No, well, yes, errrrr, You see, The server is in the midwest, and Eric lives like 1000 miles away, and he drove all the way out there, started the process by bringing down the server, and then realized that he had left the damned card at home! So he drove all the way back home, picked up the card, and then hauled ass back to the server, chugging bottles of 5-hour energy during the trip (and tossing the empties on the back seat).

+Erik 1,812 Posted July 2, 2013 Yes I'm aware. I'm peddling as fast as I can. I forgot something back at the office. No but really I'm sorry for the downtime I got a wild hair up my ass and decided if I was going to rebuild everything I might as well do it on new equipment, so I spent all my money on new ultra nice hardware, hence the reason I'm riding my bike. Say hello to Marilyn, Bob and Sylvester which are clustering up with Files to make this one scary place. I'm expecting this will be last big interruption and that this should take care of all our needs well into 2016. Now I just have to figure out how to pay for it. As you've seen I've been getting pieces of the puzzle together and turning them on as they're ready. We had some time where things didn't resolve because the boxes were off as the actual switch happened on our port, then there was some initial build time and I had some static stuff up which was the "Forum Offline" you saw. The "Server Busy" was the high load caused from cross verifying file structures. I couldn't have you guys writing files when I was trying to compare them, make sense? That was pretty much Sat and Sun while I got the rest of the gear in place. There is still some work that needs to be done here and there, like the files, yes they are important and I'm working on it but there are many other sites CombatACE runs and they need to be online as well, so I'm dividing my attention to get the critical stuff knocked out on each site, then the important stuff, and finally the small stuff. So bare with me, I knew last week this was going to be a scary mess and here we are almost all of it behind us. Enjoy the new gear and see if 130 cores of processing power and a case of memory makes any difference on your experience. ~ Just the dude who mops the floors.

Or at least extend my membership for five days (assuming it is up today). Also please don't give me a bunch of IT mumbo-jumbo! Absolutely! I will make sure everyone is well taken care of when this is done, even if your subscription has expired. We need the subscriptions to pay for the place but in no way are we crooks. To be honest I'd feel the same way, right is right so fix it. I'm with you 100%. Let me get everything finished up and I'll make those adjustments. If anyone has any questions about subscriptions please don't hesitate to PM me directly. I'm always happy to help. Erik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has been rebuilding the site from the ground up. You have made ONE post since you joined in 2006 and your first one is to bitch about your $6.95? Erik will be more than happy to refund your money or extend your subscription. But have some god damn fucking common courtesy. You tracking ass clown? If I had my way you would get your money back and a ban from the site. Anyone else want to bitch, I got the ban stick out and I am itching to use it? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fallenphoenix1986 603 Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Did we manage to hide the nuclear ban stick this time or do we all need to duck and cover again? Craig :P Edited July 2, 2013 by fallenphoenix1986 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Dave 2,322 Posted July 2, 2013 Duck and cover. Crap like that pisses me off. Erik damn near dies last year, he stays up late making the site better for the public. Always announces what he is doing, if you have an issue he goes out of his way to fix it. All this while still having to go back for more surgery and still recovering. So needless to say I am going to say something. I understand he paid his money but that does not give ANYONE the right to be an assbag on my site. I can give the money back and add my own to make up for it. I will not tolerate that kind of rudeness from anyone. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
