But, I couldn't write that on your "We Are Alive Again" thread for some reason.

But, dang, it looks like a lot of memory lost.

No shit!! I couldn't even read the "We are alive again" thread. In fact, I can't read any threads. When I click on them, they are blank. I couldn't log on or even pull up the website for the last few days.

What happened? That was a long couple of days.

ETA: Just started looking over the old threads and they've vanished. :confused:

I don't know. At first I thought I had some type of virus, but I can access other forums I belong to. Site Maintenance perhaps? Surely the site owner would have listed it as such. This seems to be the only thread accessible.

I'm pretty sure they were performing database maintenance, possibly transferring to a new server?

i guess the database error was a clue - maintenance requires a maintence page with some warning - something went bubu bad.

The site came back then went away again for awhile tonight. What's the deal?

01-02-09, 20:21

Man, now I know how people become addictive to warcraft and such. :eek:

I was only able to log onto this site this afternoon since the afternoon of Wednesday, Dec 31st, 2008 (that was freaking last year!!). It sucked too because up until 2-hours ago I was quarantined from human contact so I spent the past 48-hours cooped up in my home.

Then it went away again until now. Whisket-Tango-Foxtrot, over? :(

Thankfully, right about the time the site went down my Magpul Dynamics Art of the Tactical Carbine DVDs got here. I've had them to keep me busy (and they are awesome BTW!)

Yeah I did get a few error msg's a couple of hours ago but it seems OK for now.

Thank God the site is back up. I wasn't sure how much longer I could stay on TOS. Of course I found the retro rifle section and now I want to build retro ARs.

Since M4C going down is almost one of my trip-flares for SHTF, the world's been a little closer to anarchy than usual for the last few days. I was tempted to take the safeties off. :D

nah, i just need a little help cleaning up the puddles of vomit and patching up some sheetrock from the withdrawl thrashing. :D

seriously, good to see the site's back up. heaven knows what Grant had to put up with to get the server upgrade done, in addition to feeding the panic-buying gerbils. :D

Some other sites I've been to have also been down. I wouldn't know if it's year end computer something or hackers but it's real.
I haven't been able to get into any pm's here either.

There is a bad hard drive on the databse server and is what is causing all the issues.

I run a couple sites, and if he's like me he rents a server from another company... and they may have had a criticle hardware failure. I have had it happen a couple times in the last 5 years. It sux, and your at the mercy of them getting the new servers online and loading gigs and gigs of backed up data... that you hope is a recent backup!

I too was climbing the walls at work. What am I supposed to do for 8.5 hours a day here if this site goes down? God.. I almost took a vacation day just so I could try to forget my addiction to the site. Itried to get on here about 400 times a day since it went down!
