Main HDD failure

I would like to thank Steve :brava for his tireless work over many, many, many, hours to restore the forums after the main hard drive started making nasty crunching noises.

Unfortunately it looks like we have lost most if not all of the posts that were made after the back up on 26th. Nothing we can do but thank our lucky stars and Steven :2tsup: that we still have a forum to come to.

Cheers - Neil :)

I would also like to thank Steven for his tireless work to get the forums back up online :brava

Onya' Steve! :2tsup: Boy am I glad to see the forum again. :cool:

Bloody computers.

Like Bob said, 'Onya, Steve'.

Yer a bloody legend, Steve! :thyel:

You saved me from a fate worse than... well... late-night housework. :- (Some people just can't bear to see others' with idle time. :rolleyes:)

Your a life saver, Steve.:2tsup: It's been horrible, horrible, horrible.:oo: :oo:

Joe

thanks steve :2tsup:

Thanks Steve I thought I was going to have to read local rag & junk mail again :2tsup:

Ditto - Well done steve

Well done Steve. I felt like one of the kids all yesterday - "Is it ready yet?"

Super Steve!!

Is that what going cold turkey is like, thanks for the fix Steve, top job

Thank you Steve we are lost without it. Steve, having two HDD's as mirrors of each other would save down time and loss of data, is that possible with this server?? Amos

I thought it was the drivellers dribble corroding the works............

and here l was thinking it was a plot to get rid of friday drivel:D

No Friday night forum - I nearly lost it:o Good work Steve; and thanks.

ta much steve:clap:

A big tank you Steven.

It was looking very grim for a while there.

I ave run out of space and it looked like I was going to have the time to clean off a bench.

Nooooooooooooooo!

Just in time.

There are still spaces left on the floor though

You're right there, it was touch and go for a day or so. We'll roll out some improvements over the next week that will allow us to recover from a disaster much faster and without losing a day or two of posts.

Bloody computors couldnt get ebay :? and worse no ww.forum :(( She who must be obeyed said withdrawal symptoms his toys are broke Onya all who helped get this back on line :2tsup:


"the toys are getting bigger & the sawdust & firewood more expensive":U

thanks Steve...
And thanks Niel...
Thought occurs to me though...
HDD's aint cheap - neither is the fixing and replacing
We forumites gain a helluva lot outa this forum...
True - there's advertising revenue - but I'd hate to think that Niel was out of pocket when things like this occur...
Is a donation towards the upkeep of the forum a consideration...
Least we could do is support Niel - and the forum - by buying s'thing from him at the ww shows or online...

Donations not required. Thank for the thought though.

Cheers - Neil :U
