Posted: 9 Sep 2007, 4:21pmSubject: We're Back!
Recently our hosting company decided to move us to a new, more powerful server without telling us. This caused us a few headaches as those of you who experienced the twilight zone are aware. Despite having a new, more powerful server things came grinding to a halt on Friday when this wonderful brand new machine decided to die. Our hosting company, with all of their expertise and wisdom in the field of web hosting some how kinda forgot to turn on back ups for this new server. Naturally we were far from happy about this as we have lost all of our information, stretching back to 2003! We are now back up and running on a new Australian based server, which means that the things should be a tiny bit quicker than the old server. We have also switched to a new forum software which seems to be a bit more secure and stable than the phpBB software we were using previously.

Special thanks once again going out to Oli for his time and assistance in getting this new setup online!

Apologies to anyone who had to do work during our downtime, and sorry to anyone who has lost any information from the old board - we are just as, if not more, annoyed than you about the loss.

Im feeling for you mate and sorry to hear.

I found the profile settings which allows you to set the board back to last post first and to direct you back to the thread content after posting. Was great to see that the option was there and could be updated easily by the member.

Now im off to check the new features!  :lolslayer:

aaaaaarrrrrrrgh!

not again! its like 2003 again :teef:

what a pack of useless f-wits your old server dudes must have been. seriously, that is fucking lame. so they didnt even have back ups from the old server? wonder if any other customers of theirs (ie bigger, more commercial) would be trying to sue their arse.
we've now lost so many posts about noddy wanking over tied up crying girls that it almost seems too hard to go on from scratch again.

There's a setting in your profile to view it the way the forum was before, if you want it upside down.

Haven't been on lately and just found out I had to re-register. Thank god the forum can now be viewed like every other forum (100s) ive ever been on with the original post first down to the oldest.

Its nice being able to click a thread and know exactly what its about without having to trawl backwards through it to find out what the point of the thread was originally!
