Forum Service Issues and Updates
« on: Monday 27 December 2010, 12:39:30 AM »
This was requested the other day so here we are. Please feel free to discuss any technical issues you have with the forum in here. Generally though if it's down or slow for you then it will be for everyone else.

We'll also post any known issues and updates relating to the forum in the OP of this thread.

First thing to mention is that we have finally initiated scheduled backups of the forum and database (ie all the posts, PMs etc). This was meant to be at a slightly more ridiculous hour but there's a known bug with our web hosting program so it doesn't do it as I asked. As a result, scheduled backups take place around midnight every Sunday. When this is happening, the entire domain is suspended so you will see 404 errors. This is normal, and once the backup is complete the domain will come back online. These backups are automated by the server so please don't assume that it won't happen if all Admin happen to be offline.

That's about it for now.

That would explain it then. I was getting mightily f***ed off with my computer about 40 minutes ago.

Thought you'd forgot to pay the server bill, Dave. :lol:

When are you popping round next with the server donations bucket, anyway? ???

Doing alright for now, thanks both to the generous donations last time and a couple of kind souls who donate on a monthly basis. Cheers. :)

It crossed my mind that whatever was posted in the Vaguely Amusing thread must have been really f***ing bad and the site got closed down :lol:

Back to normal now. Worked f***ing well IMO, can't remember it going down once during the game.

Same. Mind you, I wasn't on the forum so maybe that's why...

I do like a good SMF connection problem or two.
Got a vibrtating love egg stuck in wor lass last night. The string snapped to get it out. It was remote control so I kept turning it on, then i realised she was nearly crying. Had to fish it out. Never mind.

I looked the devil in the eye, went home and jerked off. That's standard procedure.

Was just talking to Dave about VB. It's quality but can also be more prone to attacks due to it's popularity. But it's the way to go if funds allow as it's pretty solid. Prices

Speaking of due...you pic in the other thread is hilarious!  ;D
Players come and go, managers come and go, chairman come and go, and even stadiums come and go. But we, the fans, are always here and always will be. We are the lifeblood of this club and our ownership is in our hearts. Nobody can take that away from us!

Since last night it randomly decides to run really slow for me. Is it just popularity issues like you've already spoken about in ehre?
