Those were all in your inbox?

That must have taken a while to delete. *offers ice-pack for your newly aqcuired carpal tunnel syndrome*

Glad to see the Moot is back on its feet.

Same here...I was suffering withdrawal symptoms!!

What happened??
(BTW...I think I'll change the "my favorites" link to "www.entmoot.com"...)

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?

***HOBBIT*** · 03-23-2006, 11:39 PM

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.

Elanor's Angel · 03-23-2006, 11:42 PM

*groans* I'm stateing the obvious here but.... It happened again!!!!

*Attempts to calm self down again*

***Ben*** · 03-23-2006, 11:42 PM

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.

Lotesse · 03-23-2006, 11:48 PM

O.K., then that makes more sense, that they were all the posts from that time frame. I hope it won't happen again. All of us diehard mooters love this forum so much, and it freaks us out when we get these scares.

Elanor's Angel · 03-23-2006, 11:50 PM

Uuummm.... If we open any even slightly moot related pages, how are we supposed to e-mail you?

You can e-mail Ben Milder at his email address, you don't have to be logged on to do that. Check his info right now;he has his email address there. Then, if something happens again, you - or any of us, can email him from our own email account, independent of Entmoot, and let him know what's going on, and that we need help, and stuff like that.

Elanor's Angel · 03-24-2006, 12:48 AM

oooooooh! That guy! Ok! Thank you!

tolkienfan · 03-24-2006, 01:33 AM

I wasn't able to get on here for 2 days! I was in a state of panic!

I was trying www.entmoot.com and I was clicking on the links in my e-mails about my suscribed threads, but nothing worked!

I tried search after search!

I didn't know what to do! I hope it never happens again!

Geez. And I thought my 1k/day was bad.

littleadanel · 03-24-2006, 06:02 AM

BB, it's not only you - many mooters' posts - and even PMs - disappeared. I don't think anybody actually deleted them, more likely it's a freak-result of the violent server problems we had recently.

Seems it got back to the stage it was sometime yesterday - for example, I changed my avvie, and then I wasn't able to come to the Moot for a while ("Oops! we can't open"-page popped up all the time) and by the time I got back, my avvie mysteriously changed back to the old one. That's why I think it's just a weird server-hiccup result, nothing more.

Butterbeer · 03-24-2006, 06:08 AM

hiccup?

come on ...who's been giving the server the whiskey again?

Rev. Justin Timberlake · 03-24-2006, 06:11 AM

Probably BoP.
