Cool !

 

[Winton]

I actually had to go to Basschat for a bit to get my daily fix for a change (they’re nice people over there!)

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…

OK, but where do I send the bill for the therapy sessions for "TB Withdrawal"? (j/k, of course. Missed ya.)

 

[1st Bass]

Awfully glad you are back. I really missed Talkbass.

 

[Qlanq]

Hey, awesome.
Made my day.

 

[IvanMike]

Glad things are back up and running. I was pretty sure it was aliens for a while…

 

[2tonic]

That cold turkey stuff is rough!
Bassless and spaceless.
Now the withdrawal symptoms can subside!

Kudos to your team.

You can filter the basses for sale by orientation. Hope that helps.

While I appreciate the helpful information, the point is, Lefty's have a home on Basschat. It would be nice if we had one here. I have no desire to go back to Basschat now that my second home is back up and running.

How about this, Will? THE LEFTY UNION: The Club for the Left-Handed... Returns!

Edited to add: OOPS! I just saw you have participated in that Lefty thread and were asking about a special Lefty's Classified page. Sorry. My bad.

I'm not addicted to TB but thanks little baby jeebus you're back!!

Yeah, I'm glad I'm not a TB Addict, either. But, I wa..., I mean, ... uh, ... my friend was a complete basket case the whole time TB was down. Yeah, that's it. My friend, that is.

But not me. No, sir. I was fine. But, it is acceptable to be back.

Sometimes it's when something has disappeared that you suddenly realize how it can miss.. Welcome back TB !
Thanks Team for the hard work ! You rock !

Hi again, @MonetBass ... ummmm.... how do I apply the filter? All I can find is "quick filters." Thanks!

 

[BlueTalon]

It was kinda disturbing to me how frantic I got over the first couple of days of TB absence.

Will, if you go to the specific page of classified, say "For Sale: Bass Guitars" you can then =1&c[node]=126']Search titles for "Left". Or perhaps others know a better way.
