So They Tried to kill RWL...

Bluehost (our web host) SCREWED things up... The result was some down time, and the loss of all our files... All of 'em.

Windy, being the wizard that he is, discovered out DB's are still in tact. That means thearetically that we can bring the games back up as they were, as well as the forums. It may take a few days...

For the full scoop, you can look at the page i made while things were down. At the least it's amusing... heh. www.redwallwarlords.com/bluehostsucks/bluehostsucks.php

Yep. I'm still surprised the mysql db was all there (our server -is- localhost), but we should be alright.
As soon as Shael has a moment to upload her copies of the game files rwl should be fully functional

The forum lost its custom theme (again), but as all the posts were stored in the untouched database everything should be fine. Same with the game files, everyone's account should be the same as it was before the server took a dump on us.

One of the joys of having someone else holding your files, you never know if they're gonna screw 'em up. We'll get a better backup scheme in place soon.

Cheers guys, sorry about the downtime.

I officially complained to bluehost yesterday :D They said "one moment, connecting you to a technician," or something. I said his face was funny and ended the chat. Cos I'm well mature :P

Nice job getting it fixed Windy :)

If you're looking for a new host you might want to check out http://www.justhost.com/ I'm looking into hosting a website with them, and they seem to offer a great package for a small price.

And Shael. Don't forget Shael. And Windy.

Yes, they are awesome too, but Peace saves RWL from being lost to Cyberspace.

Ya, with my amazing ability to be rude to Bluehost support technicians and then whine to windy and shael.

You know what Peace, I think however much you try, you will never sway Krowdon from worshipping.
