Server outage

Post by Dog » Thu May 15, 2008 12:40 pm

Apologies for the outage this morning.
The database got borked (with all the spammers here, it got rather large).
The user database was corrupted *sigh*

Things will be icky until I get the database optimized.

Dog, we tried to warn you not to upgrade to Vista. Things were running just fine on 3.11 for Workgroups.

Does anyone else have 65535 unread messages? :shock:

The 65535 messages....
:lol:

A few people got them. It seems that anyone who had a message waiting had this.
65535 = -1!

PM me (hehe) if you have that problem and I'll fix the database!

I was so worried too, that the server and the data got lost. Glad to see it back working and with a healthy database.

thanks dog :)

When I left for work and saw it was down, I didn't think much of it. When I checked on my lunch break and it was STILL down, I started getting a bit worried.

Thanks for getting everything back to normal! Image
