I thought something seemed funny with my computer. I figured it was tired and didn't want to work any more when I couldn't get in, so I went to bed.

Honestly, to to all the guys at our host, THANK YOU! Everyone kibbitzes about their tech team, so thank you. We're not like everyone.

Now if I can remember what I wanted to post last night, :think:

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:

Sadly it was not the longest we have ever been offline.  Years ago we were offline for a week or so when our old server company, a world class smurfty organization called Serverloft, shut us down for a while and wouldn't even tell us why at first.  Then a week or so after everything was back up and running they shut us down again thinking that the problem had recurred, when in fact it turned out their tech was reading old emails, but that was only discovered after a few days of being offline again.   :facepalm:

Here's the thread if you want to read it.:

Considering all that had to be done, I am amazed that the staff at Prime Relay were able to get us back up and running again as quickly as they did.

Here are some quotes from the emails I got:

Quote
For unknown reasons the OS of the machine has been corrupted. I am still trying to understand what the current state is and if we are able to repair things. If not we will need to re-install the machine.

I can still see the databases and files from the websites. Just unable to launch due to missing server software.

Quote
Im just very glad to see that things panned out as i had hoped. At first things looked quite terrible. Fortunately I did not take long for me to realize that the important things we're not in any problems.

The phrase "missing server software" seems a bit concerning!

Any word on how Guido is getting along with his OHT?  Maybe he's ready for another tool?  SAK maybe?

No word that I've been told, but Micah deals with him a lot more than I do.  Maybe he will have an update. :tu:

Any reason to explain why the code :serverloft: gives --> :serverloft: is a good one. I remember wondering what the reason for that was for a while. :D

This is about a year before I joined; I do remember that thread but I wasn't reading much at the time. I'd only discovered the Swiss Forum and was scared to look at the other sections.  ::)

Don't take down NASA until after I've already left the planet, ok?  I may need to get a lift from them....
