what's going on with the ps3 scene? fw since 3.55 hasn't been broken yet
there has been a hitch, lucky we have 9 lives lol
I have changed the domain to point to the new ip, but even if it populates now, you wont get anything for awhile.
He is going to back everything up, install new OS and put everything back on again, which obviously could take awhile.
They are also 8 hours behind me, and I am very busy tomorrow, but i have informed other staff so hopefully they can get it up nd running if i am not about.
But its looking like tomorrow now.
Any new info?
I know you're busy stoi, but im sure you can understand our anxiety/impatience :-) and, doubtful, but anything any of us can do to help?
We are still waiting to hear from the hosts...both stoi and I are in contact with them and we will update everyone with more information once we have it...this is obviously taking longer than expected but we need everyone to remain patient. The site will be back up and hopefully soon. We will update you with any changes though. The only thing you can do is be patient.
How about putting irc on a temp location regs? I've been lonely........
Just hope thay have an open signup to celebrate new server :)
Thanks for updates - unlike some who couldn't be arsed with reading the "must read" notes I knew there was the 'few days' possibility, but glad to see the 'slightly more' looks like a minor hitch (in comparison to TvTz RIP.)
Oh, and lol @ banning of your son, class XD
I was getting worried. Can't wait for the tracker to be online.
we have settup a temporary IRC server using the old irc domain irc.blackcats-games.net:6667...if you cant join right away its because the DNS hasnt propagated fully but you can try again at a later time
Congrulations, To Your success
there's more to the matter than stoi's attitude, that's why I reply, do you understand that?
if you are able to see that, you will also see that i took his finger twice before i give him mine, just check his previous posts
so there's really one question that matters.. are you really that much of an idiot? or are you an attention whore who makes dumb idiot posts so someone replys to you?
SQL Error! Can't access tracker but the blackpaw is back!
Do you not realise, you gave me the finger first by not reading the news even though you clicked the link to read it because it was too long and not in caps, and then you have the audacity to ask on here.
Regs said that at 4 this morning, but i am still getting nothing, hopefully the hosts are messing with it, but i have no further news im afraid.
bibble
it is up
BCG return few hours ago
site is p now:)
Still down for me.... hopefully just DNS taking time to update.
If his attitude bothers you so much and you are so eager to tell him to take his tracker somewhere else, again why do you continue to post? What else is there to "the matter" at hand? All I've witnessed so far is you getting butt-hurt about his attitude towards you, because you admitted to not reading the news postings before asking stupid questions. (idiot posts ftw)
Again, who is the attention whore here? Seems to me it's the guy crying about how crappy Stoi's attitude is, telling him to take his tracker and shove it.....yet..continuing to post in a thread about the same tracker (about his attitude over and over no less) and apparently entering the IRC channel. I was simply asking a question, which you still failed to answer while being as ignorant and rude as possible. Lick balls guy.
There are a few times once in a few months where someone is just so idiot that you actually gotta make him a picture for him to understand.. i'll do that once again buddy..
There are free games in the matter, there are other users who dislike his behaviour in the matter, and there is world peace in the matter, that's why i post, and will keep posting as i see fit.
me and stoi were far trought that point since the last time you posted here.. did you see any of us debating that again? not, get over it please, attention whore.
also, i didn't entered the irc channel, but that just proves my 1st point above.
There you go, 3 lines and your existencialism perhaps ceased
Perhaps if you had a healthy life you wouldn't need my help, for further questions search a shrink buddy, no hard feelings
We may be fucked.
kernal errors on the servers, Hosts dont know if its fixable, hopefully it should be, but we just dont know yet, I dont even know whats wrong with it 100 percent. (whether its just the HDDs or the server themselves)
Best case to worse case.
Fixed, we come back up. (really hoping for this one).
just the HDDs we reinstall, but we dont have a populated DB backup (one of the tables was 89gig, so we just never got around to it :( (someone shoot me)) so we start again with tbdev
^^ we try to covert Gazelle as quickly as possible, but it still might take awhile, and install that on the HDDs and open up. again everyone will start from scratch, and no torrents
Actual servers have gone boom, get a cheap dedicated server from somewhere, get tbdev or gazelle on (probably gazelle, see above)
Thought I had last night, just say fuck it and let it die, but i very much doubt this will come to fruition, put too much blood sweat and tears into this to just say fuck it. (and we still have 4-5 lives left)
We will be back, when we will be back though I dont have a clue, could be 2 days, could be 2-3 months (hopefully not that long though) but we will be back.
Our IRC server is up, on a backup, thanks to askew1 for that, you can get to it with the domain irc.blackcats-games.net, we will try to keep that updated with any news as soon as we have some.
wtf is this dotdefender, its blocking me from posting edit: wouldnt let me do the percent sign, huh.
Stoi, it wouldnt let you do the percent sign because you are on restrictions. lol
I do hope that for the sake of all your blood sweat and tears that it does see the light of day again. Would be sad if it did not.
Good luck with trying to get things sorted stoi... hope you get things worked out
Well, we have been thinking about going with gazelle for awhile, just never really looked at it properly tbh, and it looks like a right PITA to convert it to a games tracker, TBDev is just change a few cats and its done, Gazelle is probably 2-3 months work to get it done.
If we havnt lost anything, we will come back as we were, thats not to say we wont push ahead with gazelle, but it is RC2 so not complete, and it doesnt look like its getting worked on anymore, and BTN saying they are going to ditch it as its a mess doesnt bode well I have to say.
Lets get back up first though, or at least see what the hosts say and then we can take it from there, atm we are just twiddling our thumbs and cant really do anything at all :(
Let us know if there's anything we can do Stoi, would hate to see BCG go the way of ScT.
We love you. Will help in any way possible if you should ask.
Cheers ^^ but there isnt anything anyone can really do at the minute, just a wait and see game, and we are still waiting.
We have IRC up, I will post here if we hear anything concrete, and we do have a twitter account if you use that @blackcats_games which i will try to keep up to date.
no backup of the users?? I understand one of the tables was huge but that wouldn't prevent you from backing up the other tables... I.e., the one with the user accounts/passwords/stats. Ya I know coulda woulda shoulda but perhaps this is a lesson to learn for the future. You need to have a better plan in place in the event of data loss.
The Hosts are bacing up the data now, we havnt lost anything, but its still going to tae quite a few ours (even a day or 2) to get us bac up and running again, but luckily (if the db doesnt have any errors anyway) we should be back and like we had never been down.
thanks for the info ...
They should be back in the racks on Monday, whether they are up and working 100% is another matter entirely though, but getting there.
Glad to hear.
