Earlier today I noticed HLP had problems accessing MySQL database; the mysqld server process was not running. After starting MySQL again, I noticed most of the forum database was gone. Timing matches with weekly maintenance window, it is likely that the database was corrupted because mysqld server process crashed while there was scheduled maintenance running. Naturally we will investigate the reason for this crash. I used the latest backup of the forum database to restore the forums, unfortunately all posts that were posted since last friday are gone.
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

*blink*

Well this sucks...
-
At least it wasnt the whole board over a joke of sorts....
-
Well. Not what I was expecting to see, and most unfortunate at that. Glad to know we keep accurate backups though.

Meh, don't think I could give a **** myself, BWO hasn't progressed dramatically in the past week, neither has TVWP, I'm cool.

My God! I've... i've travelled through time!!!!

You're ok unless you start seeing posts from the future.
:nervous:
-
crap, quite a few things have disappeared.
-
Um yay. A whole weeks worth of internal discussion gone. =/
-
When is this "maintenance window"? Is that the cause of the daily downtimes we've been having for the last week?
-
Naah... It's just Fury showelling spam from the forum filters... It has to be done weekly or the lover levels will be flooded and become unuseable. :D

I hope it's not my fault :blah:

So is there any chance of our post re-apearing? Or have they gone where they have never gone before?

Yes, we do this just to tick you off.

Every 7 days. The maintenance means scheduled optimize of the forums database and error check, maintenance is skipped if there are more than X number of people online. During database maintenance, forums probably won't respond.

Unfortunately no chance of recovering any posts that were posted since last friday.
-
Tell me again why you guys switched to this board?
-
Aw, nurts.
All my witty banter in Char's "I'm a whiney little girl" thread - lost.....
-
What does this have to do with what forums are used? Should mysqld process be terminated unexpectedly, any data being modified at that point will most likely be lost. As to why the process was terminated, will be investigated.
-
There go our interesting discussions contained within the Go France thread.
Hmm...
-
Wowsers. Me not being here in the past week actually came in handy! I don't feel any sense of loss at all! :p
-
You did this!!
-
I take it you will allso fix the forums going down every other day?
-

EEp.
-
Wow. That seriously played with my mind.
*goes to prevent Charismatic's thread from being closed again*

I was kidding. joking. you guys in former russia know about joking, no?
It is beginning to become a lot silly, however. wasn't the whole damn point of skipping servers increasing the damn uptime?

In former Soviet Russia, joke tells you.....

Former Russia? :wtf:

I say, switch again, but this time use the host sectorgame does. It seems reliable.

Third one down looks about right.
-
They could use my server, but they don't trust me.

No experience necessary?
-
hehe, whoops, didn't notice that. But seriously the specs look about right, I think. Of course I don't know how much bandwidth and space HLP eats up.
-
for FREDs sake; I had to reregister! also I lost my introduction tread - I practicly wrote an essay on how I discovered the magic of freespace!
*sob*
-
I look at it this way, in 2 weeks time, you won't be able to remember a single thing that you posted and has been deleted, you probably can't remember everything that was posted and deleted even now ;)
-
Well, I had some PMs I still remember. :p
-
whoa...this is good for me, I can re-release my models when they are fixed an no one will be the wiser!
if at first you don't succeed, erase any evidence that you tried, and I didn't have to erase it!

Calm down. Seriously.
There's no reason to get your knickers in a knot about this. It's just a forum. There is Real Life™, and there are other forums, namely ones like GTD Bastion which need more attention.
Instead of worrying about a thread full of cynicism about relationships and some scattered advice, how about just handling the problem in Real Life™ first before coming to us? We're a close community here, but we're no substitute for people in the real world.
-
Yeah i know; and i am working on it. Meh. Give me time. *is calmer*

I just go to the AT video forum when this place goes down. The AEG guys all came out of hiding a few days ago and there has been no shortage of flamewar drama over there since then. :D
