Server Downtime

[Darkblade]

As you may have noticed, the Final Fantasy Forums server has been down for much of today. Our old host coudn't handle the forums and all it's features especially the chat room that we had and so it was causing a lot of issues to the server. Server load was increasing from 5 upto 20 so I woudn't think that server would be perfect for FFF. We were experiencing some server problems but we were working to resolve the problem and resume normal operations. But it didn't seem to go pretty well so I have decided to move to a new, better server where it could handle a vBulletin board with a few huge mods such as the chat. And here we are on the new server.

Chris managed to restore the whole forums for us via SSH. Which means we haven't lost any forum data. All posts, threads, polls, etc were saved and kept so you shoudn't be worrying about anything then. So all thanks goes to him!

If you have noticed a bug or error while browsing the forums, please be sure to report it right here. Hope to see y'all back on this site once again...

Sorry for any inconvenience that have caused.

Well, Im just glad it's back online, now we can all get back to doing what we love to do.

 

[Karura]

Mwahahaha!
The forums are back!
YAY.

I'm glad I didn't lost anything

 

[Tethar]

Back to buissiness.

 

[Amizon]

Good to know the forums are back up and running!

 

[Vincent'sLucrecia]

I'm very happy that the forums are back up and running. It's good to be back here!

 

[Davey Gaga]

I didn't know what to do with my time

And Tethar, I noticed you've been promoted. Climbing up in the world, I see

 

[Gaaramaster]

I wish I could climb up in the world but the people in charge hate me.

 

[Chris M]

I wish I could climb up in the world but the people in charge hate me.

We don't hate you... *coughs*

Anyway - Forums are backup, please report any bugs you find, as there was some difficulty moving the forums; For any technical people out there, we had to move from a MySQL 5 configuration to MySQL 4.1.x - For any non-technical people, er, it wasn't as easy as it seemed

We all apreciate your work Chris M. Some of us are aware that it was mainly you who did lal the hard work moving the forum.

Thanks to TSG.

Vincent we really do not hate you. After all you serve Lord Sephiroth right?

 

[Davey Gaga]

I don't know if this has been brought to your attention, but the chat room doesn't work. If it does, then I'm confused as to its new layout.

If I were you, I would have chosen a good server to begin with.

 

[Davey Gaga]

No use bringing up the past, just as long as the forums are back up, I'm happy.
