THE NEAR DEATH OF 12ozPROPHET - 04-23-2009 until 05-29-2009
As I'm sure most of you have no doubt noticed, there's been a major problem with the boards starting early afternoon on Wednesday, April 22, 2009. We're still investigating things, but sometime on Wednesday we had a catastrophic failure of the 'post.MYB' table in the forum database for 12oz. Basically this means that all post data here on the boards got corrupted in a very ugly way. After two straight days of running every sort of diagnostic and recovery effort known to man, we were unable to save it. Worse the automated backup was of the corrupted data, so that was useless as well. Our only choice was to try and put it together with the last clean version of the data, which was from April 11, 2008. Luckily, only this one table of data was lost, so all user account information and other data was saved.
Anyhow, we're working to fully understand what the hell happened, and once we do, we'll put a plan together to keep this from happening again. In the meantime, here's a unique opportunity to rebuild all those same threads to be even bigger and better than the originals. We'll post another announcement when we have additional news, and definitely feel free to email webmaster@12ozprophet.com if you spot any other weirdness going on.
Apologies for the drama, and thanks for the continued support.
