After 12 days...
Reply
Posted 2003-04-11, 11:31 PM
Half of the Iraq war has passed without Zelaron, and it has, by far, been our longest downtime during the 15 months we have been up in total.

So, I'm sure you're curious why such a catastrophic event could take place? Well, to make a long story short, the host we were currently with at the moment had decided to switch servers for everyone, so he simply took everything down while he waited for the new server to arrive. When it DID arrive, he complained about how slow and "useless for websites" it was, so we couldn't be back online either.

A relatively simple problem like this has completely consumed a popular board, and that's the whole story. However, there is a surprise for every Zelaroner to be expected within a week that I can't mention anything more about right now. The only hint I can give you is that it will most certainly protect us from insane downtimes like this again.

I, on behalf of the Zelaron staff apologizes for all of this. When I once said Zelaron is here to stay, I meant it. I still do. And guess what? We're BACK!!!

Hmm, it seems like we've lost about five days worth of posts as well, while the database works fine, at least to my current knowledge.

It is good to see the internet connections in iraq have been restored. Did the zelaron server get hit by any artillery fire?

None, really. I'll just use this for something else when... Er, I'm not allowed to say.

I've noticed this, too. Is this error on all themes or just Ocean?

I haven't fixed all images yet, and we lost a bit of content, as the last backup was from a saturday, when the board went down the following thursday.
