We're Baaaaaack!

They should ahve tried the search feature to find the database problems

I was also able to figure out that I no longer have a need for any deuces. Going to concentrate on the CUCVs

We simply can't allow that. You're like the deuce whisperer!

 

[EMD567]

Geez, we can't have this happen again. I had the shakes, was seeing things, tried about a hundred and one ways to get into the site. I got so bad, that I went to sleep early!! Fought the urge to call Ferro, as I am sure he was having withdrawal symptoms also..........

Chris could always move it to a VMware ESXi 6 server environment with two servers coupled with VMotion. He could even move it into the cloud and get 99.9999% uptime but I think it would no longer be a free site and memberships would a darn sight more expensive than what they are now.



Good job getting the site working again. Been there, done that and have scars to prove it.

To the team,

I was beginning to wonder what I was going to do with my free time...

 

[Recovry4x4]

Does this mean the M108 is for sale????

It will be the last to go. I need to make sure all of these canned engines are gone before it can go. I also need to be able to scrap my M109 body and load the S280 when it leaves. So in short, eventually it will make it to the classifieds.

Is your shelter going to make it up here to Mikes?

lesson learned

We sure learn how much we need or want something once we lose it. We could all say "thank you" more often.

I just placed test ads in every single classified section. And others have already started replying to them. Can you try again?

I started to reach for the ammo and the bug out bag. I'm just as glad to see SS back up and running again as much as the next man. But this "SNAFU" brings up some real concerns for me.

I think we should look at the big picture here. We now know how easy it is for all of us to lose contact with each other. A broken fan, Zombies, Solar flares etc. I know it's all in good clean fun but I think we have the potential for some serious communication loss.

We know now what the problem is or could be. My question is do we have a solution, a plan "B". What if this where a real emergency. How would we communicate with each other? I consider you fellas as like minded brothers. People I could count on in an emergency. If there was ever a real state wide or global emergency and our beloved site was dead lined what would we do.

I'm talking about some type of "alert roster." You old GI's know where I'm going with this. This site is like a giant MV club or military Battalion. Heck we have the ranks attached to our avatars. What can we do to make this happen? To assign regional contact numbers, CB channels for SS members etc. What are your thoughts?

[Odyssey M]

I blame the CIA, FBI, DOD, DOT, ICE, and USDA on the site failure....

 

[Mwne2nks]

Thanks for getting it back online !

 

[lbatlas]

Man, I am glad we are back!

 

[T. Highway]

I looked in the TM section and couldn't find a TM for CPU Fan Repair, will this be offered soon?

 

[jaxsof]

And when it went down I received an email that reminded me of the ones we received a month or so ago. Was disturbing...

Seems funny though, some of were able to post yesterday, while others of us werent able to get on until this evening.0

Oh, and it appears we lost the Elvis avatar!

A few of us did. That is why I thought the site had been hacked.

Glad that wasn't the case. But I never thought a fan on a server would cause a software crash like that.

 

[jaxsof]

I used to be involved in network security. There are ways to take a fan out of service through software. The e-mssg only went to the address i use here, none of the others. Someone may want to take a look at the servers bios, maybe re-flashing it to a known good version.

 

[APM215]

Some of us (and I wont say it was me) might have been caught dry humping our MV’s! I’m just glad the sight is back up.
