Hi folks,

The main HD of the server started to break down a week ago. That obviously had to happen the day before I went on holidays, so the timing was perfect. I stopped the server on the 26th of July, and collected the machine from the hosting company on the 31th. The HD was too far gone to save the operating system's settings, so I had to do start from scratch after installing the new HD. That took a day, and then I had to wait a day until my agenda matched the one from the hosting dude.

In the meantime I updated the forum software, database engine, PHP, and whatever I didn't update since we started running this server in April 2010. I also removed those topics without posts that were left after the nasty hacker went through our forums a year ago.

Anyway, it's running again. I do have the feeling that the server is a bit slower, though. That's probably the database, and just affects the forums.

I'll bring the NWN servers up a bit later, need to check a few things first. And no, we didn't lose any characters or whatever.

Hope that satisfies any lust for information and sorry for the downtime.

Cheers,

Disco.

Thanks, Disco. We all appreciate your work.

...B is showing as "Unnamed Server" for me, though. Best take the server down for a couple of months while you fix that.

That's disturbing but given the circumstances I'll allow it.

You mean... I'm not the only person who checks from mobile like every 15 minutes?

Everything works like it worked before? Aside of the slow response time of the forums, that is.

Can we(Read you) make the server faster and better?

That's a very vague request. Can you elaborate?

I think he means response time you mentioned in the earlier post?

Y'know, this is like putting a crackhead into rehab for a week, then waving a big ole bag of crack in front of his face and leaving the room.

All that aside, good work chickenman!

Hey folks, there are some important Windows updates that I have to install today. Need to restart the server for that, which also gives me the opportunity to have a look at the database. We may be up and down a few times today. Isn't going to happen right now, but in 2-3 hours from posting.

The slow database (and thereby forum performance) is annoying the shit out of me. I think I'll see if I can fix that today. This may lead to some down/up/down/up/etc-time.

Looks like the new HD is a bloody slug... have to look further into that later.
