What happened?

Look Morty, Max and Will,
I know I've been upsetting poor Kase a lot in the past few days, but there's no need to crash the site and wipe all the posts from the past two days!

Trinity's recent posts have gone also, which is tantamount to wiping you arse with the Magna Carta or chucking the Declaration of Independence in the bin - and I'm not exaggerating at all!

This is why the internet is for pussies - thats right - PUSSIES!!! If all posts on this site were written in biro, this wouldn't have happened, unless you had a lot of correction fluid. So where have these posts gone? And don't say they fell down the back of the computer, because I know for a fact thats where you keep all your 'special interest' magazines and that big tub of 'Wanklube', so there's no room.

I'm phoning up 'Electronic Injury Lawyers 4 U' right now - they'll soon turn up I bet!

I can't say for certain, but I guess the whole problem was related to the server switch, (which as I type this I still don't know if it was completed successfully or not, I had an early night for a change).

I know that when Morty mentioned the switch last week that there was a slight possibility some posts would be 'lost' but such is life.

Let's be honest, nothing of any real importance went, it's all just crap anyways.

I think that this would also explain the problems that waggzy was having in getting into the site, I had similar issues myself for a while.

Morty can probably fill you in better though.

Yes - it was the move to the new server. This is now the new server. Some posts were lost .. no biggie.

True, Max - but unless my thoughts are recorded, the only way I can remember further back than half an hour ago is through self-trepination. My drills are getting blunt and I'm running out of skull - thank fuck for my crash helmet!

That's debatable, but I really don't give a shit, so I'll let hibby think he won.

It's not the winning, it's the taking part that counts.

Looks like Chump beat me to it.

I was having issues moving the database of MTW due to the huge size of it.

The program used to import a "backed up" database file will allow a file to be about 52 Meg. And that's more than enough for the typical everday website out there on the net.

Well, leave it to me building the shit out of this site and all of you participating so damn much with the site, my database file was about 140 Meg. That's bigger than most websites with everything combined.

My database was around 140 meg and the site all together was over a Gigabyte. I had no idea MTW was so fricken huge.

So yes, I had a bit of trouble moving MTW and the last capture I had of the site unfortunetly was a day or so ago.

And hibby, I sure hope the dude in your avatar is holding a carrot or something and not holding another dudes dick in his hand. Its hard to tell. I'll let IronDog thoroughly inspect.

He can spot a penis a mile away.
