Were Back!
« on: December 19, 2001 - 11:58:30 AM »
well that was pretty nasty.  wasnt sure i was gonna be able to save that.  as best I can tell the server im running this board on ran out of drive space and when that happens the board starts acting whacky.  Fortunately I had a fairly recent backup.  Unfortunately the backup wasnt recent enough to prevent the loss of some threads.  I learned a valuable lesson.  Back up files every night before I go to bed!  Ill do my best to prevent any thread loss in the future.

And just as a side note, Im still working on the new look but hope to have to ready soon.  Ive submitted this site to about a dozen of the major search engines so hopefully we'll have some fresh members rolling in here within a week or two.

oh and one last thing.  through all this some of the file permissions might have got a little screwed up.  if your having problems posting, or viewing certain threads email me and ill get to it asap.

Wow!  We filled up drive space pretty quick.  Just out of curiousity, what takes up the most drive space on the board?

the messages are the bulk of our space, but i dont think thats indicative of much.  theres a lot of other sites and good stuff running off the same server so I kinda doubt were the ones pushing it to its limit.  i was told the server people forgot to clear out there logs recently which they normally do to help free up space

Whew. :o
Good job on getting it back up and running. I'm not sure how your server is set up but you should ask them to allocate a certain amount of space just for you, if it's not like that already. The only flaw with this script is that it freaks out if it can't write to its files so it's important to have available disk space.

Does this mean the latest posts of mine didn't get backed up, by chance?

:(

I imagine all the graphics I was slammin' into my posts didn't help keep the disk space usage down to a minimum, eh?  Sorry!  :(

Just wondering if the threads I did will pop up eventually, or whether I should write my bazoonies off again.  :)

Oh, one more thing ... I logged in earlier as DragonBull (LahTera_Alaska@hotmail.com) because of the login problems.  You can delete that user if you'd like.  

Or, if you'd like, I could keep it and use it for some real fire-breathin' posts.    8)  Hee hee!  
<-- Couldn't resist. ;)  Consider it a test?
