WE'RE BACK!
on: November 29, 2017, 06:34:55 PM
As some of you may have noticed, we have been offline since last night and are just getting things back in order now.  As I understand it, there was an undetectable glitch in the system that initially manifested on November 1st and has been building ever since, resulting in last nights catastrophic meltdown.  And when I say catastrophic, I am not just being dramatic.

Technicians from our hosting company have been working non stop on our server as we needed a complete re-build and restructuring of the virtual machine that we run on from the ground up.  What you are looking at now, is an absolutely 100% completely rebuilt server with a fresh copy of MTO on it.

I want to thank Micah and Guido and all of the staff at Prime Relay for their efforts in getting us back up and running as quickly and as correctly as they could.  Thanks a lot guys, we couldn't do it without all of you!   :tu:

This must have been the longest time I've seen MTO out of reach!

I was getting quite worried TBH  :sa: :to:

A big thank you to everyone involved in getting this great forum running again  :cheers:

:hatsoff: to Micah, Guido and everyone else involved for bringing back the servers...

The down time made me realize that I developed some withdrawal symptoms when not accessing MTO...

The forum is like a drug for me... Really felt weird and awkward not being able to interact, read wonderful posts and look at :drool: pics... :facepalm:
