Sorry For The Downtime

[Stutopia]

Welcome back gang. It’s been a traumatic period behind the scenes, but things seem to have all gone back in the right place.

 

I’d just like to apologise to the whole forum community, both members and traders, for the disruption. We’re not down often, but it seems when it does go wrong, it goes wrong in horrible and complicated ways. What should have been a fairly routine disk failure and replacement was complicated by a less than helpful data centre staff and very niggly problems bringing everything back online.

 

We’re very sorry for the outage and fingers crossed we’ll be good now for a while.
 

Thank you very much for your patience, 99% of the posts and messages (there’s always one!) from people have been very understanding and supportive, which is hugely appreciated and is a true measure of the calibre and character of our membership. You’re the best.

Well done Stu and team... I think thats probably the longest outage we've had in my 15 years on the forum. Glad everything's been restored. 😅

[Guest]

Great news and well done getting it fixed! Being a new Z owner, I've been using this site loads and I was rather worried to see it down. Happy to see we're back. ❤

[rodgeevans]

Great news, well done, and thanks for your work getting it back up.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder 😉

Very grateful Stu. Thanks for your time spent on sorting it out.

Thanks for sorting it out. Felt a bit weird over the last week, as I've logged in every day over the past 10 years.

Many thanks to our team of Avengers for bringing things back again

We're a bit limited on options at our budget level, their response time wasn't too bad, it's the damage they did when they responded that was the problem!

[pintopete58]

Cheers guys .

I was lost for a fortnight. 

I even took my phone to the shop hahaha

ahhh, must be expensive for what it is. Im sure you guys have considered many options in all aspects to cover.  Appreciate the efforts, we got your back 👀

 

The 1% dont know how the interwebs and storage works. They probably think you personally spilt black coffee on the mainframe 😅

 

 

[Humpy]

No need to apologise. 

 

Your work behind the scenes is always appreciated!

[kevd]

thanks for your hard work mate

[Payco]

Great work and thanks Stu. Let’s not forget none of us get paid and everything we do for this forum is in our own time. Well done .

[Willsy1980]

Being IT myself I know the pain of these things, all your efforts to get things back up and running are much appreciated.

As for the 1% just delete their crap and forget they were ever a thing   

[ShortPaul]
