Our database server wiped out by our friendly ISP

*kicks rackshack.net* thnx alot guys :@ imagine if u had done that toa site that doesnt make backups of their database regularly! it woulodnt be so funny would it??

We managed to save some of the news, but forum messages and new user (and changed) details are simply gone.

What a great site! Never got so much out of a place before, always been a lurker. I've done a little programing, graphicwork, and PC stuff. You've got it all, and the new design is so easy to use. T-shirt, Yeah!

BIG BROTHER STRIKES AGAIN??? but little brother is smarter!

Oh thats why I got update notifications and no update was on the thread. Ok, Good to hear. Well bad to hear, but thought it was the update procedure and was scared it would happen to every thread. We back up every week to month. Imagine if the backup you used was Nov, how much then would be lost. Crazy thinking about it.

Dirty rotten b@stards. There are LOADS of people who depend on this site and the information within....on a daily basis. It's the ISP's loss now. AfterDawn needs an ISP that can keep them in the loop and discuss sh!t before they do stuff. Very unprofessional if you ask me. Best of Luck to AfterDawn and their staff for keeping this site up and running uninteruppted. Obvious they put a tonne of effort into the site. Just my two (2) cents.. BlkPnthr

I went to look at my thread E-mail notifications, clicked on the thread link .... The post was in Finnish. Confusion set in. Went to the news page and all was made clear. I just want to say thanks to all who work to provide us with this great site. This forum has such a clean and user friendly look compared to most. Frank

Alright round two! I'd love to be the envy of every kid on the block sportin' a fresh A-D shirt! Great site guys! Love the new interface.

nice layout seems real professional. Oh yea t-shirt is the r0x0rs

The new layout looks pretty good. Its easy on the eyes for sure. Good job guys.

The site looks great. My only problem with it is that every other time i try to go here, it doesn't work. Either get a unix error, 404 error, and sometimes an error about too many people accessing the site (but i understand this one).

sly_61019: The situation what you describe is caused by the incident described in this news item. We lost our database server and now run it on rather unstable production web server alongside parts of the website. Situation will improve within next couple of days once we manage to transfer our server farm to new ISP.

got it

ignore my previous comment. I wish i could edit my message when replying to news.

You can :P

I am still getting used to the new look but it defidently is much prettier. Me likes.
