Hey guys, as you might have noticed we were down for most of the day. But I am happy to report we are back online
The bad news is we lost all posts for the day.
The problem happened when I was testing out the newly released vBulletin 3.50 Beta 1 software. In setting it up I clicked on the wrong item and because of it it trashed the SatelliteGuys database.
SatelliteGuys is backed up twice a day so we were able to recover, although not as quickly as I would have liked. Our database is now almost 3 gigabytes in space, with the majority of it being made up of the search index. The main reason it took so long to recover was because of the search index. Because our backup backs up everything there is no way of telling it not to back up the search index.
Again all posts made today (Tuesday June 14th) are gone.
I do appologize for the inconvience, and thank you all for your patience.
