Ah....this explains it:

People who say they hate to say "I told ya so."

ARE LYING!!!!

I have nothing personal against the man. I too believe he had the best of intentions.
But at the end of the day "In my jungle your just another monkey."
He was warned the idea and concept had got too big. It needed proffesional administrantion and the DIY point and been passed.
The value of the product had become markettable, and as such had risen into the area of predators.

I warned him publically twice on his forum and privately at least once in a long letter months before the last RTR. My "Apocalypic paranoia" was not welcome. (paraphrasing) Routine complete backup redundancy made it very unlikely.

Well you seem to have kicked your wool sock on your Mr Buddy Sir.

When I was living in Georgia my friend wanted to go on vacation to Turkey with his family. Many Russians/Georgians go on vaction there as a visa is not required. I looked into his idea and then read the media and situation around the current political leaders. After a few hours I told him I would go with him but I woulnd't take family and niether should he as the situation in country was too unstable. He was surprised at this and said I was being paranoid and that Turkey is always like this...Etc ETC. I held my ground and we never went. The same week we would have bee there they had a coup. To this day he is sure I know a guy in the CIA and was told not to go. He doens't believe that I just saw the signs of the horsemen.

To me it is just another reading of an age old book. Different characters, different challenges, different tense; same old story.

When using free forum software on a lesser powered server, backing up a large live forum is non-trivial.  I expect they will have lost several hours or even days of postings.

Yikes!
That strongly suggests they weren't even doing weekly backups.

On a bright note, they just switched to CloudFlare, which protects from DDOS ("Distributed Denial of Service" attacks).
Unfortunately, they've done some other backend stuff that suggests their new team is not internet abuse savvy.

I hope they fix their SPF record.
Hmmmm... does anyone know what their old SPF was? The new one might be such a mess because it's a transitional one, with both old and new mail servers, thus hinting where they're moving to ("Liquid Web" which has a somewhat worse rep than their old host "ServInt").


P.S. I'm in Noise, move-out & prep Hell. Will be posting lots more soon-ish.

It's back up, new format, looks odd but I guess change always does.

I'm thinking Tuesday or Wednesday(8th\9th of May).

In case you missed it...

Now do I use these powers for good or for evil?

Forum Viagra is only $1 in Mexico, I saw it in a YouTube video so it must be true.
