RedsZone is back up and running

[Boss-Hog]

All,

As you have probably noticed, for the past 23 hours, the site was unavailable due to an unexplained database crash. I worked with the makers of vBulletin and our hosting company, HostPC, to get the problem corrected, but unfortunately, several of the database tables were corrupted beyond repair. As a result, the site had to be restored from its latest backup, which was on 1/5. Thus, all posts, registrations, etc. between then have now have been lost, but I think that's a relatively small price to pay to be back up and running.

I'd really like to thank Joe at HostPC for doing a great job in doing his part to get the site restored as soon as humanly possible. He deserves a huge kudos for his efforts. Anyway, as as result of this, I will be making much more frequent backups moving forward in the event something like this ever were to happen again. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for your patience during this time.

Thanks for all the hard work Boss.

This seems so weird. I don't know where to start again.

Has this ever happened before?

Maybe we could reset RZ to December 1 and Willy Tavares doesn't become a Red.

Ahh...what a relief. Once again the greatest place to talk about any sports team is back up and running. Thanks!

As others have said, thanks for the hard work. It's a shame, because we've had some pretty good discussions the last week or so.

Thanks for the hard work.

For a minute there I felt like Jon Gruden, I thought maybe I was permanently banned from the site without my knowledge.

Good to know that hasn't happened (yet )

I feel like I've gone back in time while viewing the forums.

Wow, all of my drunken posts are gone. Well some of them. What a shame. :

I am not a computer expert, but I believe that the site crashed because the server had reached its limit of Adam Dunn posts.

Thanks for getting it back up!

Wow- you can wear out keyboard keys after 23 hours of attempted log ons. Guess I can log off now...
