Just to let you all know what happened.
ARRSE runs on two servers; one that has the website and the other the database. These are located in a facility in Germany that experienced a major power issue on Thursday morning at approx 1100 hrs. It would appear this knocked out the hardware they have for protecting against such events!
Over the intervening 48 hrs the company has been slowly restoring the thousands of servers they host and bringing them back online. One of these is ours which has now obviously been done.
Unfortunately the sudden crash also corrupted our database which has meant that we've had to restore a previous version. This means that approximated 7-8 hrs of posts have been lost between 0300 and 1100 on Thurs 24 May.
Sorry but its nice to see you all back again
Obviously this has all been down to GCO's hard work.
I don't believe a word of it. It was caused by the huge number of SABCs being doled out on the 'IDF shoots 50' thread in the Children's Activities area previously known as Current Affairs.
Welcome back!
