Can I ask when you last received this message? Was it in the past few minutes?

tell me about it.

It all started a few weeks ago when our host company's servers were hacked affecting Demonland. This was easily resolved by reverting to the nightly backup and only a few hours in the middle of the night were lost.

As a result we were moved to a temporary server, whilst waiting for the brand new server, which couldn't handle the load that Demonland was putting on it and as a result page loads were slow or non existent.

Then we had the issue with the member Database being corrupted and because regular backups weren't being done while on the temp server we had to roll back two weeks.

We then moved to the new server which is causing a whole lot of other head aches. These problems will of course be resolved in the coming weeks and things should be smooth sailing from then.

Your work behind the scenes is unbelievable Andy, and doesn't get the recognition it deserves. A small contribution is on the way.

tell me about it.

I feel your pain. Count yourself lucky you're only looking after one part (Demonland itself). When I had the gig I got to look after the host as well as the site. Gives me a headache just thinking about it - was worth it though when I see how much Demonland is thriving.
