..Net54baseball was down :(
 

Hey folks
I am so sorry. Our hosting company moved data centers and didn't tell me. I am not sure if we will stay up but I hope so. I apologize very much but I had no clue about it. best regards (and thanks for all of the emails)

Relieved
 

Thanks for the update, I thought it was something I said.

Thank you for the update / explanation.

Welcome back all.
I hope my twitching from Net54 withdrawal will settle down now soon.
Now back to all the T206 threads.

down
 

Thanks Leon,
I think Barry must be having some serious withdrawl from not being able to post all day.:eek::eek::D

and
 

and don't think this has gone unnoticed to the hosting company. My emails to them have been less than kind. At the very least they should have warned me and I could have relayed the message. I have been livid (well, sort of) for the last 15 hours. ......

down
 

Leon,
I think you should send them a picture of a burned in half T206 card . Maybe that will let them know we take things serious around here!;););)

or maybe an 06 hanging by a noose :). This is serious stuff, this here baseball cards!!!

down
 

maybe your suggestion would be better!:D:D:D

Ohh my, I thought annonymous hit this site simultaneously with the CIA website!! [/sarcasm]

Leon- i think the "horse's head in the bed" would be best.

glad we're back up and running!

Thank GoD
 

Leon,

I almost SHXX myself!!:)


Didn't know what to do....actually had to comb ebay:eek:


;)

Hey Leon You need to let the hosting company know some of us collect baseball bats ;) Thank You for your time getting us back up. The better half says Thank You very very very much!

I actually had a conversation with my wife. I hope this does not happen again for another year or so.

Leon, they didn't warn any of the forums they host - another hobby forum I participate on was also walloped last night, unannounced.

lol!

Madness!
 

Finish this sentence...

"An evening without N54 is like an evening ..."

...watching home movies with your crazy aunt.

Please continue...

that was funny:D

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Was it about baseball cards?

Kinda, the conversation was about me being obsessed with anything I ever do and wondering why I can't use my obsessive nature to do something productive around the house.

My wife got a kick out of that one! She said, "I don't know what breaks up marriages more: Net 54 being up, or Net 54 being down."

My wife made a passing comment as I wondered in and out of the den/kitchen, "Slow night on the boards?"

Contacted the Server Host CEO
 

I sent them a jpeg of a 44-ounce Louisville Slugger with some fake blood on it . I put a quarter next to it so they'd think it was from Leon.

Nice one Mike....and those are some pretty funny comments guys. We really do have some supportive better halves. And in total transparency here is a message I just got from the hosting company. My response back to them was that, I understand, and had I known BEFOREHAND, it wouldn't have been too big of an issue.. I can sort of equate this to when we moved to our new software approximately 3 yrs ago....It pretty much had to be done as we had outgrown the antiquated Network54 software.Global Gold Hosting (our hosting co.) was bought by IOMart several months ago. Here is Chris from their company explaining the situation.


"GlobalGold previously rented datacentre space in three different sites and had its servers there. Iomart actually own 5 of their own datacentres which are manned 24x7 by their own staff onsite, all Iomart Datacentres are highly redundant. The servers were moved last night into iomart's Maidenhead datacentre so that our staff can better respond to issues rather than using "remote hands" outsourcing externally, or sending staff to visit a datacentre. The downtime was the time it took to power down all servers and for them to be transported and re-racked and brought back online. The outage window was 10pm last night with all to be online between 4am and 6am
- unfortunately some unforeseen events caused the 6am long stop time to be missed for a small number of customers.

The plan that is progressing through was to first get our engineers full control of equipment, then move the servers into our datacentre, then start adding more servers into the GlobalGold pool to boost performance and reliability. I'm guessing you've had a good service previously to raise this particular event. Unfortunately, that has not been the case for many customers who have been going offline regularly, it became essential to do this move so that we could better deliver a quality service.

Our staff who manage the datacentres 24x7 also deal with support tickets, so there will be improvements to support. Also, now the kit is all in Maidenhead, our monitoring systems are being installed across the board which immediately flag any issues to datacentre staff for swift response."

As an IT guy, I can fully understand their need to make the move, but they should've let you know beforehand!!!

Im glad the sites back up.Net 54 and SGC Registry at the same time.I realized how much time I really pass on cards.

I found myself saying " I want my Net 54 " to the tune of "I want my MTV" promotion from years ago. Glad we are back on track.

Without Net54, I spent more time on eBay searches than I have in a long time, and stillI went to bed before midnight, for the first time in a long time!

For a second, everyone think if we didn't have Net54...we would be forced to use Ebay for our primary source of T206's.

Anyone puke yet?
