Something about too many rainbow avatars... Anyway, there's a temporary chatroom for me to prove that I can be smarmy, sarcastic, cutting and vaguely humourous on a spontaneous basis. <evil laugh> |

Perhaps it was the elegant design combined with bleeding-edge functionality that consumed more than the site's share of available bandwidth. I'm sad to report that the gang on the QOL chat tonight is not quite the Algonquin Round Table. Clearly, P_G has left the building, dammit. |
| Penetration_Guru 25.11.2007 09:53 |
I was the only one left at 00:15 GMT. Had I known you were on your way.... I'd still have fucked off to bed. |

Technically it hasn't "crashed", it just didn't come back up after they moved it from one location to another. I don't know the specific issues, but they had database problems and they are trying to acquire backups from EMI as far as I know who aren't exactly the fastest moving company in the world as we all know. |
| gnomo 27.11.2007 05:13 |
Ian, just out of curiosity, and if you can disclose such info, and I know nothing of how phpBB works: what kind of OS/DB do they use? TIA |
| Ian-Highlander 27.11.2007 05:44 |
The backend of a phpbb forum is usually a relatively straight forward MySQL database although phpbb can be installed on several different types of database usually MySQL is the most common and popular choice for it, the OS is irrelevant as MySQL servers can be efficiently run on Windows or Linux although generally run better on Linux. The front end of the forums is php (as the name suggests) with a bit of Javascript for good measure. The QOL forums have been modified a fair bit by myself but I have backups of all of that side of things, regretfully the only thing I don't personally have a backup of is the main database. I only have a test database I use for development work on the site before putting stuff live. |

It's actually quite amazing how the board has been down for so long. The level of incompetence that these buffoons are showing is simply mind blowing. How in heaven's name can a message board be down for FIVE DAYS! How? What on earth are the fucking imbeciles doing? Not that I'm bothered...I have a life, but some people rely on it. ;-) |
| _Bijou_ 28.11.2007 14:05 |
Me being one of them. Lol ;) I didn't realize it was 5 days, at this rate it will be 5 weeks. Get it fixed! Please. :) |

"We are currently experiencing some problems with message board. " There is no reason for it to be down this long. If it's a database issue, they either have a backup or they don't. It would take less than 5 mins to restore a backup of PHPBB. |

| Ian-Highlander 28.11.2007 18:13 |
I got fed up with waiting, for anyone that would prefer the QOL forums, I've brought my "test" boards online for anyone who wants to use them. This is a complete replica of QOL but empty, people will need to sign up again if they want to use it and any posts made on it will probably not be carried over to the live site when it does eventually come back. link For what it's worth I agree with comments that have been made about this getting ridiculous. |
