It's alive

[lermgalieu]

It was almost scary how much I missed TB.

Glad you're up and running!

 

[BEADG63]

Oh, thank G-d! I almost bought a guitar during the "Great Outage of 21".

 

[CryingBass]

TB is my ONLY social media. I was media-less for days! TGIF

 

[Jim622]

Usually don't feel this kind of appreciation for bass players

 

[el murdoque]

OMG...I had to actually practice while it was down.... <shudders>

Same! My fingers hurt!

Frankly, it's amazing the restore went so well. Restoring a site like this is not something for the weak of heart.

My guess is that the site itself is quite simple. It's the SQL dump that makes you wake up in the dead of night, drenched in sweat, throat hoarse from screaming in your sleep.

Ya know, I probably could have sought advice from other people on how to cope with Talkbass withdrawal, but....nah, none of 'em would've cared one stinkin' bit. Good to be back.

What a great recovery! Glad TB is back on-line!

 

[BigBigGuy44]

My life can now resume as normal.

 

[Martelino]

Pfew.

I don't do social media but I do talkbass.
I was getting pretty creative with the swear words every time I tried opening it on my browser.

 

[mikecd1]

Missed you guys and glad we're back up and talking bass again!

 

[abarson]

I had no clue how much time I devote to TB until it went away.
I did hang out on Basschat.co.uk for a bit in the interim, but it's a different dynamic over there.

 

[Danny O Danny]

Yay!

Same here. I shut down all my "sociopath media" except for TB, because the folks here are actual, bona fide decent people. FB has become such a cesspool that even for the slightest disagreements my DMs fill up with folks wanting to "meet me somewhere"....

By the by... can we assume that if our "supporting member" badge is showing that we're still good? I checked my bank statement and the charge applied right before the crash. I know it was a monumental pain to get this fixed as quickly as y'all did and I (and I'm sure I speak for many, if not all of us) cannot tell you how much I appreciate the effort that went into doing so.

 

[Tommy Sparks]

GREAT NEWS!
I missed this place, first thing I go to with my morning coffee.

 

[Ostie]

I figured somebody posted about a religious politician with a gun and triggered a total site lockdown. Boom boom, out go the lights.

 

[bassbully]

Thank Christ!!

I tried to log in on Sunday to finally re-up my supporting membership, only to gas hard for one all week. 30 beans is pretty small change for a yearly dose of TB.

I ass-ume member status will update shortly so I won't look like a money-not-where-my-mouth-is jackass for too long.
