Temporary forum opened - forum now unlocked

I wonder what could be so wrong

Exactly. Hosting site that would be without connectivity for so long would be out of business.

-NL

I imagine they have a lot of servers, and LD4all happens to be stuck on one with low priority. They are probably still making plenty of cash off of other larger clients on working servers…

it’s not the host, it’s the datacenter. My host is more than friendly as he can’t do anything about it either, he has given me a free temp account and i got a complete refund. The problem is that my backup is also with my host and he can’t access it either because he has his server at the same datacenter.

would I move hosts, then this forum would become the permanent forum. (2 weeks back in time).

This is the story:

That should have been today. But it took longer than that, and the latest update is that:

Moving hosts is easier said than done. For one, i can’t access the most recent backup of the forum. If I could, then that means the datacenter is back online, which means I also have access again to the LD4all server so moving isn’t necessary anymore.

So i’m waiting it out a bit more. I have shopped around for other hosts, and found that if i want the same deal elsewhere (same server specifications) i will be paying double of what i’m paying now. So for the same amount i could go with a slower server but i have no idea how that would work out.

That does not sound good to me. Its not the end though…

new member signing up on this forum:

please note that you will have to sign up again when we move back to the LD4all server. Everything done on this forum, including creating an account, will be lost when we move back.

OK, so what we posted after this backup is still in the servers right? My whole dream journal is there, I started it recently… :sad:

:yes: all data is still intact on the server, including your DJ, it’s only inaccessible at the moment.

Glad to hear that, you rock Q! By the way, just noticed you’re a women. lol It’s just that “Pasquale” is a male name here in Brazil and I never really noticed the under your name. Anyway, thanks for the good news. :smile:

I think it works for both genders, but I get the gist that I know who you’re talking about. shivers And I hate him :nuu:

I hope this forum dont get 100% down once again, i just got here. Anyway, good this opened…

Thanks pasQuale - really appreciate all your help sorting this out and keeping us informed :smile: I was really upset when I couldn’t log back on and wondered what had gone wrong.

Thanks,
Pokle :smile:

ummmm Felipe Gall i just noticed something under your name… something that is very much like my name… :content:

/me must resist the urge to steal that image for his own

So…Perfect!

/me eats IE with Firefox

But people forget the poor Iceweasel! Firefox’s unofficial cousin who is like Firefox for Linux.

/me charges for Iceweasel avatars as well

Question : Will our post count move to the new forum? I don’t think it will.

nope, postcount will be the same as you had before this forum opened.

This is better than nothing, I guess. I missed my peoples :razz:

Hey pasQuale I pm’ed you about getting a warning so I could copy the posts I need before the forum is restored but I never got a response yet. So, if it’s possible could you please give me fair warning so the members and I don’t lose our setup of the Flash Film topic, thanks.

everybody will be warned in advance when we’ll move :yes:

:cool_laugh: Sorry about that, that’s actually the first time I’ve seen you post, I didn’t intend to copy or anything. It’s just that it’s such an interesting concept… :smile:

LOL, I was lucky no one had used this image here before, it’s so awesome. And I don’t think our post counts will move to the new forum, but that’s not really an issue, methinks.

Yep, I can’t access the french forum.
Are we gonna have to redone everything :confused:

And you’re not the one who have problems[edit : lol I wrote it in french sooner :grin: ] with a server. I’m on a french mailing list which has problems too.

Damned !:`(
