Just thought I'd drop in to tell everyone that even though OO is down, my hair is still up.
I think this is the longest outage we've had at OO since its inception. It's actually allowing me to do real work AT work!
I'm not sure I want to live like that...
psstt.... get Jeff V over here. tgb missed him. |

To paraphrase the great English author Garth Marenghi: OO was like a candle in the wind....unreliable. i kid, i kid. here's hoping Rip gets everything back up and running without driving himself batty while doing so. |

People are missing the point. My nearly year old wedding website that Rip allows me to host for free is down and no one can see the pictures!
(Actually, if this were a year ago, my then fiance would probably be freaking out).

Just talked to Rip a bit myself and it sounds like he's hoping on having everything back in the next few days if I understand correctly. Just taking some time to reconstruct the stuff off the drives and get it back up and running.

Thanks, Gedd. Do you have any update on what the heck happened? As someone with non-personal stuff hosted on Navigator, I'd sure like to know so I can tell the owners of the site something more than 'uhh, stuff broke'.

Are we sure this doesn't involve Piña Coladas and Carribean beaches? Cell phones can be kinda tricky that way ...  |

Do you have any update on what the heck happened? If I understand correctly (and my geek speak when it comes to hosting hardware is very undeveloped), the raid controller corrupted the raid tables leaving the drives intact, but unaccessible. I believe Rip is taking the opportunity to move things to a more VM-based setup while he tries to recover the stuff off the drives. (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here Rip) |

What I don't understand is how this happened right after Rip got all that donation money from us. I signed up for the lifetime membership for only $1000 and now Rip and OO have disappeared. Aren't any of you other subcribers upset? |

I'm here. Funny to see my post in a recently bumped thread (the dark tower one). Been browsing for several days now, finally got around to trying to see if I remembered my password. Been playing FEAR and way too much Audiosurf in the meantime.

The traffic to GT is actually more concentrated on the front page. That said, not a bad burst of traffic but still nowhere near our cap. You guys are welcome for as long as it takes.  |

You have an entire community's thanks! Of course some of us drift back and forth anyway...... EVEN THOUGH you don't put me on your Live friend list...... I know I know... you're at the cap.

Days, huh?  Perhaps MHS should post some photos of herself. That always seems to make the time pass quickly as the forum struggles with how to say something without offending anyone. |
