*** go to my last post for most current updates


I will update this post very soon.

We have had a major database crash and it's being worked on.

For the last 3 1/2 hours I have been on and off the phone with our hosting company. There was a MYSQL error (a database) and some files were corrupted. The last backup was done at around noon today. Data after that was not able to be retrieved. My apologies.

Due to this I am in talks at this minute with someone to upgrade our main s/w so this won't happen again. It probably should have been done but the shit to equity ratio wasn't there yet, now it is.

We will be going to the latest version of our software and there might be some planned downtime...which is much better than unplanned.

And they tell me the database isn't perfectly stable right now (fingers crossed).

You Da Man Leon!

We might have lost some data that will really upset me. It's being worked on and I don't know if it can be retrieved or not.

There will need to be some threads redone I am afraid.

As a result of this outage, the next Goldin Auction end date will be postponed indefiintely.

I am having a database person look at this tomorrow at noon time (but possibly later tonight). There is a chance we get stuff back but I am always a bit pessimistic.

There are some spots on the forum that are shaky right now, database wise. All I can say is sorry for the issues and it's being worked on as quickly as possible.

I lost my post and a PM someone sent me. I’ll repost when the site seems stable.

Sounds like they weren't really doing backups.

Not what I'd continue with.

I will do what I think is best for the forum and my sanity. They were doing backups but it was automated and they backed up a crashed site. Those things are being addressed.
