General Cycling Discussion - Thank goodness BF is back!!!

Joe,
Thanks for getting BF up and running again. I have been going through withdrawal all week. :(

You ARE the man. :thumbup:

I hate to admit it, but me too :) Can you say addiction?

I had to cry myself to sleep everynight! :cry:

What the hell happened?

My productivity at work has dropped because I'm trying to find something to do, rather than nipping in here, posting, and then going back to work. :D

I was getting bored reading only Velonews and RBR! :o
Welcome back!

Thank GOD - I thought it was me!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... that's better...

That sucked! The server got fried.

Did you have a good disaster recovery plan?

Man, I thought that had been tracking my internet usage at work and had put a block on this site for spending too much time here! ooooooohhhhhh shudder! I'm glad BF is back and running and I'm not in trouble!! WHEW!

Well, I know that the crash was a bad thing for all of you, and I certainly didn't enjoy it myself. But, it did do me some good. I am taking the ACT again this Saturday, and I had to reveiw 200+plus pages of math concepts this week. There is no way I could have done it if BFC was running.:D But I am happy it is back up.

I think it makes you appreciate this form of communication even more. For the past few days there must have been a few hundred lost souls floating aimlessly around the Web unable to make contact. Weird or what?

I saw ChrisL and Alister posting on another forum, but it makes you think does'nt it?

:)

YAAAAAAAAAAA! BF is back!
:D :beer: :dance: :thumbup:

Kinda ;) I download a backup of the forums each week to my home computer. I keep a daily backup of the forums on the server itself. Luckly, we didnt loose anything this time around.

Joe, sorry if I sound prying, but couldn't you upload the backup onto the .com site whenever the.net site goes down?

the .com site is hosted on a different server, it will only support about 5 - 10 concurrent users, once it hits that, it takes down the server :(

I could put it on the .com server, but it would take me a few hours to upload the data (dial up connection), the data may be a week old. Once the .net site comes back up, i wouldnt beable to save the new .com data into the old .net database.

I may move to a new host with redundent servers and daily backups, but dont have the cashflow to do that yet.

I thought my firm was on to me.

I got a lot of work done in the last few days.

It's good to hear everyone's, umm, voices again.

Me too! And we're doing layoffs here. I guess that qualifies this as an addiction. :(

Ok, thats cool. I was just wondering.

Joe, netsol.com, a verisign extension, has .com domains running for 35 dollars a year. I don't know anymore details, but if you want I'll contact them. Just PM some questions to ask.

Phew, that was a close one Joe,

Glad we're back everyone :)

Rich

Great to see you back, Joe. I've just been on sporadically for a few weeks after my move and a change in ISP's, and I also thought it was something to do with my computer at work. Just got my new connection this morning and still couldn't connect so I was beginning to wonder(panic?).:eek:

Hi Joe,

Did the site go down again today?

Rich (still recovering from the last time!!!) :(

I thought that they were punishing me at work!

Yeah, I missed this place like anything. Does anyone know of any voluntary organisations that exist to help people recover from this addiction?

Your all a bunch of bikeoholics :D

cheers!

Glad you got the dynamo fixed Joe :D

I was so relieved when I found I couldn't access the site at home as well as having problems at work :)

Richard

I had a sort of time out on BFC, but i`m glad your all back, cheers Joe :beer:

GGGGRRRRR,

I missed my BF fix! Hell I even missed D*Alex.

Ride Safe and keep posting *S*

That was my thought exactly! My boss had noticed I waste to much time @ the BF. Then I realized "Hand on a minute. You are self-employed and not even that schizophrenic, how could that be?":p

With all these server crashes adn not being able to post, my dern posts per day(PPD) are down. Just when I was closing in on Pete...:D

I think it might take us all a while to get anywhere near Pete. I'm still on about 2.6 posts/day :eek:
