What happened to the forum??

[Vorail]

I know this is the wrong section and all, but what the heck happened? It's been down for the past two days and now it doesn't have any posts in non sticky threads bast July 13/14th... Just curious.

Feel free to move or delete as needed.

These things happen, but unfortunately it has been a slow process that the harddrive has been breaking down which caused many unknown issues now... in the recovery process.

The hard drive has been failing. Large sections of the drive are unusable.

Over the last day we installed a new drive in the server so that we can start a fresh installation of the OS and start the recovery process.

Right now the data on the old failed disk _might_ be salvagable, however we don't know to what extent.

Trying to recover lost data.

My guy Tom was partly successful. He got CD up and running again, but previous night's backup was unusable, so we had to roll back to the July 14th backups since the drive has been failing during routine backups that it couldn't handle over the last month. In fact the drive finally died Tuesday morning during the backup of gunsnroses.us (mostly the tracker). << which we are trying to find data for that is not corrupt.

the gunsnroses.us is in worse shape. Since the system was making a monthly backup copy at the same time the server failed, rendering even the monthly backup useless for .us which effects our weekly backups.

Tom is in the process of trying to recover the files from the old drive for that site, but it is slow going due to the errors.

We have put ...  well I am away with family when all this is happenning with limited internet access, so Tom is putting many hours on this recovery so far..   

I am making my way home today to see if I can recover any data as well.

Sorry this is happening and we are trying to sort it out.

ps. Lets rally behind Tom for his efforts and hoping he can get the data we lost!! as much as possible

This is when you see how much time and effort some people are putting down with the fan-sites.

I guess people like me, who don't know shit about running a site, often forget how much work goes into operating and maintenance of a website!

Appreciate it!!

So does this mean that my daughter is still 7 years old, i never had that argument with my ex, and that i still have a two week break from work to look forward too??

Hope Tom can recover the data, can we have like Tom T Shirts or something.

Glad the place is sort of back though

is this tom you're talking about has an account here in CD.com? and if so what's his member name.

[AxlRoseCalifornia]

Oh and another thing, CD.com was in need of deleting all of my pms, because they were to "dangerous" to this community  I have them saved though

Im glad that cd.com is back though!

[Boulder Man]

Don't worry too much about the old stuff. If you get it fine if not who cares. There was nothing of great importance just convos

Yes. That is the Tom who has an account here on CD.com. His forum alias is "Top Gun". He posts here quite often...well, when he isn't busy fucking his wife, Katie Holmes.

Mods, move or delete if needed.

What happened to the board these past two days and where did the posts go?  looks like we reset it at mid-July.  Should we expect those posts back or are they gone for good?

[smiley]

tracker is still down... can we get an update on that also?

[Mickey Mouse]

doc what the hell happened half of our posts are missing

[zombux]

don't worry, it will be back not sure in what condition, it depends on last backup. I have a list of all torrents uploaded in the last 2 months or so, so we can easily up them again.
