Unexpected downtime

Post by Ron2K »

Hi all,

If you're wondering why the site was down just now - we had a MySQL crash, not sure what caused it, but that's what happened.

I managed to sort things out with the hosting guys and it looks like we're working again. :D

Yeah, when KillerByte phones you up and the Horde of Angry Spammers set off Google Talk like crazy, you know something's seriously wrong. :P

Translation: I got them to press the big button which had reset written on it. :D

When in doubt, reset.

There comes a time for every vampire when the idea of eternity becomes momentarily unbearable. Living in the shadows, feeding in the darkness with only your own company to keep, rots into a solitary, hollow existence.

bit of a late reply but work has been hectic.

thanks to Ron2k for sorting out the issue. I would have thrown something at Dalfers but he was away for the day.
What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.
