the most mind boggling part

We made the mistake of placing our back ups on the same server as which we operated the site on (yes, we know, a HUGE mistake).

 

[bluetang_2000]

any other good forums out there other the BAR?

 

[Gomer]

Maybe it is odd..maybe it isn't. RC is down. They got hacked and their Database and DB backup which was on the same server was destroyed. However the RC archive is still active
http://archive.reefcentral.com/

Of course not

Of course you have to realize, as great an information source as the RB site is, anyone can go in there type beerguy as the user name, pop in an email address, and use www.reefcentral.com as the website and viola! Instant information from an "insider"

Hello RC Members.

Sorry for the interruption. We'll be back in a little while, I need to check something.

To the folks spreading rumors and making up quotes, it's pretty sad when you have to resort to lying to try and get members.

The truth is that during an upgrade to mySQL we encountered an error that needed to be corrected. Unlike most sites, our database is very large and routine checks can take quite a long time to run. That's one of the reasons why we're one of the few sites that runs a full nightly backup. We'll be back this morning with virtually zero data loss. Sorry to disappoint the folks forging the emails.

Slander and libel are pretty serious things.
Cheers

Man, just can't believe anything you read in the internet.

Believe it, the building the RC bot was housed was doused in beezle nut oil and set afire by the elusive arctic penguin.
