The Entmoot Database
As most of you know, we have been experiencing problems with the database for the last 3 days. Some are able to get to Entmoot and some aren't. It is still a mystery as to why, but for those of you who can get here, I wanted to let everyone know that I was able to contact Ben last night, and he is working on the problem. Hopefully this will be resolved and we will be back to normal soon.

Mooters present seem to be using www.entmoot.com as the URL, instead of http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com .

Thank you, Sister Golden Hair, Ben, Earniel, Valandil and the rest of the staff for getting our Entmoot back on the horse. It would be so, so messed up if we lost our mootingplace forever! God, I was worried there for a couple days. I was seriously worried. Is there a way you can easily mass-e-mail the members, so that all of the mooters can be notified of the address change? A lot of members may not be able to figure out to put www.entmoot.com, I know I didn't. Grey Wolf & Butterbeer let me know about the change. Do you think that this is a thing you guys in administration can do, that is the mass e-mail notification?

Grey_Wolf and I have discussed creating a email group for just such occassions. If you still wish to do that GW, go ahead and set it up. Sorry I haven't gotten back in PM with you on that. I don't see a problem with it though. Sounds like it could be a helpful tool, since I have received a number of emails and IMs since this problem started. I'm sure Ben's Tolkientrail email will no doubt be overwhelmed.

I got through to the tech support at my host, and they fixed it up. Should work for all now. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Also - this absolutely flooded my Tolkien Trail e-mail account! I signed in last night and had twenty thousand error messages in there, and they kept coming in at the rate of one every three seconds.

Seems like everything is fixed now. I heard all the missing posts were restored. I forget who said that and where though.

Hi, guys. I could swear I entered a few posts here yesterday, and I see no sign of them - or it, mybe it was just one post.
 The site was inaccessible to me since about 5 or so yesterday evening, pacific time, and only just now - as in about five minutes ago - was I able to get through. When the site became unavailable to me last night, I was still even logged in, and was inable to even log myself out. Yet, I see that others did not have the same problem. Sister Golden Hair, BMilder, et alia, can you guys explain to us what happened? Will this keep happening? And were posts deleted, for some unexplained reason, (no reason why they would be as they were entirely well within the rules, nothing wrong there)or did they vanish due to this ongoing ghost-in-the-vbulletin problem?

I was unable to access entmoot all day until about an hour ago. No idea why this is happening. Talked to bmilder - he doesn't know either.
Seems to be ok now. Hopefully it won't happen again soon.

For some reason, posts made at "entmoot.com" yesterday all vanished, and now board is all synched up again.
When you run into these troubles, please let me know (via email: bmilder at fas.harvard.edu) the extent of the problem and I'll relay that to the host.
