Ok folks, we are back in action again
A few of you may have noticed over the last few day's that B1 has been a bit sluggish, it seems that the posts table in the MySQL database managed to get corrupted and was causing a few problems. Last night around
10,000 posts were lost due to this corrupt table, i think i am correct in saying that we
lost most of the posts made after the 28th October. Zone-mr and Sephiroth will recover what they can but i don't hold much hope of a lot being recovered
Zone, Adam and JackDynne spent more than a few hours last night pouring over logs making sure that this was just as it seems, an accident, act of god- call it whatever you will.
No sign of tampering was found- it's just one of those things, files can get corrupted!
I would like to thank Seph, Zone and JD for their investigative work in ascertaining just what went wrong and thanks again to Zone for managing to straighten out a pretty messed up file. We know pretty much the title of every thread lost and how many posts were lost from other threads so at least there is a starting point for any possible recovery operations.
We apologise for the downtime but trust you can understand that occaisionally these things happen.
Thanks for you understanding,
BetaONE Crew
Edit - There are some topics that all of the posts didn't get corrupted, those topics are marked for having missing posts by a * at the end of the topic name.
