Thanks for a good job of fixing everything Nanaki and Tom! Let's hope the forum's more stable now.

Aww @ Fast :( .


EDIT: Wow, although I lost about 100 posts, the archiving of all the old ones has put me up to #11 by post count... Only 5 Templar Inner Circle's remain too...


EDIT2: The standard phpBB logo should still be replaced by TwoKinds'.

Yay, the forum is back. Thanks to everyone who fixed it.

Also, a thing I just noticed: Most users ever online was 37 on Fri May 15, 2009 8:30 pm
Not a big deal, but I assume this was a side effect from when you fixed the forums (like the old smilies).
Edit: Post 100!

That's for the better, I'd say. Considering the previous 'record' was apparently caused by bots... Not really a positive record to have, I'd say.

Eww, that seems like a whole lot of trouble Nanaki!

So Fast and everyone already lost their posts when you pruned before; but the post counts themselves weren't edited.
Talking about pruning though, there seems to be one topic left in the Newbie Board dating from 2005; whereas all other topics are dated past end of October 2008. A bit of history left behind? ^^ .


If there's anything we can do to help, say the word, Nanaki. (Unfortunatly though, I am unaware what the smilies were before, anyone has got a screenshot?)

Because I'm so prone to spamming, :roll:

Anyhoo, glad to see the forums are back up and running! I was worried we were going to end up having to recreate all of the current threads. But what did I tell you? The RolePlaying Board would be the downfall of the forum, and I was right! *cackles!*

Ugh. PHP4. That and MySQL 4 (which thank God they're finally startting to replace) are the great drawbacks of cheap, shared hosting. :(
Nanaki wrote:1. The php server ( the 4.1 version ) would not allow me to revert it to the backup. Reason being is that it has a maximum execution time of 30 seconds. All the backups i make are compressed ( to about 40 MB ) because uncompressed they are over 200mb in size. I emailed the host but they would not change it.
If you can edit your reversion script, you could try adding

Code: Select all

<?php ini_set( 'max_execution_time', 600 ); ?>
The documentation for PHP indicates that scripts can change the execution time out. Of course, hopefully, we'll never need that again.

Thanks for the fix, Nanaki. :D

The Perfect World emotes are the most annoying emotes I have ever encountered.
Plus they're three times as tall as the text. :o Let's not go there.

I actually never pay attention to the PW chatbox because of that, I think someone was trying to get my attention/hit on me (i'm a veno) while I was away for a few minutes but i'm not sure. Took me a minute to realize I had any local chat or whatever it is for close vicinity.

Nanaki, sorry you've been put through the ringer. Your heroism in the face of such frustration deserves a medal....unfortunately, this is the best I could do.
