Oct 21 2008 server outage

[Admin]

Hey folks.... The server for some reason shut itself off today.... I have restarted it.... Time to get a UPS I guess....

Server went on strike when someone posted another synth oil thread?

I got the shakes, started biting my nails again, had a drink, did some drugs, kicked the dog , beat up the wife, went out and set fire to some cars.

Thanks Dennis for the update, and for all the hard work you put in to the site.. I will say that I was stuck at work with NO FZ6 Forum, and was bored to death, well obviously not true death.. but I had to hang out on that other forum it is really just not as nice as here. Glad to have the site back up and running

It had to be the ONE day that NOBODY was in the office...no coworkers, no boss....just me.... So I just cried and crawled under my desk pushing F5 every two minutes

This happens once, and then it doesn't happen again. Got it?

Wow, I thought this sight was hosted by a faceless corp that was set up by Admin, I had no idea he actually is the site?

Now that I know, I want to thank "Dennis" for creating such a superb forum!

I really enjoy reading the posts, and learning from other members experiences, and I was bummed when the site went down.

Again, what a fine job you do Dennis.:bow:

Thanks

Thanks Dennis!!! I got really worried and thought that my computer may have had something in it, then I tried my iPhone and that was scary.... I couldn't log on for a really long time.... Oh well... all back to normal! Thanks again man!

Looks like it was a power issue... I have orderd a UPS but all that will do is allow time for the server to shut off if the power fail eliminating the risk of data corrupion ( and I will be able to turn on the cache on the sata drives)...... There was a little database corruption from the failure but it was easy to fix..

The forum servers are backed up every day in the early am to an off site backup service server that mirrors itself to another server in a different location ( triple redundancy) so we are good.

I use this for the off site backups its cheap!!

I noticed the server was ping-able yet I could not open the page yesterday PST. I also noticed several spamming posts advertising some products. For second I thought someone hacked in.

I don't want to thread jack, but what kind of oil should I use?:justkidding:
