Back.

[Brett_Tabke]

Whew - What an ordeal.

Some day this week when the smoke finally clears, I will give a full accounting of what just occurred.

Moral of the story: we will have a real world workable disaster plan in place by the end of the month. It will specifcy that WebmasterWorld will not be offline for no more than 4 hrs maxium regardless of the circumstances.

[CathyM]

So fast, nice! Welcome back and all the best!

[caspita]

Also, bestbbs lovers, notice the team listing on the about page :-)

Well ... the About page still says that the website is hosted by the old host ;-)

[nancyb]

I can only imagine how much work this took to get back up. Oh how I missed WebmasterWorld today - needed to look up some stuff about setting DNS TTL and could not find what I wanted anywhere else. Soooo glad you are back. Thanks Brett!

[nancyb]

Hey Brett - the About page still shows "This site hosted by Westhost" ;)

Wellcome back.
Server is really faster.

We all need to make buckups ( backups :) ) of our sites.
I need to put remark somewhere.

[fish_eye]

Is it just me or does the affiliate forum have allot of non-affiliate related questions (like html etc)

Sure looks like it - they are adjacent in the numbering (forum20 / 21).

20 is an almost exact duplicate of 21.

[Import Export]

Nice to see things back to normal, good job :o)

[isorg]

we have a new top of the line server

Out of interest, what are the specs?

Welcome back!

[incrediBILL]

Did I see Brett mention somewhere this is all written in Perl?

No wonder it took so long to recover ... <ducks>

[grandpa]

I'm finding myself checking to see where I'm at... maybe I should do that more often.

Well done Brett and Team. A crisis situation for the site and you all pulled of a very smooth recovery.

Classy recovery, Brett!

[Swebbie]

Hey, is there where I can ask if it's ok to click my own Google ads? <ducks behind Bill>

[sem4u]

Welcome back. I have missed this place.

[mifi601]

Whew, glad it's over :)

Here in Austria server wayyy fast!

Glad to have you back!

[JoaoJose]

Uff...finally :-)

[questwtg]

Your back Great! I thought with all the negative posts about Google update here, that Google had dropped the hammer on your website.

Remember: "Failure is not falling down, it is not gettnig up again."

[rj87uk]

Well.... Im still twiching :) hehe

Welcome home!

[Namaste]

Good to have you back.
Don't leave us again

[r3nz0]

ooo, good job guys!

what is the world without www

[mangotude]

I have to add a 'me too' here. I always appreciated it, but now I realise I NEED it! I'm sure a lot of people have felt the same.

Incidentally, if you haven't become a supporter, I would recommend it - you're helping WW and (speaking for myself) it pays for itself easily in the first month.

> aff forum

yep. error in the db - fixing... will take awhile. I appreciate the tip...

[Essex_boy]

I was going cold turkey.

[Brett_Tabke]

12 stickymails in the last 8 hrs letting me know I had not updated the host name on the about page ;-) hehe! Thanks!

[rytis]

Many thanks Brett - and everybody else involved - good to have our WebmasterWorld back fully functional :)

[BeeDeeDubbleU]

Welcome back WW!

By Googleguy

Glad to have you back at full-strength.

GG, where did Google get its feedback during the Jagger update with no WW to refer to? ;)

[oddsod]

Welcome back, Brett :)

[walrus]

Welcome back, missed this place like morning coffee!

[dvduval]

Congrats on getting everything working again, and I'm pretty sure it's running a little faster than before.

[Brett_Tabke]

Not unsurprisingly - this could be the biggest member page view day ever.
