What is going on?

I will tell you what is going on. I'm sure most of you have experienced trouble connecting to DC at numerous times in the past few months. It was for that reason primarily that I decided to move DC to another more reliable server as soon as I was capable.

No, it hasn't been moved to Singapore. That is just the temporary domain name we are using until definecynical.net gets resolved. I'm hoping everything will be back to normal by tomorrow as far as that goes. My own server has been repaired and DC now resides on the same server that it did before the database crash about a year ago. I'm confident this will solve our connection problems, but if anyone notices unresponsiveness please tell me.

Aside from our domain name, the only outstanding issue is the fanart gallery. I'll try to get that fixed very soon as well.

Thanks for being patient.

Does this mean that topics that were lost during the attack where we moved to jent's server will be back?

It was a server attack where we had to change to jent's server, leading to him becoming an adminstrator.

There was no "attack" last year. It was just a hardware failure that left the database server inoperable.

There hasn't been an attack in over 2 years -- ever since we switched over to phpbb.

No. Those lost posts are gone forever. Not that anyone will miss them. Can anyone even remember what was going on for those 5 short days that the posts went missing for?

How can you even suggest that, you utter monster. You vagabond! If I knew you personally I would call upon your house, laminate your dog, ostracise your carpeting and ruminate on your abode's structural integrity.

NOTHING. That's what was going on.

If I'm lucky, I might remember what I posted 24 hours or so ago. These days when my brain is crammed so full with work and college, it's no wonder I ever remember the other stuff. Course it doesn't help that the last few fun stuff outside work and school involved alcohol.

I think we lost the entire "List reasons why you love Osprey" thread. :(
