Still not back up. That's 31 hours now.
I'm sure there's no such thing as a secret forum.

reading through the comments section, it seems some people have had their sql databases corrupt by the sudden power outage - tvf could be out for a while.

Prediction:
EDIT: Just seen the Tweet. There's now an emergency forum at http://tvfi.co.ukThis is very hard for me to write, but here's the situation:
Today I made a terrible, terrible blunder which caused the forum to go offline. In fact, the forum was deleted from the server. I've spent the last 6 hours trying to fix the faults. Unfortunately, despite all our best efforts, all attempts to get a back-up of the site online have failed. Which means, sadly...
We have to start again.

With all user accounts intact - looks like Asa had a recent backup. Yeah, TVF has been offline longer than it should have been, but it looks like it'll recover just fine.

I would be surprised if Asa didn't already do regular backups, I wasn't there when it happened but I don't think he would take his chances after the 2003 crash.

The big crash of 2003. So long ago now.
How is TVForum 15 years old next month? The internet's only recently been invented surely?

In your professional opinion, should the forum have been backed up on Asa's LS-120 drive?WillPS wrote:It'd be strange if they were in a different database.Philip wrote:I would be surprised if Asa didn't already do regular backups, I wasn't there when it happened but I don't think he would take his chances after the 2003 crash.

Unrelated - asanet.co.uk has enjoyed 100% uptime since its liberation.

I'd be rather surprised if he did, given the level of his attention to detail in all other areas.Philip wrote:I would be surprised if Asa didn't already do regular backups
