Last Server Outage (Lost ALL blog entries, and Forum Posts)

Posted on August 14, 2008 by Jesse Zylstra

Last outage:

The servers was down from approx.. ~12AM 8/8/08 to ~6PM 8/9/08
There was a power outage in the local area, and I believe there may have been a surge. All the computers components seem to be fine, but, all the data either became deleted or unusable. We did a reformat of the server, and reinstalled Ubuntu Server Edition.  Our latest backup was from February 2008… thats a potential problem. We had no MySQL backups. 

This means that if you registered on the forums, you will need to re-register, and all blog posts, and forum posts, as well as blog comments and forum bans/logs have been lost completely. Its a completely fresh restart, except for the HTML pages on the site, which were backed up.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
