http://www.lightstalkers.org/hardware-failure-today An entire Lightstalkers thread via RSS/XML. en-us Sorry guys -- a hard disk failed in the main app server today, and it took us about 40 minutes to replace it and reboot. Everything's back up now and no data was lost. Unfortunately, outright failures like this are hard to protect against. To guarantee availability better, we need to set up a backup server, but we don't quite have the budget for it yet -- what funds we have are currently going to the app server, database server, and bandwidth costs. We're working on ways to generate more support for November Eleven, which will translate directly into a more reliable Lightstalkers. Thanks for your understanding and patience. If you have any other issues or questions, please email them to us at support@lightstalkers.org -- your email will receive a personal response.

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 22:41:00 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/hardware-failure-today#116634 Yeah, give us a dollar figure and let's pass a hat around. Tue, 18 Mar 2008 22:44:17 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/hardware-failure-today#116635 Let me know if you need any help in setting up a backup server or load balancer or anything. Wed, 19 Mar 2008 01:08:53 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/hardware-failure-today#116647 Yes, I think there really should be a fund drive. I would gladly give money if it meant that Lighstalkers would operate more smoothly. Wed, 19 Mar 2008 03:33:08 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/hardware-failure-today#116651 anyone can give money at any time, shouldn't wait for hardware to break down to think about supporting lightstalkers. http://www.novembereleven.org/support/ Wed, 19 Mar 2008 04:17:39 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/hardware-failure-today#116652
