Sorry Guys - On the Server Reset

I'm really sorry guys... the downtime was completely my fault. I screwed up something with our MySQL database, which corrupted everything. I had to do a complete system restore and match each individual site files with its database back from April.
We should be back up now... unfortunately we won't have the last 4 months of data. If you have backups or cache, and you think its good to post back up here, please send it my way. That means all forums post and accounts have been lost... if you created an account between April and now, you will need to create a new one.
The good news is that I took the time to upgrade the software on all the sites. All should be using their latest stable version. As well, there is a new security system (Bad Behavior) on most of our PHP scripts that should prevent many attempts to spam and hack the server.
IRC, CVS, and other secondary services are on my platter next. Report any bugs my way. Also if you need any access set up again (email, web, ftp, etc)
Thanxs to everyone whose checked in with me. I appreciate that you guys are interested and involved. You guys remind me why I've stayed up this weekend to really get the sites back togeher. And again, sorry guys!

(User Info | Send a Message) | Thanks for working so hard to get the site back up Evaders. I know you probably feel real bad about your screw up, but don't sweat it, we can always post some more. Maybe backups should be made more often? Anyway, thanks for all of your hard work getting things fixed and updated.
How does one get hold of you if SWR is down? I tried an e-mail address I had for you, but unfortunately it was a "swrebellion.com" address which wouldn't go through.
OK everybody ... get postin' ! |

(User Info | Send a Message) | Don't worry about it E, everyone makes mistakes - and the fact that you've gone to such great lengths to restore it just goes to show what type of person you are.
We're bloody lucky to have someone like you running these forums! |
