And no, there's no information as to why they were down. And there probably won't be for some time.

But, they are up!

Sure there is Wink

What happened to the forums?

It's important to note that we take lots of precautions to prevent the loss of data. Stratics is hosted on five production servers. The forums sit on a brand new machine with eight SAS drives operating in a RAID configuration. In the unlikely event that machine loses enough drives for there to be data loss, we contract for both local daily backups as well as local backups to remote datacenters in New York and the mid-west. That's an eight drive RAID configuration with brand new SAS drives and three daily backups. In this case, our primary data center accidentally wiped the data off the forums server while trying to install a new operating system on a similar looking machine. At the same time, we discovered that the system administration firm we contracted with at the time had not performed any recent backups in spite of correspondence with us to the contrary.

Thus we were forced to send the machine out for data recovery by a leading firm. Unfortunately, the process is very slow. Thus these temporary forums.

Apparently I didn't fish far enough. But yeah. That whole situation sucks.

I know I'd light a fire under someone's ass.

Sounds like someone is definitely getting fired. "had not performed any recent backups in spite of correspondence with us to the contrary."

Yeah, someone's screwed.

Definately. The words 'vigorously litigate' were the words of choice that I saw. Someone is boned.
