Apologies for the downtime overnight. I applied an update yesterday and for some reason a file did not get uploaded during the update. So when that file was called for at 3:30AM this morning, it crashed the site.

Everything is back up and running, smooth sailing ahead. :D

The site went down again overnight. There is an issue with an update that is happening. I am in contact with the developer right now and am sorting out the issue with him.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused. :hattip

I have had the unresponsiveness issue as recently as 30 minutes ago.
I am not showing anything server side right now that would suggest we are having any issues serving out right now. I continue to watch it closely.

In the next few minutes we will probably be restarting the server due to some changes made, so that will cause a couple minutes downtime.

Basically a program auto-updated and reverted a setting back to an old setting and well, it borked.

Nah didn't freak out, just jumped into action and got er' done.

Still working on the current issue. I have brought our server guru on for this one, Matt. He is on the job.

We should be good to go now. Server guru Matt found the issues and quickly remedied them. He also made sure the backups are running and verified all is well.

I owe Matt 2 hours of service(2 hours is £40 which equals about $60). If anyone would like to pay for this please contact me via PM. If you cannot pay both hours, then picking up just one hour would be awesome. You will be paying directly to him via paypal.

edit: I owe Matt 3 hours now, so that is about $90. If you can help please send a PM. Even if you can only pay an hour of it I would be very grateful.

Apologies for the downtime today.

The hosting company had a hardware failure. After it was fixed when the server was brought back up, our database was corrupted. I called up Matt(I was not able to get to the backups at that time) and he pulled the backups. The server went down at 8AM this morning, we were able to pull a backup from 6AM. So we lost 2 hours of posts, that's a very nice recovery.

Everything looking solid now. Matt is checking on things to make sure they are smooth. This one was out of our hands for a while until the hosting could repair the hardware that was broken. Rest assured, if the forum is ever down please know that I am focusing 100% on getting it back up as fast as possible. I know what this place means to all of us.

On that note, I still owe Matt some funds. And I will probably owe him a bit more after today although he has not billed me yet. If you want to help with paying him please PM me and I will get you his information so you can pay him directly.

Thanks Charlie.
:hattip

Half of the server guru bill has been paid, thank you to that awesome person who paid it. We have about £30 more to go, which is about $45. If you are able to take care of it please send me a PM.
