Forum Is Back Online

[Leo Gura]

The forum seems to be back online at this point and working properly. If you notice any bugs or minor issues, let me know.

Note: You will need to log in again. Old login cookies have been deleted.

Note: You should refresh the forum pages you've been visiting lately to clear out old cache. Without refreshing the page you may see old data.

Note: There was a day or two of data loss from a week ago, so some of your last posts or PMs may be gone. This is not a bug.

I am still in the process of checking the rest of the site beyond the forum. There may be some missing functionality there right now.

Login is having issues for me as well. after putting in my password and clicking submit it seems to just refresh the page and not log in.

The product logins are still broken right now for everyone. We're working to fix it.

The hosting company that was originally managing my server got bought out by another company, and then that other company decided to change my server to something else and broke the site when they were migrating between servers. They did this migration without telling me. It took me a week just to find out from them that they did this sneaky migration. Migrating servers is a big deal because unless all the settings are transferred then the site will break in many ways which are difficult to track down. It took me a week of going back and forth with them to figure out that this happened and how to fix it.

It's never a good sign when your hosting company gets bought out by a bigger one. Usually the quality of service drops. But also migrating to a new company is also a huge pain in the ass and leads to its own downtime. I really didn't like that my old hosting company got bought out, but I was hoping it would work out. Well, it turned into this disaster.

Unfortunately it's not uncommon for hosting companies to get bought out by bigger ones, who then provide worse service to maximize their profits. Whenever I select hosting companies I try to go with ones who are not too large and greedy because those kind of companies end up cutting corners or jacking up prices.

Because the forum data was not migrated properly, so about a years worth of data was missing.

But we fixed that.

Damn, that sucks. What was the hosting provider that got bought out Leo? I use DigitalOcean/Vultr for my personal projects.

[Someone here]

Great !

When will the videos be released though?

I see, thanks for sharing. I hope the new company will at least notify you of their decisions beforehand. Those bastards.

Smaller providers sometimes don't have good redundancy or security..or good backups...larger cloud providers like Azure or AWS have layers of that...but honestly I thought maybe he still ran it out of his basement..you know- the tower server with 2 hard drives and tape backups 😀😃
