Speculation: 2024-2025 General Lightning Discussion III: We’re back! Kind of.

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

I go back to NFSnet (pre internet as you know it, when Gopher and Archie were the search tools ) and we weren't that irresponsible as this. I also helped build the web severs, global content distribution, network architecture , and support for the Atlanta, Nagano, and Sydney Olympics web sites, plus many major sporting events, where reliability requirements 99.995% which we met. If we could do it i by 2000, when the internet was 5 years old, you would think things would be better 25 years later.

I mean this site, it’s always had kinks. Used to completely go down during the trade deadline and the draft was a mess
