server and database problems...

[weedguru_animal]

Dear members,

We have been experiencing some technical difficulties over the last week or so. Not only have posts gone missing, but also threads, member accounts and even whole forums. After much consultation with our hosts, who found repeated server and consequential database errors, we have been moved to their high octane 'napalm server'. And I have restored a backup which I took on friday evening of last week. Truly, I am sorry for the loss of posts, many of which were likely meaningful. But now..we should be fine and dandy. Regardless of this recent spate of horrible occurences, I remain adamant that this host is far better than our last, who, if you remember well enough, managed to lose not just posts, threads, forums, but the entire site. They have done what I expect of them, apologizing in the process...and assured me that from here on in, we are in for plane sailing...

SO...welcome to the new napalmed weedguru.

and again, I repeat, my apologies for the annoyances and irritations that have appeared in recent days.

warm, hopeful regards,
Animal

To add to this, I ask for your feedback, regarding the new server routine...Is it slower??? are you still losing posts?? are all forums present??? Send word.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning :p


Everything seems to work fine, other than we backed up to yesterday again. Let's hope it's stable from now on.

And yes, the host is way better than the last one,this one actually takes care of it's business!

Yep it definately seems faster.

First it was The Great White Out and now it's Napalm..lol. Wonder what's next.

Been noticing that sometimes it takes way longer to load a page than it should,not often but it does happen when i'm browsing the forum.
