Was Dave's down for a couple days, or what? I couldn't get on. Any clue? |

At least it's back. Pretty obvious that it was down for awhile as there is no new posts since Monday or Tuesday. |

Thank gawd. I was getting Dave's withdrawal symptoms: a nervous tick, itchy typing fingers, and pent-up anxiety about being in Korea. Those can all be purged now. |

Any clue as to when the search function will return, if ever?

Yes. "Soon". For now, the "View posts since last visit/View your posts/View unanswered posts" won't work, either. |

Okay, when do we find our why the board was down? Why were the Korean board only open to mods for the last twelve hours? So what happened! |

Can anyone explain what went wrong here? I was getting a tad twitchy myself, so hungry for a forum that I signed on to www.ajarn.com. That's quite a lively place; I think I'll visit more often. Of course it's Thai-centric, but then so am I. More free-wheeling and less anal-retentive than this one. |

It wasn't open to the mods - it was open to the "administrators" - that's Dave.
And right now there's way more that we don't know than we do. I think at this point Dave is busy getting things back working. |

Obviously they felt the need to re-format the entire site, and f***ed it up in the process. if it ain't broke, why fix it? |
Your avatar is still a red x.

Thanks, lemon. I had a vision of all the mods doing sleuth work in the Korea forums (looking for hackers, or whatever).
I doubt that the crash had to do with the recent alterations. Whatever it was, it must have been a monumental headache for Dave. I am sure he must be in need of a few days sleep by now! Anyway, the down time for me was good, I have been very productive. |

I heard it was a hack, can we get a confirmation on that? |

I agree with you. They're totally different sections of the server.

That's a fair guess, particularly the "monumental headache" part.

Probably was good for many people. Visions of pasty foreigners stumbling outside, shielding their eyes from the bright sunlight...  |

Is Dave a real person, or a secret pawn of the Microsoft empire? Hmm... |

Another thing - it's not yet 100%, and some of the database got corrupted.
You may find some threads won't open, but instead return a "debug mode" error. They're probably toast, and we'll have to remove them. It'd be great if you could PM me the URL of the thread...
If you can't find a particular thread, it's possible that it fell victim to this. So don't freak out - it was a technical thing, not a moderator decision. |
