Downtime

[Hells Warrrior]

I apologise for the downtime we have experienced today, this was outwith our control. Unfortunately, an issue at the data center caused the node our server is on to power cycle and as a direct result impacted our SQL database. Several attempts to recover the database from our backups and the hosts backups (without data loss) failed.

 

So we did a full recovery from yesterday as a last resort, as a result posts/topics in the last 24 (approx) have been lost into the aether. 

 

We are looking into what is preventing the recovery and crashes on the SQL database after an outage at the hosts and why we are directly impacted and what we can do to prevent in the future. 

 

I'm sorry but it is what it is.

The posts disappeared to the aether? Cant mean anything good, I dont hope they will return as Hellposts or something. But great work admins, for recovering the site
