I lost over 3000 posts just from the last two weeks of posting. Any possibility I could get my post count fixed? Should be 6000 posts. Thanks.

Listen a minute:

You redo your posts, you change your avatar back to what it as and life goes on.

If the server "ain't broke, don't fix it.".

[Movieman]

It wasn't being "fixed"
It was doing a backup and took out two drives.
Sucks but it is what it is.

Damn....

Looks like you need a third drive.

Look like is time for you need to be quiet.

[Aerou]

Yeah some RAID666

Yupp, sheit happens. I was too busy to post stuff and visit XS lately, but some people must have gotten really hurt.
Wish good luck to some guys for a succesfull deja vu

[Movieman]

Damn....

Thanks for the explanation.

Amateurs at work.......

But as someone stated earlier, this happens a lot to XS. It has always had this broken service and reliability issues.

[Reznik Akime]

I've gotta ask this question here..

Do you people think he's happy that it happened? I'm quite sure he's delighted you folk are reveling in your own grief! Seriously, think for a minute before you speak. He's just as mad, if not more so then you people who are complaining. You've spoken your grievances, now move on and be slightly more constructive in your following posts. Unless he is a masochist, I highly doubt that he likes his forum being down, much less the fact that a whole week of information is potentially lost.

Get over it and move on. People on the internet always thinking they're entitled to something. Yeesh.

[MaDuLo]

some people could argue about that

[saaya]

That's not what she...

hahahah, great counter!

Fully agree, I don't visit XS that often anymore, but a lot of times I wanted to go on it was down.

May I remind the people here that it has been like this for ages and ages, no not the last year, but for years. I think XS has one of the most unreliable service records of any forum I have visited.

This is a complete failure, and I'm surprised people put up with this if you think of all the reasons why this shouldn't be happening. Admin 101.

If you did this at a company, you'd be fired.

i totally agree...
i know charles only means good by taking care of the server himself, but its just not something you can do easily... and its really time to get xs hosted properly imo, id even pay 25$ or whatever for it if thats the problem...
but then again i dont get how other forums run fine without any donations..

coop, where did you find that picture of the xs server?
now that i see it... i really dont get how it could have failed, its clearly memtest stable!

easy, calm down

screwing up is punishment enough right?
knowing you caused a huge mess and have a bad conscience for it is pretty bad... but i dont think its a reason to tell people to stop complaining.
xs is free, but so are 99% of the forums out there... and they dont go down all the time. as long as the complaints result in xs coming out stronger from this crysis than it was before, i dont think complaints are a bad thing.

if nobody complains, some people might think its actually ok to have xs down every now and then and lose posts... and i dont mean in an evil MWUAHAHAH way, but simply by misunderstanding what the communities priorities are.

[saaya]

everybody with lost data, go and check google cache ASAP!
you might be able to find your thread/post over there!

i checked and unfortunately there was only a backup of april 16th... but thats still 6 days more recent than the xs backup, so go check it asap before google updates its cache of xs!

Complaints are alright, but beating a dead horse isn't. I've seen several of the same people today posting over and over again that they're upset. Some even copying their post from another thread and putting it on another. (You know who you are.) Discussion is fine as well, but when you start sounding like a broken record no longer are you complaining, but just trying to instigate.

There were precautions that Charles could have taken, but he didn't. I'm sure this time around he tried to take several precautions, but when two drives out of a raid 5 fail it bites the big one. Who's to say he wasn't in the middle of trying to backup the raid 5 in anticipation of an impending failure, but it went out before he grabbed a good backup.

It's a -free- forum in which some decided to pay for whatever reason that's their own. And for whatever reason, Fugger is doing this mostly out of his own time.

And I'm not directing this at you Saaya. Just people in general.

At least show some sort of appreciation folks. XS has been a major outlet of free information that many have taken from. The people who actually lost something (Guides and whatnot) have all the right to really pitch a fit. Those who didn't lose anything.. Chill.

Rarely do I stick my neck out on any internet forum but the audacity of some people really skeeves me sometimes. About 98% of you people complaining will continue to return at some point in this forum's lifetime. Maybe 2% of you will go to one of your other sources.

Either way, the option is there. You have the right to look elsewhere for information. If you don't like it here, exercise that right.

That's why RAID 5 is vastly overrated. Wha'd he do, pull a good one trying to pull the bad one?

[charles_h]

when 2 go bad your screwed..

I think I saw that title when I was walking by the Adult section at my local video store and inadvertently glanced at some of the dvd covers...

[saaya]

Reznik Akime, i dont think so... i think your seeing mal intent where there isnt any...
people are just upset, some more, some less... its only natural that people poke at each other or complain or rant in such a situation... what do you expect?
i think its important to know that tempers are a big high right now and most of the things people say now, they dont really mean in a bad way, they are just upset... thats it

LOL

ok, i gotta say dave, how come most of your posts have really nasty double meanings? is that your subconsciousness or are you doing this on purpose? ^^

Is there a raid that can handle 2 drives go bad?

RAID 6.

Hmm.. Maybe yer right. Point taken.

[Movieman]

RAID 6.

Correct, IF your card or board supports it.
Mine does raid0,1,5 and 10 but not 6..
A GOOD raid6 card is big bucks..
