Ok.. So.. The server has bitten the big one.

It's being torn down and sent back to me, so I can go through it and try to find the issue and repair it.

Most likely, it's a drive failure. That's what it's looking like.. Paying 6 hours of labor for someone to reload it, when it shouldn't take an hour.. Not gonna happen.

So, assuming that's all it is.. We'll be back up at full power in a week or so.

If it's more.. We might be calling for some donations to purchase a new server. Used, of course, but.. Still looking at $500 or so.

So, everyone cross your fingers that it's just a failed drive. If that's it.. I'll upgrade it with new drives (redundant) and probably kick some more memory to it.

Oh.. And the rest of the data should be OK as well.. I just wasn't moving Gigs of data over to this temporary storage. So, avatars and the like aren't working at the moment.

This always happens around the holidays. Fortunately, I'm going to be real busy making peanut brittle for the next few days.
Godspeed, Mr. 18!

New Content show that Big Rob was the last one to post. That means you must send LaBonte cupcakes. There are rules, and they must be obeyed.

I know, how funny would it have been if the forum died on somebody's 666th post.

I will be glad to donate as well. We loves this place. Probably more than we love our family...er...jobs. Yeah, that's it.

[wdtace]

I know I'm late, but I'd be happy to contribute too. I don't talk much, but I still love this place!

Thanks, Labonte, for all of your efforts keeping this place running.

[TOL]

Yeah, I'd throw down some sheckles to keep this place going...

Coming soon the publicly owned RGF? Haha...
