Yep. This one put my skills to the test. I've seen database corruption before but never to the point where the database engine won't run at all. Very happy I got it all back online with no loss of data - wasn't feeling very optimistic about it when I went to bed at 3am!

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Re: what @Deeoldfartsaid - I'm an interstate member too whose lifeline to the MFC is this site. I'd be lost without it.

Did you find out what the root cause was? If not, and you have audit logs available, I'd be happy to look over them for you guys

I remember working in Taiwan on a mobile phone network, and a software error caused a database reload on the switch I was working on, taking out one million of their customers services.

I didn’t really understand what was being said (in Chinese) but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t nice!

Thanks for all the hard work guys!

Me to old Dee couldn’t survive without my daily fix on Demonland, it’s a great gauge on how we are all feeling. Thanks Nasher.!!

I assumed it was the umpires, in cahoots with the Russians, trying to take down MFC in whatever way they can.

:Your presumptions are remarkably accurate, so often, MR. It was the Russians with a selected 75% of AFL umpires acting as translators to ensure that Footiscry, Geelong and Collingwood were not affected.

Just curious. Do you have many readers only that are members or contribute $ in another way?

Thanks for all your efforts

The majority of people that visit Demonland are not Demonland members and have never signed up an account and I guess are people who just want to read about what people are saying or get information in regards to draft picks, trades or preseason training etc.

Just under 6000 people have signed up an account over the 16 years and probably only a small percentage of those are active posters. Posters come and go. Some post a lot and others more infrequently and some once or only a handful of times.

But yeah most users of the site are people who just want to read what others are saying like you might a newsletter or newspaper but don't feel the need to comment which is totally fine and just as much what the site is there for. All users are welcome whether they read or post.

Same! 😂 At the beginning of every season the fam say to me, “seeya in early October!” My sons routinely accuse me of loving the Dees more than I love them. Which is ridiculous. I love them equally. 😉

A while ago, middle son said, “Mum, if Max Gawn and I were both unconscious in a burning building, and you could only save one of us, what would you do?”

 I said, “Hmmm, well, while piggybacking Maxy out I’d use my free hand to call 000 for help for you.”

Yeah nah, they’ve sorta got a point. 😬

Thanks, appreciate the offer. Root cause was an unplanned outage of the host VM, which lead to the MySQL database failing disgracefully when our server went off. Got some work to do over the weekend to move the tables over to the storage engine that is a little more resilient to failure.

I think this is  essentially the same plot as a Thomas the Tank Engine story but written in a more cryptic way.

I comprehend around about, approximately, pretty much, effectively, essentially NONE of this, but just wanted to be added to the ever-growing list of DL-ers thanking you. So, thank you!!!

I just make the site pretty, wrangle content and attempt to get people to play nice. Nasher keeps the hamsters running on the wheel. 

This alone must be a full-time job! 😁

Am in the position of having to split my time between NSW and Vic ( when you can actually travel ). Stuck in NSW at the moment, fortunately regional. Lockdowns seem to be following me around. This site is such a lifeline when in NSW, thanks so much.

I thought this thread was talking about the dees and our fortunes.

Did demonland crash? 

I didn't realize. At all.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
