There was a pile of trouble there this evening, but ye seem to have fixed it. I didn't try posting myself, but I don't think there were any posts for about three hours and a lot of threads were coming up with the 3am backup message.

More info on problems indicated by Angry Banana and Tar.Aldarion. Tried to post this earlier, but got errors.

http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=51416075

From error page:

Refresh isn't fixing it. Verified from another system with lynx.

The email for "Technical Staff" on the error page needs fixing too. It has regi.boards instead of regi@boards.

This may not be the best place for this - but how bout whenever the system goes down for a few hours an automated email gets sent to let people know when its back ?

Might be an idea to stagger it too so that theres not a sudden massive amount of people logging in all at once.

Why would this help?
1. It would put more load on the servers -sending mail to 70,000 users-not exactly smart or possible with the existing set up I think!!
2. Its not like we pay for the service-expecting this level of notice is a little unheard off for sites we pay to be members of let alone free sites.

Calm down - just a thought - plus I think it would stop people constantly re-checking every x minutes. Maybe not all - but a fair few - there are already emails sent to notify of updates to subscribed threads etc - I think it may help - it may not - its just a suggestion. Chillax there.

No one is not calm in here.....
Just responding to your post.
I doubt the same volume of mails would go out regarding subbed threads.....and if anything would put more load on the already overloaded hardware.

I assume he is an employee of H365 and Regi made an Admin account for him so that he could alter a few setting here and there.

Other than that.....we have been hax0red.

I look forward to hearing his platform and policies on how he is going to run the place now that he has disabled and banned all the other admin accounts.
