Firstly, we're back.

On Mondayd during the day the host server decided to die.
I was almost immediately alerted to it at 5am (my local time) and started working on troubleshooting.
30 hours later we're back. I've slept like 3 hours and had to cancel work commitments to get this done, but it was very important to have it resolved asap.

For some undetermined reason the operating system on the host server decided to fault and it would just not boot up. After a lot of different attempts to recover the OS, I gave up and started building a completely new server.
Fortunately all the data was safe, there shouldn't be any data loss.

There are still components on the server that need to be rebuilt so please understand if the site temporarily goes offline again over the next 48 hours.

The last day and a half has been very stressful but I've not stopped working on getting the site back online. Sorry for the outage.

Good work KUL.
If only HGB could spring into action with the same level of dedication and urgency.

You are asking for the impossible there,a sloth moves with more speed than HGB

Good on you Kul, once again you have saved the day.

Hopefully you can have a bit of a break now and a bit of normality can return to your day if that is in any way at all possible.

Gonna be a big 2025 on the WTForum

Wrong thread Bryce lol

No, it is not, as simply a response to his signature.

Thanks Kul. I cant understand your stress. But dont. In fact these outages can be used to our advantage. Introspection when mama ain't home. Self growth.

when i type in westtigersforum,,then click ,the next page on has all sorts of options of side threads etc instead of the main front door(?).Don't know if that's a concern or not,just that it never behaved like that b4

Is anyone else having issues with their connection? I keep getting logged out and was wondering what the possible problem is. It takes 4-5 attempts to post, upvote etc..I'll probably even get logged out after posting this 😭

I have had no issues since we have been back online.

Very thankful for all of your work Kul. We don't take the chance often enough to thank those that work behind the scenes to keep this 'shitshow' that we all love, on the road. So thanks everyone.

Same.... No dramas

We call them smart phones but really they are trackers. Have you been hacked? I recommend Malwarebytes to clean that shite up. Amongst other things. But its a start.
