Hello! We have an add-on installed that splits threads once they have 1000 posts, and it didn't do such a good job because the new thread did not have a first post, was closed and in the moderation queue, and did not inherit the prefix of the original. But, we've gotten it fixed now.

Good to know now if we can only get our members back on

I should clarify what I meant by "we have it fixed now"...I simply meant this thread is fixed.

 

[psalms 91]

lol I know, any word on what is wrong or when it will be fixed?

All I know is that Romanos is busy trying to get the issue sorted out with the host. I have no idea what the cause of the issue is or what it will take to fix it though.

OK thanks I am afraid we are losing members over this though I pray not

I think once the issue is sorted out, then we can try come kind of campaign to get everyone back. Romanos tried that with a mass email, but unfortunately the issues weren't resolved yet. There was no way he could have known that though, and he was doing what a good admin does and wanted to let everyone know that he thought it was fixed.

It's understandable though that users get frustrated when error messages greet them when they try to log on. Hopefully once we are (virtually) certain the issue is fixed, folks will be understanding that these things can happen and that every effort was made to fix it, and they will return to posting.

vBorg is populated with accounts of good site owners being plagued by hackers, and all of their data deleted, and having to use a backup, which even with dligent backups, means some posts are lost forever. Luckily our issue isn't as serious as that.

It is amazing how much work goes into running a site, and Romanos has truly had his hands full with trying to get the arcade running correctly for everyone, and then dealing with hosting issues on top of that. Unless you have access to the back-end here, you really can't see how much time and effort Romanos has put into making this site feature rich and fulfilling the expectations of our users. So, (and I say this for the benefit of everyone) rest assured that he is diligent and working to get everything running smoothly.

Yes, and I suggst once it is fixed that an e mail saying so be resent and perhaps some sort of incentive for coming back or even a contest for something.
