevent this so fuck knows what happened at their end.

I download backups every week or so to my computers for this eventuality. Unfortunately I hadn't taken one this weekend due to being otherwise occupied or we'd have had another weeks worth of posts backed up. Sod's law...

Good working getting it back up to date.

Weird that RAIDs not been of any use, perhaps they had a power surge that fried the drives, who knows.

The drives have been assimilated by The Borg

Poor Fiend, his hangover must be fixed by now but where did all his karma go?  :shrug:

Please insect overlord make this not happen again. I can handle it when the BBC website is broken, but this is just too painful, I didn't know that bits could just fall off and never come back  :'(

Hehe, kinda fitting really, it's all quite embarrassing getting so much fuss for a....err...number.

However if someone could wipe out the -ve karma that "Dude" character keeps giving me randomly, that would be appreciated.

Tis a bit rich, considering your the top smiter on the site, and you've smited me for nothing 5 times.

EDit: correction 9 times!

Turns out the hosting co could have been making daily backups for a fairly small extra fee ... that's now implemented.

Stats are pretty useful:

Firstly, you appear out of nowhere and smite me as a "cock" for no reason:
Quote
Dude (+2/-9) Fiend (+116/-39) - cock In topic August 14, 2006, 09:32:29 pm


To which I retaliated, below:
Quote
Fiend (+116/-39) Dude (+2/-9) - who the fuck is this "dude" non-entity? In topic August 15, 2006, 09:08:56 am




Secondly, after the last time I smited you:
Quote
Fiend (+116/-39) Dude (+2/-9) - still alive? what a pity. In topic August 22, 2009, 04:50:03 pm


You retaliate, below:
Quote
Dude (+2/-9) Fiend (+116/-39) - Just saw ur August 22nd comment. Why......? In topic November 08, 2009, 11:25:20 am


And then reappear, yet again, smiting me for no reason:
Quote
Dude (+2/-9) Fiend (+116/-39) - See you the top smiter of others - take this one Mr.Negative In topic August 12, 2010, 08:13:18 am


I have no idea what that is about and don't want to know.

I asked Bubba a while ago to remove all negative karma you have given me AND that I have given you, I am not interested in either. I'm not sure it is possible but I'll make the request again: To any available insect overlord, could you please remove all the -ve karma that "Dude" and I have given each other, that would be much appreciated, thanks.

Stats are useful, u are the most abusive poster, top of the negative swiping.
I called u a cock because u were acting like one. As u seem unable to take criticism u then launched into a string if tit for tat smites.

I note u have overlooked in your above post such pleasantries u sent my way like:

'fucking die you cunt, preferably in a car crash'

I'm going to leave this battle now and wish u peace, but word of advice:

"he who lives in a glasshouse shouldn't throw stones"

peace man and see yer later, Dan

I find it quite amusing / creepy that Fiend has this stalker who only ever pops up on the forum to slag him off and punter him.

MORE!!!  :P

Could be worse fatdoc ..... I was chatting to aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB last night and he reckons he's lost at least two ..... Mind you he is a bit prone to exaggerating when he's  :pissed:

Lots of us lost one or two. Fiend on the other hand lost about 15 plus all the positive comments about his recovery / 8a ascent. I reckon "Dude" was behind the crash.

thought I was having a blonde moment

Site seems to have become very unstable of late, is this down to increased traffic or more technical issues?

(Just curious)

Must be all the hot topics causing some overheating. Or hot air.
