• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

What happened to the server on Jan 6th!?

We do have backups nightly to a dedicated drive. We ARE looking for a less expensive Cloud Storage ~TB solution for offsite backups.
Please PM Red and me if you know of a good one compatible with CPanel.
 
'/tired': I'll bet. Quite a bit of a marathon session to sort that out.

Thanks Schweddy, you probably don't get enough of the recognition you deserve.
 


I have not one clue of an idea hat any of that means.....but thanks....


Next week I have a friend coming over to show me how to delete old emails.

The changes from this weekend made zero changes to the experience. No extra buttons or whistles. This was necessary so that we can continue to have an experience here with the latest security updates.

Sounds good.

The changes last week upgraded our database to the latest software which is supposed to allow a lot more people to connect at one time.

Oh goody! More people for us to argue with and more chaos for your staff. What could possibly go wrong?
 
The problems had to have been caused by commies...

There are actually two mirrored forums. The good posters are on one, and the morons relegated to the other. Neither group knows about the other parallel universe.

Not sure which one we're on

Nor am I. Probably on the "moron mirror" since my IQ is 79.

Thanks, guys. Sorry for all the agita you went through to get up and running. To paraphrase Sally Field, you must really like us.

Or to paraphrase every Osprey pilot: "please don't crash".
 

You don't listen to sales people. You read the release notes, figure out if any of the changes will actually make your life better and then act accordingly. Unless of course the version you're running is end of life in which case your hands are tied.

Red worked double shifts at his job all weekend.

Was just me, myself and I. However, he did checkin and give guidance not to punch the ****ing wall a few times!

You did your best, it all worked out in the end, relax. We love this site.
I'll blame you for having the time to 'groom' the dog until the end of times though.
 
Sounds like someone needs a talking to.

To be clear, I mean the tech team.
 
On behalf of everyone who has ever been told that the system will be up and running within the hour and then has had to wait an ungodly amount of time, I thank you for your efforts.
 
Your hard work is appreciated! Kudos.

Thanks to you and Red for all the work and frustrations while I and the other mods enjoyed a "snow day" and never had to get out of our jammies!

If you were a loyal Wal-Mart shopper you would wear your jammies to your local store to shop in.
 


Thanks for your expertise and dogged determination
 
The number of posters on this thread speaks to the attachment people have for Debate Politics.

Social media is addicting and when sites go down some go into serious withdrawal.

I was concerned when I couldn't connect but quickly reverted to other things I love to do

But anyways, thanks for the hard work getting the site back up and running.
 
Then after you go through something like this you try to get some sleep and immediately check your phone/messages when you wake up and pray everything is okay.

The life of IT people.
 
The wife made bank being part of a team brought in to fix the upgrade to some corporation's system. It could be argued the upgrade was more cosmetic than beneficial but the VP's were told it would make the system slicker than snake snot on a warm brass doorknob....

The vendor's team would say such things as- "well that never happened before". They also were very haphazard in documentation, and coordinating with the cleanup crew was less than complete....
Made for a somewhat frustrating but quite profitable job for the wife....
