We had a server outage this afternoon and are still making repairs. It appears that a user with modified privileges had been locking threads at a fevered pace. This abuse caused an error on our server as it was trying to write other posts and corrupted some of the tables. We are actively working to repair the damaged tables and have the OT forum back up soon.

We have removed the extended privileges of that user.

Please be patient.

I just now saw that. I have to wonder If he didn't cause Gambler and mine Accounts to become Corrupted. Oh well. Time well tell.

Ah, thanks...perhaps that explains the Black-9 forums as well. Thanks. Appreciate that!

The corruption thing happened to gambler last time. Everyone's names are just data. It happens when things go wonky.

Hoping for a quick return to normalcy

GW, It's all right, They are not trying to do anything wrong, and noone has been banned. The worst I can see, is that they (the admins) are working overtime, and Trying to fix everything else.

All the same, I have faith in them, as I've spoke with Ann twice now, and she is trying to figure out more about what happened.

Let's just be patient, Let them do there work, and Everything will get back to Order soon enough.

LOL Aldaron, that killed me.

Taldren_Admin · « **Reply #8 on:** October 10, 2003, 07:54:40 pm »

I really hope that I misunderstood your post GW. I am missing dinner and a movie with my family to fix these forums. And Erin and Lan have postboned thier trip today so that Lan can research what went wrong and fix it. I am sure what you mean to say is how grateful you are that we are trying so hard to get things back up fully because if we wanted to take the forums down...we would have to put any overtime into doing so. (there is a plug in the back of the server)

1 .... 2 .... 3 .... 4 .... 5 .....

Aladaron,
Please elaborate?

Okay, somebody cost me my rank, my tenure, and the space in my name with this foolishness. I'm ticked!

DONOTDELETE · « **Reply #11 on:** October 10, 2003, 07:57:46 pm »

Taldren_Admin,

I am grateful for these forums,
and all you efforts,

You may be somewhat "miffed" at the moment,
I believe though I am saying nothing to challenge your authority,
nor to disrespect you,

Am I in error here?
Please advise,
Thank you.

Respectfully,
GeneralWolfe

Just incase noone else has, THANKS for all the extra effort you Admins are putting in. It IS appreciated, despite what some people say.

Database errors happen. Complaining about the error is one thing, but biting at the admins for trying to FIX the problem doesnt help.

The same thing happened to Sirgod this go around. And in an earlier SIMILAR crash, Gambler lost all his info as well.

Rat_Boy · « **Reply #15 on:** October 10, 2003, 08:02:16 pm »

Same problem's up at the SFC3.net forums. Great, not only is my coverage of Operation Iraqi Freedom is gone for good, so's my Timeline (at least on the web).

DONOTDELETE · « **Reply #16 on:** October 10, 2003, 08:03:15 pm »

DreadlordGW,

With respect I am not "biting" at anyone,
I am not "biting" specifiically at any Admin,

Please do not attempt to characterise this as such,
At the moment I'm attempting to "walk on egg shells",
That is most certainly a delicate endeveaour,

GeneralWolfe

Same thing happened to me Ratboy, when I went to try and dig up the post about Sirgod's Wootage.

I have spoke to the AAdmin, and no one has been banned. At all . This was a major crash caused by an outside situation/Moderator.

I won't say who, However, We may have both lost our accounts and Etc.

I'm not worried about the rank though, It happens, But once again, there was no Malice on Ann or any of the other Admins/Moderators.

GW, C'mon man, I know you want to help them out as much as I do, so let's just try and work through this like the team we have all become when facing something like this.

Maybe your Wootage was too much for the forum to handle.

Dash Jones · « **Reply #19 on:** October 10, 2003, 08:15:54 pm »

I'll thank the Admins for working hard and overtime. I'm sorry that you are missing a movie with the family. Sorry you missed dinner. Thanks for working hard to get the glitches repaired tonight!
