Hey guys, if you haven't noticed, we had some troubles with the forums in the last couple of days. Things are working now BUT we lost several days worth of posts and PMs, going back to around midday Sunday, March 1.
Folks, if you have ongoing conversations or BST trades, I suggest you reach back out to everyone involved to make sure everyone is updated properly on what happened.
Sorry for the inconvenience, folks!

Re: Posts/PMs rolled back
any idea why it happened and why we should think it won't happen again? the forums have been buggy for near two weeks now...
Re: Posts/PMs rolled back
Last time it was because something updated on the back-end and caused a cascade of issues. I haven't heard yet what happened this time, just that we're up and running again.dsheinem wrote:any idea why it happened and why we should think it won't happen again? the forums have been buggy for near two weeks now...

I don't know who is actually in charge of maintaining the server, forum software, etc. -- but a bit more detail about the actual nuts and bolts of what's been going on would be appreciated...from Nick, fast, or whoever might be able to explain it.

Re: Posts/PMs rolled back
It was all my fault. You see....this past week, I wasn't preparing for a baby shower. I was committing an act of terror. The servers are here in Michigan and I may have sent out my trained pack of Racoon Assassins to take down the servers. Little did I know, they would be more interested in the garbage cans outside the building.dsheinem wrote:That doesn't really explain muchAck wrote: something updated on the back-end and caused a cascade of issues.

Luckily, those garbage cans were knocked down and set off an awfully convenient Rube Goldberg Machine of coincidences that sent the power lines crashing down.
True story.

Re: Posts/PMs rolled back
I remember reading in some online articles that there was going to be a leap second added at the end of the month in February.
And that it may cause problems for computers.
Maybe that's what happened to our precious little piece of internet?

Well Dave, if you really want to know, here is a verbatim response from fast about what happened this time:dsheinem wrote:I don't know who is actually in charge of maintaining the server, forum software, etc. -- but a bit more detail about the actual nuts and bolts of what's been going on would be appreciated...from Nick, fast, or whoever might be able to explain it.
