Site issues and restore to 10/25

Post by kmax » Thu Oct 26, 2017 2:31 pm

Due to some major issues with our server which I was unable to get it to recover from today, I have been forced to go back to a back up of the system from yesterday mid-day. I apologize for the inconvenience but any posts made after about 11:30 am MDT on 10/25 have been lost. As the system was not functioning very well after that time, there were very few posts that were lost but there were a few for which I am sorry. Please let me know if you see any further issues.

Kevin

Thanks for getting the site back up and running. I had to go cold turkey yesterday and I was getting the shakes! :) Good work and thanks for all you do for us.

No problem, and please guys if things are down and stay down for awhile (hour or more) please feel free to send me an email or hit us up on twitter. Me, rtb and SonomaCat are all pretty busy anymore and sometimes aren't able to check in here all the time. I do have some alerts set up to monitor this place if it goes down but doesn't always get caught.

I should have looked up your email during the few times I was able to pull it up. Did you see my tweet at BN?

Did not receive any mentions or messages on twitter. Our twitter handle is @TheBobcatNation and my email is pretty simple, kevin@bobcatnation.com (though kmax@bobcatnation.com will also get to me). Can also always send to bobcatnation@bobcatnation.com and it will forward to all three of us as well.

Looks like it was a protected tweet. I have now made it public, so I guess it should also embed.

Oh, well you got it right around when I tweeted anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter.
