Well... its been a chaotic, stressful and rough week for those that noticed the Mod Database hasn't been up for the past 6 days.
Before I begin my short rant, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the Mod Database visitors, many whom pledged free-hosting in our time of need. Unfortunatly resolution wasn't that simple as up until the 6th of February, all Mod Database files were and still are locked down. Fortunatly we have a backup which is a month old, so please bear with us while we recover the remaining images etc.. which you may notice are missing.
Now for an explanation, basically put the Mod Database's hosts (Oktagone) ran into a spot of bother with there hosts (EZZI). Now i'd rather not delve into the issue here, but to put a positive spin on this painful period, I do have to say both companies have been working around the clock to sort things out and well simply put.. nothing is as easy to fix as it seems.
There is still work to go, but it shall all be behind us in the next 24 ~ 48hours. Rest assured there will be no more downtime!
All that remains to be said is please PLUG the MOD DATABASE on your website, we need to let everyone know we're back, and better than evah! (well maybe not the better part, but at least we're back!) Oh and more positive news is that in a month or 2 the moddb maybe securing a permanent download server. More news on that in a couple of days.
/me plugs modDB into power point
Yay
Finally! Great to see it's back after the small absense.
I post the news on my website :)
It's nice to be back :D
You tell me it has only been six days, WOW, It feels like it has been months to me. :D Glad you're back up
Whew, i began to think the worst had happened...
Yay good to see, good work to the moddb team! :)

Wohoo. I was starting to wonder about this place.
Good to be back! Even if it is a month old.
Ah, so there you guys were! :o
But I kindof anticipated this to go wrong, as maintenance rarely goes according to the book.. ;)
Still, it's good to see that you guys are back. I'll mention ModDB and (finally) update my profile with my next media release. (Hopefully this week..)
i thought you guys banned me.
back on track... and INtense kept his word, a day or so... good job there. i hope nothing simliar happens again. and a month... who cares... most important is it is back for good.
Yes, Moddb being down for almost a week did feel like a lot longer, since I've been coming to this site practically every day. I hope nothing like this happens again for a while. Welcome back to life, Moddb :)
Ohohohooo! It's online! ;D
Noice stuff, it's nice that they have an IRC channel, as people just kept talking in there :)
Yey *me hugglez modDB

Welcome back!

modDB is being generously hosted by Oktagone you retarded ******* :P
Anymore slanders of OktaGone and i'll hunt down who you are and personally stab you in the face.
Glad you're back up again, still waiting for my site's resurrection :/
sucks about the whole oktagone thing, alot of sites went down:(
Mmm yeah I'll help greg do that too .. if they are over this way ;)
What happened to all the images? None of the galleries work...
Also on our mods profile it only shows we have 1 team member, we thought this was fixed, but it looks like its messed up again.
That's all mentioned in the newspost, ernie..
Meanwhile: the Nightwatch site is also down due to Oktagone difficulties. Everybody; please keep yer pants on! Just think of what you can do with the time you save from visiting those websites! You can do stuff such as modding! :o
those errors you mention ernie shall hopefully be fixed in 24 hours or so
yea Been following since last weekend and letting others know via my LJ on what was going on! WOOHOO! Thank god you're back!
yeah thats awesome
Good to see you guys back up, I was getting worried, your site is one of my favorites :)
oh wow, its amazing, i hadnt noticed :P
Great! We missed you guys alot! :D
I totally thought modDB had died. I even held a small personal funeral in my backyard with an empty box. But it seems that you ARE spawn of the undead, which in this case, is very very good!
That's amazing! ;:D:D:D:DD
Thanks to those who made ModDB's return possible.
Welcome back.
Heh, I didn't even notice because I was on a 7 day vacation.
Must have been hell...
lol, it was
and to think... you guys grew from an insugnivicant little anoying addition to ones favorite list to one of the biggest mod resources online...
so what DID hapen those 6 days anyway?
or am i too blind and have missed the story...
note:
not that i found modDB annoying... only no very usefull at the time
How long before the images are back up?
YAY FOR MODDB! WOOOOO...WOOOOOO! :D
