So what happened?
So would someone like to explain what happened to the site? Why was it down for several days?
It's kind of annoying that the several free forums that I have never seem to go down, but paid forums like this with fancy servers and what-not seem to have problems regularly. Lets just get rid of this site and make an InvisionFree forum.

This is not a paid forum-with very few advertisments to hurt the eye as well- The last time I checked I didn't see any money coming into our vaults. I explained the crash on the last thread and repeating myself only makes me tired...

I mean that the forum is being paid for by the owner, not that members pay to be on it.
I didn't see a thread about the forum crash, could you link me to it?

In case you haven't found it yet, I'm guessing he's talking about this post. |

Quoth The Raven
Here is my earlier reply on the other thread-
Ultimately it is the owner of this site that can fix major problems involving the technical aspect of this site. The site for the past week or so has been experiencing some corruptions in its data files. The active Admins and staff don't have access to the overall coding of this site in order to fix any file corruptions that may occur. Only (Yusef) the owner of this site has access. He didn't notice this problem until recently and he than corrected it.
Yusef has been a hands-off owner-meaning that he has let the staff run the site as we seem fit- he looks in on this site every few days to see if it's running smoothly. Unfortunately after he fixed the last problem he didn't check in until yesterday to find that the problem still persisted. The reason why is took the owner so long was that his VM notification didn't notify him. Hopefully we will get a better way to communicate with him more expeditely in the future.
We apologize for the inconvenience of these last few days and when we get a better handle on what went wrong we will let the general membership know.
Update:
The database has been rebuilt and a newer version of vbulletin has been installed-lets's hope that keeps the bugs at bay
my warmest
bob
