hi all
We lost the old server due to memory failure and recovered from backups.
The migration went well and logins were re-enabled just now (9am EST). Nothing should have been lost in the cutover as I was able to successfully take a complete copy of the site and database.
Autoboot / skip is not yet re-enabled - this will be done on Monday at 9am EST. All turn timers will be reset at the same time and realtime games re-enabled. Any existing realtime games will be converted to 1 day turn timer games.
happy playing!
Tom
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
Amazing, Tom.
I made my daily login this morning and was so surprised to find the site up and running smoothly this quickly. I'll be the first to admit that I've let my premium membership slip from time to time. So, I just wanted to let you know how much I've appreciated this site and the fun it has brought me over the years.
Good Luck All,
Frank
Great that you were able to recover everything. Thanks a lot Tom!
My turn got skipped in this game though http://www.wargear.net/games/player/574094
Also, I'd swear the size of this board was bigger, but maybe it's just my brain playing tricks on me.
Thanks Tom! I really miss this place when it's down.
Thank you Tom for getting things back up-and-running.
I sincerely hope this process was not a large financial hit.
Thanks Tom! Glad to see it up and running again :)

Reverted!
Thanks for getting us back up so quickly!
That said, it was a long week (love this place!).
new server seem slow to anyone else, or is it just me right now? (CST 2330)
It's been fine for me so far but I was sleeping at the time of your post.
When does autoboot/skip get re-enabled?
I thought it should be have done an hour ago.

Seems fine to me -
Thanks Tom!!
I concur with Weathertop...it was a little slow for me at that time also. It's been fine all day today, however.
it seems to be fine for me now [2100 CST - the following day]

Autoboot/skip is not yet reenabled, nor real-time gamers converted. Just a reminder.

Tom has given us infinite life in WarGear. Should I quit my job? Oh wait, how would I sustain my infinite life then?
