silver Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks to everyone for their work in getting us back (especially StandardToaster) But so disappointing to realise all my brilliant posts of the last week have gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treasa Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks everyone. The absence of MFC over the last few days has made me realise how big a part of my life MFC and everyone here is. Missed you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabine64 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 What a wonderful morning! Getting up and turning on the computer and MFC is back!!! Thank god it´s only one week of posts we are missing, can´t imagine what would it be like if we had lost everything, all our history, reports, links to interviews and so on. So I´m really happy! And a big Thank You to all people who worked on it and spent their time to restore the MFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn Mastin Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Welcome back MFC! Thank you to Andrew and everyone who worked so hard to get the site back up and running. It was great that we all managed to keep in touch by twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingkites Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 YAY! Thanks to everyone for getting MFC back and running, you guys are amazing! I never realised how much MFC meant for me, I felt so lost and kept worrying whether there were some huge news I didn't know about because I couldn't log in here.

crazyaboutmika Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hello all, We're slowly getting back up and running after the longest outage in MFC history! It's good to be back. You'll notice that all posts made after April 20th are missing. This is because the hard drive failed in the server MFC is hosted on - all data on that hard drive was lost, and cannot be recovered. Luckily, there was a backup copy of the (ENORMOUS) MFC database that was only a week old, dating back to April 20th. After our hosting company repaired the physical server we're hosted on, we were able to restore the site from this backup copy. I know it freakin' sucks to lose a whole week's worth of posts, but let's all be thankful we didn't lose over five years worth. It will likely be slow going for a while as our techie StandardToaster (Andrew) is re-indexing the database. Let us know if you have any questions - and welcome back! Thank you Thank you Thank you We missed our home so much It's great MFC's back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchAnnie Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 YEEEEEESSSSS ... WE'RE BACK.

Christine Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Welcome back everyone. Much thanks to Andrew for ensuring that regular backups were in place and restoring it once the server was back up. The alternative was unthinkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Sky Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Thank God we have an awesome techie in StandardToaster, he has saved the day...and the forum almost in its entirety...we could have lost everything... I was thinking about worst case scenario, and thinking how lucky we are to have such dedicated MFCers like Mari62 and Kumazzz and lots of others (those are just the two names that came to mind) who have big hard drives full of photos and videos all catalogued at home...can you imagine if we lost all our links and photos... I do wonder about this gigantic forum though, it already has 5 years of stuff...does it just go on growing and growing, or do we get rid of a whole heap of old stuff?? Nobody wants to clean our house that much I am sure:teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
