    Default Database Failure

    Well guys.. The sites back up.. However, the DB failed and the last good backup was from October 2007..

    So we've lost some posts, and anyone that registered in that time will need to re-register (sorry)..

    With that being said, we're taking steps to make sure it doesn't happen again.. We'll be doing dual backups from now on..

    So we've got a lot of posting to catch up on.. Better get started

    P.S. Just tell your wives your busy helping up repopulate the forums...

    Thanks

    Congratulations with getting SRP back in the air again.
    I am quite sure most of us don't mind filling the gap of lost posts and threads!

    Just consider it an early spring cleaning!

    Thanks for the update David, and well done to you and anyone else who was involved in getting the site back up and running.

    I'm happy to see everything is up and running. A couple of broken images here and there, but that's small stuff at this point.

    David, if you're interested, I can steer you to a script that will create back-ups via a cron job. Let me know if I can help you out.

    Great work getting the site back up!!

    Surprising that there wasn't a good backup between now and Oct...too bad as it seems a lot of good info will be lost.

    Looks like some of are PM's were lost as well

    Great Job again

    Well congrats on getting it back up. I was wondering if there is a way to reset our post count? I am asking cause I was about to hit 500 and now look at me. I'm listed as a noob again.

    I think I will stick with the different name though. I will just have to get people used to it.
