Baruch HaShem, we are back!

The imbeciles in our hosting company are responsible for the down time. We also have lost two weeks worth of data, including all of our many new members who signed up in the past two weeks.

There was a problem with the air conditioning in the place where our server is stored. So our entire hard drive burned up. We lost all of the data on our hard drive. Shlomo, baruch HaShem, had a backup for the data but the last backup was done two weeks ago. We cannot do backups every day, it is simply too time consuming. It takes an enormous amount of time to upload all of our data once again, especially on the Hebrew forum, where there is much more data because of the HUGE number of posts from our great Israeli members. So we are still uploading the Hebrew forum.

We will overcome this, G-d willing. It will be a small and temporary blip in our march to becoming a mass movement, G-d willing.

TruthSpreader · « **Reply #7 on:** May 20, 2008, 11:09:39 AM »

Yeah it's great to be back. But I wanna know is what happened to our posts???

Shlomo · « **Reply #8 on:** May 20, 2008, 11:11:27 AM »

Please be aware that some files are still uploading to the server.

I'm so sorry you lost some of your posts! My last backup was from the 6th. Our files are so huge it broke the existing backup software and I've had to do it all by hand these days.

It's not a big deal. This wasn't the first time I lost posts. In other forums I've lost them too.

Thank you Shlomo for all your help in getting us back online!

Everybody who asked questions of Chaim and Yesha will need to repost them.

I'm glad to see the forum is back up. I thought we had experienced an attack from Europe.

Masha · « **Reply #12 on:** May 20, 2008, 11:27:37 AM »

Every time this forum is down, my heart sinks. I think: "it has started already."

If this forum is forced to close down permanently, where would the members find each other? Is there some blog or some other forum one could go to?

Masha · « **Reply #13 on:** May 20, 2008, 11:29:14 AM »

Is the latest "Ask JTF" destroyed then?

Unfortunately, yes.

And I was looking forward to it too.

Thanks for all your work!

I'm mostly sad about the question threads for Chaim's and Yesha's shows being lost but I'm glad that I remember what I asked them.

I first thought that it was brought down like Peace Now did, but then I remembered all of the horror stories about the hosting company and their affirmative action employees. Glad to see the forum's back up, and Shlomo, you've come through big for us once again. You're the best!

Maybe Chaim still has the original tape.

That's what I'm hoping.

It's good that we are back, I hope that we repost all the good links that we lost.

Ask JTF is also gone

Its so great to have the sight back. Those shvartza lowlifes who are promoted over and over again at the hosting company were probably on crack when they were on the job. I would be very surprised if the customer service staff at the hosting company was staffed by nice white gentlemen from the bible belt.

Hopefully they will be fired for doing this.

Chaim, was this a result of the incompetence of the African Action employees? This is a very unfortunate setback.
