11/25 Downtime - Eos - 2012-11-26
We suffered multiple outages tonight and as near as we can tell it was due to ours host's being absolute morons.
After reporting the first outage, of the DB server, they came back 10 minutes after the problem went away with 'we cant find any thing wrong'.
Then the webserver went down and they came back with;
"Upon further checking, the container stopped working and it appears that it has been disabled unintentionally. We restarted the server it is now fine and working. "
I think it's seriously past time to begin looking for a new host.

I thought you just changed hosts a few months ago.
11/25 Downtime - Eos - 2012-11-26
No, that was expanding to more than one server so we stopped running into a resource tug-of-war.
Both servers are still with the same host.

I'm not sure if it's the result of this downtime, but some user avatars seem to be busted now. They bring up a 404 error if you try going to the direct link.

It could be something other than that, it just hasn't been yet.

That's impressive considering it doesn't have one... those are determined by files that get written out because they're static 99% of the time.
How it's possible for that far of a rollback is a disturbing mystery.

You'd probably need to provide examples since the odds of me spontaneously going exactly where you've been looking are pretty slim.

@Curtiss;
@Untradeable; are two that I see so far
Oh and ray it looks like. Experiment on him
11/25 Downtime - Eos - 2012-11-26
They look pretty gone.

:f6: I didn't know my avatar was gone until [MENTION=4235]KhainiWest[/MENTION]; mentioned my name. The odd thing is that I can still see [MENTION=9280]Untradeable[/MENTION];'s avatar just fine.
EDIT: [MENTION=1392]MapleCookie[/MENTION];'s avatar is broken for me.

That's because your browser's cached it.

Has to be since I don't clear out my cache very often. Well, time to upload again.

So you're clearing your cache in an attempt to not see their avatars, or are you misunderstanding the discussion here and thinking that clearing your cache will bring back the ones that got lost?

Yeah, my avatar is : gone, should I reupload or am I now the subject of science?

You'll need to reupload. Your previous one is still out there somehow but everyone who was hit lost current versions.
We actually lost a few entire php files too, but those are easier (and more important) to restore than the images.

I know that both you and Dj have changed their avatars recently, so that might be the missing link.
11/25 Downtime - Flonne - 2012-11-26
Argh, the one time I forget to save a copy...
Guess I'll have to find the original image and remake it.

I had changed mine recently as well, within a month or so.

I guess we can take this issue as a reminder to keep a backup.

New host please @Eos;.

I'm sad, but this one is just as good.
