Forum downtime 03 Sept 2010 - ArmsAndLegs Guy - 09-03-2010
The Forum server Virtual Machine crapped out today around 20:30 GMT, due to a heat issue on the host box.
When the Forums were brought up again, one user had been lost from the member database, due to being in an active session at the exact moment the Virtual Machine dumped its core.
This user needed to be restored without any loss of messages or rights, causing the need to use black magic, sacrifices of rubber chickens, and manual SQL editing to be performed.
Suffice to say, this succeeded, and Fellow Hoodlum is now back as a user with all his rights on the forums again, and none of his messages lost.
We apologize for the downtime.

Surely you could have edited Hoodlum to look like a pink puppy for kicks?

SQL editing to restore Hoodlum? A&L, Cannon, and the rest of y'all involved. You are da men. Though, you could have forced Hood's theme to Hello Kitty and locked it like that for giggles...
