Improvements Coming
PPMB is indeed working, though erratically and slowly, 24 hours after the server outage affecting both Dariaboards. If a page doesn’t load at all, reloading will usually work. Many of the page graphics, though, including avatars, may not load.
Once again, all PPMB posts from late evening Saturday to late evening Tuesday (U.S. time) have been lost. New users’ account signups, and revisions to existing users’ accounts, from that period will have to be redone.
SFMB is still not working because, as Gamer reports this evening, “Some accounts did not correctly get restored and are still in the process of being restored, including my primary account [the domain gamerspage.com], which includes the SFMB. This is causing extreme disk I/O on the server, slowing almost all services to a crawl.”
Gamer also says that he’ll be moving both boards “to a faster and less utilized server within the next couple weeks.” It will have smaller loads and daily instead of weekly backups, so the loss of content from any future failure will be smaller.
Thursday, 1:00 pm (PT):
SFMB is back on line, with the same loss of three days of postings. Response and loading times for both boards are back to normal.
