AHHHHHHHHHH thats the stuff!!:D

Yeah finally. So what happened?

[CoolZone]

Very nice!

[Daveburt714]

That had to suck Fugger! Thanks for bringing XS back online, we all missed ya bud... :up:

[Bobsama]

'bout time! :p: I felt like the entire internet was down!

[hank123]

ya back and lost half its members ya!

[Shintai]

Weeee! SO nice to see XS back! :D

welcome back, so long

This is xtremeforums biatch they'll be back :fact:

two whole weeks. that was one hell of a downtime

glad to be back! :yepp:

[jasonelmore]

Is there a official welcome back post from fugger anywhere?

[Sly Fox]

Heck yeah!!!!

This is xtremeforums biatch they'll be back :fact:

IDK, surfing around during the down time I saw a lot a whiny biatches out there, XS would be better off without them. http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/6132/nutkick.gif

So glad it's back. Dealing with some people on other places was not fun.

[Defratos]

No way you guys are back:shocked::welcome::shocked:I nearly had a heart attack when I couldn't access the site for like 4 days so I started a thread in my car forum to see if anyone knew what was happening, thankfully a member in that forum is also a member here so he told me you guys were changing servers....BUT 2 WHOLE WEEKS..I was checking every 30min

I think the admins should have sent us all an e-mail saying they'll be down, because it was a real shock to my system lol :yepp:

and I'm travelling tomorrow so internet access will be to a min :mad:

but it's good to be back :rolleyes:

Not knowing how Fugger has this place set up, there are means to make pretty much any site HA (High availability). I would be willing to help out where I can (I do network/security architecture primarily but also do work in system (and subsystem) design. Not that good w/ back-end database redundancy but I know we use oracle for similar multi-site or ha environments all the time for active/active (or cheaper databases that you have to manually switch).

Do not Phase change OC your server this time hmmkey ?

This is just stupid... With a forum this size and paying members you cannot "try this" and "try that"..
Get some decent hosting instead of running a home server.. at least with some proper hosting you have a daily backup..

Right now XS=XtremeSucky..

At least it's back online for as long as it lasts... :rolleyes:

Hey you could alsways write a wget script to mirror the site :D

I think it was the Pirate bay thread.... it got so political it burned out the SSD's and the backups :D

[XS Janus]

why no backup live server?

Calm down and re-think your stance bro, it's not exactly that of a true XS follower.

[MaDuLo]

But the guy has a point though, 2 weeks out of the air?
That is a LOT of downtime, too much for any site, that is only 96% availability during this year (and XS regularly goes down), so we can turn that 96% into 93%
Although that number seems high, it is a terrible number for availability. I thought XS had better systems, right now it looks like amateurs are at work.
They can test their bloody mac server before they use it for the entire forum.....
Plus, they have paying members, which makes matters worse

There is no paying members...some people have "donated" money to help out the overall cost of someone picking everything up themselves.

Just lay off the bit_ching for a while and just get back to what this is here for.

If you are not happy anymore, leave...if you like it, stay. Easy!

Come on everyone...let's just remember this is not somewhere that people owe you just because you come and post...this is a cyber community that is impressive to say the least. And if you want to talk about utilisation, then 93% is exceptional for any business. :up:

[khamo]

Cost is not the point. A site like XS should have backup in place. I know I have enjoyed and learnt a lot in these forums where I lurk often and contribute little. And go thru serious withdrawl anytime its down. For so many smart people, it is not unreasonable to expect better planning and deployment

[gr8golf]

That's kinda the point. Why bother running 25 miles of a marathon and blow off the last 1.6? Getting some redundant hardware, keeping an effective backup system, and testing changes in a development environment before rolling them into Production are very basic and would save a lot of downtime and admin stress.

I don't sound like I pay for it but regardless.. I know damn well what it takes to run a forum and a websites as I have both.. and unfortunately I know all to well how much it sucks when it goes :censored: up..

The point I'm making here is if you have proper hosting or a backup plan you wouldn't have these issues..
XS has been up and down a lot the last year.. sometimes for a few hours and sometimes for days..
I respect Charles a lot for what he has done in the world of hardware but you simply cannot experiment on a server just because you want an extreme one.. especially not with one of the size and activity like XS..

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

ok so the next time your running a board with 7 years of high volume posting and you lose 2/3rd of the data to a power outtage make sure youve got it back and recovered within a few days or else your just being a hypocrite and a schwanz

[NightCrawler™]

That's one of the perks to have it hosted at a large datacenter.. Even in extreme conditions you can get back online in 48 hours with a data loss of max 24 hours depending on the cron job..

The loss of content is another matter. It's downright inexcusable.

[Conumdrum]

Most of the whines come from newer users. Look at their join dates, and some have ponied up the 25 to help out.

5 years with nary a major issue till now, good record methinks. Imagine the cost for a datacenter with XS bandwidth. You ready for 'wanna read here? Pay here' for everyone.

Give Fugger a break and be happy this place is here. There is NO replacement for XS. If it goes down, all these experts we look as gods will be scattered to the winds.

Keep it up Fugger, please keep us posted on your progress. And needs.

Rackspace is roughly 15 dollars per U.
1 Amp of power is roughly 30 dollars.
Bandwidth for a mix (Level3, XO, Global Xing, Cogent, Sprint) about 15 per meg.

I'd say to run this website would cost about 150 month.

XS connection 10 meg up and down + 3 servers each has Dual quad (last time FUGGER talked about specs) so it has to be more than 300$ a month if you considered the hardware depreciation .

3 servers? Doesn't make sense. Wonder if they are trying to do some redundancy but its not working correctly.

out of that 10 meg connection, I doubt they max it out. I bet its closer to about 5-6megs tops. You can pretty easily get a 5 meg commit with a 100 meg ceiling. dual quads pull about 1 amp of power at idle. I dont know much for the macs, but a Supermicro dual quad pulls about 1 amp at idle not much more at load. My datacenter in dallas runs a GB feed from each one of my providers. Mind you I only commit to 400 megs total, but I'm able to burst to around 5GB

yes, at the contrary of what I thought earlier today, today's post won't be lost as there shouldn't be any attempt to recover what's actually lost (with a more recent backup). So XS is just up and running "normally" now.

Has the troll hunt started yet? Ohhhhhhhh... a French troll, too! Those are the nastiest of them all. This will be a good hunt indeed! :yepp:

Isn't that called a tróll?

since i join XS i remember only two or three times the server fail and this not bad at all comparing to some Arabic forums which they fail twice a month .lol

[Tonucci]

But the guy has a point though, 2 weeks out of the air?
That is a LOT of downtime...

What if it was forever ? What do you guys who complain have to do with it ? Yep, nothing ! They owe us NOTHING.

Ohhh you are banned already :yepp:

It's only happened a few times, i've learned that PEOPLE ARE NEVER HAPPY esp. on the internets. There is a rollercoaster forum that i visit where the site operators go to theme parks and post pictures/videos. A few times the forum members would start whining and whining about getting the video of some new ride or whatever, while the operator is on a trip who knows where, has to go through a million photos to post an update and people just whine and whine, they want it now!

Also i am reminded of downloading movie torrents and reading the comments where people say "You took out the director's commentary!!" whaaaaaaaaaa, you're already getting the damn thing for free!:shakes: Though i stopped doing that stuff since i got Netflix.............

As much as i like XS, i got to admit that it has by VERY VERY far the worst downtime compared to any site i have ever visited on a regular basis and it's been that way pretty much since i registered :shrug:

the uncertainty is stressing me

Is the database going to get the posts restored to it?

[G0ldBr1ck]

ok guys, seriously no personal attacks over this, please.

XS is going to get fixed, its not gonna get hosted and we are not gonna have to start dealing with add banners again (hosting is expensive)

I have noticed the adds are back. Not complaining as they dont bother me, just pointing it out.

Is the database going to get the posts restored to it?

we don't really know, but don't get your hope up.
just repost what is missing and move on...

and i probably wouldn't mess around with database integration for now or any other upgrades resulting in something else messing up...

[ShoNuff]

Man i love XS. It's like coke & hookers.

I agree...costly and dangerous!:rofl:
