Site mainly restored and available again
Topic Site - Information
Posted by LombudXa on
Hey all
For those who weren't aware off our recent downtime, we had a fairly big problem with our host. They managed to get our main harddisk formatted instead of another harddisk within that server... They also deleted the backups of 10 site owners, included our site. So there was no way to get our site back as it was unfortunately.
I have lost a lot of work I've done for the site, mainly improvements to core modules to improve performance and to make it cross-browser friendly. I could recode certain things already, mainly the most important and sometimes necessary parts for the site, so it works again.
What have I done since the site was down? Well, first I was fairly shocked of course but luckily I had some backups of the database and also the files. The database is missing one month now but during the August, we haven't had much of posts so it's not that bad. The rest of our database could be restored and is available again. Well, here's a list of what I've done so far:
- Recoded XHalo theme so it works with this CMS (still needs a lot of work but should be k for now)
- Restored database (still a few issues but mainly fine)
- Installed certain (not all yet) mods we used on the site
- Some parts I've removed or better said I haven't added them back but had to clean database etc to get it properly removed
- Recoded certain blocks, modules and other stuff we used before so it can work like it used to be
- Other stuff I cannot remember right now 
There are still quite a lot of issues with the site yet like the game server block and other stuff we used. I hope that I haven't forgotten important tools/features which is used most by our members but I think I've got everything so far. Please let me know if something doesn't work which we use a lot or similar things. About the other issues, I will try to get that fixed ASAP but time is short lately again and I don't know how much time I can spend the next days/weeks.
K, thanks for your patience and I hope you like to use it again
