Crimson smoked too much marijuana and is now paranoid about these forums.

Shit happens. D:

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

It won't seem that way when the forums are destroyed by a hacker.

That is if they get past crimm's security. Rocked Over

The forums have been hacked... more than once. Of course, that was when we were running crappy phpBB. Now we're on a rock solid BB software written by someone who literally wrote a book on PHP security.

You won't think I'm paranoid when something happens and we lose like 3 hours of posts.

I'm the bawss.

Security is good but the fact you backup your complete database each time, will become impossible.

It already takes 10-15 minutes now and the database is only getting bigger. Incremental is the way to go, you should start working on that now before your backup time becomes like half an hour :-s.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Unless the file is like 20GB it shouldn't take so long to backup. If I try and access the site on the hour sometimes I have to wait 10 minutes. I'm not lying, sometimes the page wont load until my system clock is at XX:09. If I close the IE/FF window and open another I still have to wait.

If it's backup time, go elsewhere, it doesn't help that you're all trying to do something with the database when it's trying to backup.

Renguard is a wonderful initiative

If I could have the times that the server does a backup i'd be glad to.

Um, I think I've found the problem, but fixing it is taking FOREVER. (Which is another indication that it IS probably the problem)

So, I'm going to work at it incrementally and try to improve things, but I'm out of town and I'm about to leave to go to the airport so I had to get things back up and running before I left so it will have to wait.

I'm the bawss.

Just a few minutes ago I got message that said "system error, please contact the web master" or something along those lines.

Considering the recent contributions of people like Rocko, I sometimes think this would be as great a loss as a sewage truck overturning.

You may be a fundamentalist atheist if...

That'd be great, I mean, hell I've seen loading times of like 20-30 seconds....
That's a high price for backups really. I'd just backup them every day or so...
