Rock on, so there will be invites again? Last I recall invites were banished forever because someone sold them on ebay or something. Looking forward to checking out the tracker. I hear the community is really good.Quote:

So thanks B for teh quick recovery, and for keeping our best interests at heart ;)
Look at the big picture everyone please.
Who cares about invites or individual accounts or how much you have uploaded in the last month.
Yes it is sad to loose anything but at the end of the day all of these things can be gotten again. If you lose your upload stats, just upload some more. If you lost you account or invites or whatever, there will be more oppurtunities to get back in.
The important thing here is that the site was backed up and will continue to exist.
As Brandon has said he has just ordered a new server and will be operational soon.
This is not a moan or a gripe as i said, it is sad to lose anything I understand, this is more of a "look at the big picture and celebrate"
Any news B ?
Well, we have a server. Now we're in the process of getting everything situated again.Quote:

glad to here that so can i join your wonderful place + wonderful new server ? :D ?
Thanks for the info indeed a great news moving forward, Brandon.
10x better than the old server sounds great. very good news
this means better speeds loading the forum and tracker good ;) anyway all the data is lost ?
I don't think so. They should have a backup some days old..
even with the new server already up, getting all the backups uploaded and running again will take a few days i think.
What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger huh? :01:Quote:

Well for me Brandon, I am sorry for the loss of your coding work that was on the server, this is far more vital than user stats, which most people will make back within the month. The coding you have been doing however is a different story. I understand the loss because I have seen the effort you and your staff put in to trialing different concepts and experimenting with what can be done with a private tracker.
It is great news too , that you will be bringing FtN back when others have chosen to close their projects with the clamp down by the Malaysian authorities, so I for one, want to thank you for the effort that you are making and hope that FtN carries on in the spirit it was intended.
Thanks Brandon :)
I am missing you FTN... Great to hear that FTN will be back soon...
brandon does this mean FTN will have alot of new features andQuote:

Well, shit happens. It does suck for us that has only had our account for a little while(mine was only a little over a month old).
But...the good news is that one more site is coming back, and that's good for the community as a whole. And that I'm happy about.
What did bagadaM do?
thats not what I mean I didn`t have an old account ( 5 weeks ) I don`t think it would be in the database :DQuote:

I am thinking about opening a poll about how many people would kill themselves if the ftn was gone forever... :lol:
i think none, they will definitely be upset but not that miserable to put an end to their own life... also off topic :)
I don't think so. They should have a backup some days old..
wil wait and see
I barely got on there about 6 weeks ago. Now I'm hoping I was lucky enough to have been a member already when the backup was taken since Brandon said it was a month ago
I`m not so lucky as you are :| so I still w8 for an answer :)
Well Tudor you said you got in 5 weeks ago. Me being a member a possible 7 days longer than you isn't too much more lucky but I guess all we can do now is both wait and see the outcome.
Good to heard the news on a new server, the downtime has been a reminder on how awful other 0day sites are.
"We will be back shortly."
"Almost finished :)"
:D:D
"Done - Signup open"
still not ready yet..
"lol ^^" :lol:
LOl ;)Quote:
