[Zingiber]

New site + forums out for a few days. Thanks for the maintenance message. Any sense of when we might be back on line?

There was a server crash on Saturday.

Currently I'm trying to recover the data. I have several backups, so no data is lost, but it takes some time until the site is running again. Probably tomorrow.

Nice to have some good news about the site, I miss it.

so is there any word on this?

The site should be back online tonight. I'll post here when it is ready.

Edit: I may need one more day.

What does "NS" mean?

What does "NS" mean?

NS stands for nameserver. If you see the abbreviation, you can already access the new server / IP.

Still just a maintenance message.

It just means that you can already access the new IP of the server (or that your DNS cache is up-to-date). I still must bring the site online. But I probably need one more day.

Therefore, my IP is banned from the so-called "New" forums. As for the "new" site, you can find many posts I made there still in the stories, & I can still Login with the name they were submitted by, but I cannot add any new threads, or rate or comment on the work of anyone else (even the work/stories of editors whose stories my old work still appears in).

I am reminded to again thank Friedman for his hard work providing us with a functional site that we can enjoy free of harassment.

 

[Friedman]

We're back online.

If you notice an error message somewhere, please send me a PM or use the "report a problem" feature.

And thanks 24ward for the kind words

We're back online.

Then this thread's purpose is concluded.

Closed.
