[gtmalone]

Thanks much for the efforts to get us back!

I spent about 35 yrs in IT so I know this was a lot of work and not any fun.

Thanks for update!

 

[knumbskull]

Brilliant! Thanks to all involved.

I actually had to practice the bass to kill time for a moment there... [shudder]

!!Huge congrats!! to all of the TB staff for getting back up. Having spent 40 years in IS/IT related careers, I'm very sympathetic. I'm very glad to be able to visit again. Thanks for all the hard work!

 

[gonzkal]

Thanks for all your hard work!

 

[Aras]

I'm so glad that you are back!

Thanks for all your hard work and bringing TB back to life! Major accomplishment! Happy Friday! I didn't realize how much I missed TB until it wasn't there. It seems like I know a lot of people here since I started many moons ago.

One suggestion I have, when I visited Basschat I found they have under basses, a "Lefty" bass page. Also under basses for sale, a "Lefty" basses for sale. Would you consider something like that for TB? You'd be surprised how many lefty's there are on TB! Anyway, glad to be back, welcome back TB! Great work!

Welcome back!

I'm so sorry for the massive downtime. A power outage, generator fire, fire surpression damage, and global chip/hardware shortage created a logistical nightmare for our server admin team. Info coming out of the datacenter was sporadic, and from each day to the next we had to make a best guess decision on what would get us online the fastest.

Our server management company has been fantastic through all of this (AdminGeekz). They not only came through with our automatic daily backups (offsite), but they got the datacenter to take the time to pull our SSD drives from our old servers, dry them out, and remount them so that we now have all data up to the time of the fire (instead of missing 12-24 hours since the last auto backup).

Going forward we are investing in additional live server backups across the country so if a whole datacenter goes up in flames again we shouldn’t be offline for so long.

Known Issues:

• Supporting Members!: If you had a PayPal recurring payment happen during the outage, at this point I’m not sure if your TB account will be automatically updated with your new subscription. Please contact us and we’ll get you sorted. We appreciate your patience through all of this, but if you'd like the downtime added to your subscription term, please contact us. Contact Us
• Classifieds Thumbnails: Are blank now. Working on this.
• Unexpected Database Errors: We're tweaking MySQL database to work out these errors.
• Other Misc Errors: Please be patient as we get our new server optimized

More to come…

The only “bugs” I see so far is many duplicated posts. Thank you @paul
