Loss

[Alley]

For those of you who have followed the twitter updates, you probably know already this was quite a bumpy road.

For those who didn't follow these developments, essentially the server's raid controller died out of the blue. I'm not going to go into any details, but it was a very exhausting and unpleasant experience that even got me into trouble at work. Either way, we're finally back up and that's what matters.

Unfortunately due to -reasons-, while we have daily backups of the server accounts, it turns out there were no backup system in place for the forum and wiki data. I initially thought we had no backup at all (which means we'd have to restart from zero) I discovered a backup from August 21th back when I was running local tests on my personal dedicated servers. So yup, we've lost a fair bit of forum stuff, but at least we're there.

It's a really bad event for disco, but it could have been much worse. Together, we'll have to rebuild what was lost.

Alley was right.

TODO:

- Set up the game server
- Restore the patching system (disabled right now because it's running on outdated versions)
- Restore lost forum functions.

Alley was right.

To recover at least parts of lost threads, members can try the following to find cached versions.

1. Go to your History.
2. Find the link to the thread.
3. Copy-Paste thread to Google Search.
4. The link that pops up will have in green text the web link and a green arrow pointing down next to it. Click that arrow and select "Cached"
5. Save whatever you can find!!

This hopefully eases the pain a bit especially for those who had extensive stories going on.

Oh, it's August now... Wait... I don't see Dubovik's execution post which was wrote by Winter... Congrats, you overruned me.
Still, huge thanks for forum recovering.

Great to have everything back. Good job guys. Too bad the data-center was over-flooded with other problems at the same time.

You have my utmost gratitude for sharing this, thank you.

EDIT - Is it safe enough now for us to go ahead and start fixing things via this method?
