All Forums Made Temporarily Ad-Free (24th Nov 08 at 9:28am UTC)
As some of you may have noticed over the past couple of hours, forums have been unaccessible. This occured where the database server crashed and failed to start up again. Although a simple problem to fix, the notification systems failed at the same time. So although the forums reacted in the correct manner, bringing up messages in place of errors, we were unaware that there were any problems.

To make up for this down time, all forums have been made ad-free for the next 48 hours. Further to this, I will be ammeneding the databases auto-repair procedure to ensure that it does not encounter this particular fault again.

The notification which went to my email account worked fine, it's the one that's supposed to go to my phone and wake me up which didn't arrive {Sad}

Now obsession rules my mind
This commotion makes me blind
Searching out who ever runs
Or has stolen away my life

But i've already said

Don't ever back down
Don't ever turn around
My end has come
So now I come for you....

LOL!!!

Yeah I was quite worried, I was working on my forum, at least I saved the info, I went to refresh and it said page not found.

So I was like O_O but then several minutes later I saw that message on the screen, so I was like. "Yeah I saw this before.. Nothing to worry about then."

The only thing I would be actually worried about is if vF was no longer a forum service. I would be really devastated.

Glad to see its back up. {Smile}

He's probably blacklisted it {Tongue Out} I would've called, but it was during the night (i think) so i didn't have a clue it happened {Sad}

I didn't notice till the forums were down until after the message was put up, so I didn't have to really worry about losing anything {Smile}

Haha, Rossy, the notification system didn't completely fail; it was just delayed by 3 and a half hours. I got the message shortly after 5am. {Tongue Out}

Fortunately the majority of the down-time was during the middle of the night for most users.

The message came up in 5 minutes for me! {Shocked}

How did it take 3.5 hours for you?

He's referring to the text message which gets sent to his phone when a server goes offline.

Oohhh I see. {Cheesy} My bad I thought it was just the message on the screen when the server went down.
