There was some momentary issues with the page loading and letting others login... is there any backup effort in process??

I figured my job blocked the site or something. Good to know it wasn't just me.

We do need some backup. Forums: The Saving.

cheyne called me and was wondering if I was able to get on... I had a momentary failure to load but those occur on every once in a while from here... usually reload and its fine... cheynes issue was not being allowed to login for what ever reason... so I posted something to get the process started if it is not already

granted the main reason I want it is because it would be a real pain in the ass to rewrite my gurps character...

Your GURPs character should join us in the Observation Deck place thing. It's more Philosophy: The Discussing.

I experienced the same. Right before it happened we were the 4 that were logged in at the time. I agree Forum: the Saving is a very good idea

well I know that steven is the likely one to get this effort dumped into his lap but I am shying away from dictacting it... not like I am making any monetary contribution here (that was a hint btw) but he is the one who set all this up and has all the files for such for reloading... people are just wanting to make sure all the posts are preserved since they are unique...

I get the idea. I'll download the SQL databases to my backup desktop when I get home, those are the only bits that actually matter at all.

Wow, those databases are small. I've now got a local copy of the board and wiki databases on my harddrive. I'm having it generate a full backup file, for the whole site which I'll then download once it is complete.
