Am I the only one who now sees a great big nothing in this forum? The forum exists, but there is nothing there - says it's never been posted in. Hope it's just something about my computer that is currently ticking off the board and not an actual problem....

Well, Unfortunately, it's not just your computer TKD. Somehow all the entries on that entire section of the forum have been deleted. I hope there are fairly recent backups somewhere.

yeah the movie forum's entry in the MySQL database became corrupt, and it caused Nightscrawlers as a whole to shut down. in order to get the site back up, that sub-forum was deleted. we can restore posts to it, but our most recent backup is a month old, and all posts in all OTHER forums would be taken back by a month, as well. so we have to start from scratch in there.

So all the older threads are long gone?

Oh, well, I suppose that opens up some space to reopen my theory about Mags and Mystique...mwahaha. :devil

But...now I have to restart the Alan Cumming Thread. *sigh*

Just like when the board was corrupted before, some threads might be able to be rescued by searching for Google caches.

A thought.

Would the admins be interested in moving the board to a place like ezboard? I help admin a board there (Seattle Gothic), and in the 2+ years we've been there, there's been no technical problems with our forum. It also might cost less overall, as there's a way for members to contribute. There wouldn't be any space for file archives, but they could be kept here, and a link back to them from the forum.

I just thought I'd throw that out. ezboard is at http://www.ezboard.com

uh, thanks for the suggestion, but.... no. we moved this forum FROM a service very much like EZboard because we needed to expand. at EZboard we could not have our image gallery, our chat, the doodle board, etc. we are more than a forum. this kind of problem is very very rare, it was a freak occurance, and believe me, ezboard could have one just like it. their forum works in basically the exact same way ours does, and they are just as prone to freak MySQL errors. but their technical support is there to get it up and running faster (as it was the forum was only down for like 20 minutes). except we have absolute control over everything here.

'sides, since we use the webspace to host 5 domains, really, it is probably cheaper to keep it here. the webspace is the big cost, and it is being used for other things, and we'd still need to pay for it to keep those sites running.

the board has never been corrupted before. it was HACKED before. someone hacked into our server and deleted our database (along with dozens of other sites). then, we hadn't done a backup in like 4 months. now we do one monthly... at the beginning of the month. :

... actually, there is one thing i have not tried. hang on.

Jill,

Fair enough. I don't know the history of this place, so I thought I'd just suggest it.

Jill is my hero.

This means I don't have to go searching thru piles of google caches to repost. Yay!
I've left the board. Friends know where to find me :)
