Title: Forum/DB Issues - Resolved
Post by: Snowcone on February 07, 2007, 11:32:02 AM

After waiting on our host to resolve the issues with the database, I went ahead and moved the whole site to a new database. Everything should be working now and there should be no loss of data. Welcome back everyone.

I was literally not able to insert any new records into the DB. That meant that I couldn't even create a new post to update everyone on the status of the problem. Something generated a couple hundred thousand forum errors and took the db offline.

I see in the news that there was a massive server attack/hack on Tuesday morning.

Coincidence?

Nah, I doubt anyone intentionally did this. I think it was at least a partial oversight on my part.

I'm still having download issues. It sends me back to the page I was just on.

That is actually a different issue. See your post in the download issues topic for more information.
