The forums host disappeared for a few days and seems to have resurfaced so the site is back online.
Thankfully, I back up data frequently so even if they went kaput totally then we would have not lost much.
I will move the forum to another server soon enough anyway to ensure more stability and speed but at least I will be in control of that situation and can minimise downtime.

I was lucky enough having had backups - other webmasters out there seem to have lost clients because of the farce! See Blazernetwork Down

Well done for taking backups! 

As a moderator of another forum, I know how hard and thankless admin / modding can be, so "big up" the mods!
Ciao,
Spokey

Database Backups were done every 2 or 3 days and each involves downloading about 250-300MB.
Website files are backed up every month as the only things that change really are users file uploads. These are about 650MB.
Thank the Gods for broadband!

Absolutely agree,  a brilliant job is done with this forum which is hugely busy. Killian must never sleep, he always seems to be around. I add my thanks to those previously.  Steve.

Killian,

I cant belive they alowed all of there servers go down with no redundency... It makes no sence for a web hosting service. Where are these guys based? Its one thing letting a fourm go down for a couple of days but what of their other customers????

This sort of outage should be a thing of the past.

Are you going to move hosting or is it your call?

Mick
Cheers

Killian, you're an appreciated star.
Oooh, The machine of a dream, such a clean machine With the pistons a pumpin', and the alloys all gleam, When I'm holding your wheel, All I hear is your gear, With my hand on your grease gun, Mmm it's like a disease son, I'm in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile, Get a grip on my .......

Mick - there was some bull answer on a forum about having to replace servers etc, but i can't see why a backup of their sites could not have been used.
I am keeping my eyes peeled for a reputable host that will provide us with enough disk and database space for the forums needs. Currently the mail and www servers are running. However, the ftp server is still down and I want to get any recent uploads by members. However, (fingers crossed) I reckon that the service will be back in a day or so.

Rhys - I believe that Nigel was the one who jinxed the host!
