Fire at Proboards server hosting facility

[The Bug]

Proboards have had a fire at their hosting facility. Many of their servers are offline including the ones hosting Logopolis Metropolis and The Final Frontier.

I'm sure you've seen this page already but here's some of the info page you currently get instead of the sites:


Seeing this page instead of what you expected?



Due to a fire at our hosting facility, many of our servers were knocked offline. We are working to restore as many forums as possible from backups. Within a few days we expect full data restore to all forums affected.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time while we work to bring all forums back to full capacity.

So the forums will return but it might take a bit and while they expect full data restore you never know.

So. All round to Darnacan's then? ;D

All round to Darnacan's then? ;D

We are still off-line and have been since Saturday. We have put an awful lot of hard work into buiding up TFF and I hope we don't lose the forum forever.

Would TFF members reading this please note that a temporary forum has been set up at the same address.

I'm sorry to hear this. I don't know how this forum lucked out. But everyone is welcome here.

Duncan & Thasc,

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Probioards are hoping to have everything back up within 18 hours or so. You were lucky as your server wasn't affected by the power cut.

That's kind of you to offer to help Prof thanks

Be patient everyone. While Proboards apparently has backups of all forums they are host to a staggering amount of them. That's a large amount of data. It'll take a while.

In the meantime, anyone for a milkshake? ;D

Hey copy cat. I'm the only one around here that makes typos.

LM and TFF have returned.

That said, there's always time for a nice milkshake here.

Mmm... raspberry...

[RichieTimeLord]

Much rather a pint.

[The Bug]

A pint of raspberry milkshake?

That's a lotta cowjuice.
