You know, we were talking about our Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Plan this morning at work - specifically, the building evacuation procedures and the need to know the gathering location to check in at.  My mind immediately went to 'That's what we need for the forum - a designated meeting spot if there's a disaster and we have to evacuate.'   :D


We trust you to do what needs to be done, Fred!

I'm keenly interested in making sure the community stays alive and in contact with one another. Whenever possible, I will minimize the downtime this part of the site has -- my ideal scenarios would suggest any major issue should get sorted in under 48 hours.

And this is reason #5769 why you rock, Fred!

BL - I've got it. If there's a disaster and we have to evacuate, let's all meet at JB's house. You think he'll mind?  ;) :D

And we're back.

I've got the security team at Midphase actively on the case now, so hopefully we'll be able to shut this guy out... eventually.

So happy to be home!

Midphase... Does that mean the forums are physically hosted in Chicago? That could make for a believable "Harry did it" if the lights were to go out on the host!

*Applauds* I'd say that's the best reason I've ever heard. I'm blaming Harry!

Thank's for all the hard work Fred, this is kinda getting to be like a real job, isn't it?  And thanks for setting up the NeverNever, I've got it bookmarked now, for use in case of emergencies.  :)  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thenevernever/

er, I can't send messages I think. I tried sending this to you twice Iago
******************
I can set up an emergency bypass on my site. I can rig up a snitz forum , and wouldn't mind paying a few bucks a year for a URL to point at it.

Heck, if you're using a db that you can export to, I can always export the posts in the down time to a file, and the threads could be added back to your forum.

I host on Crystaltech, not sure if they do PHP .

Lemme know. If you're contemplating , give me an idea of transfer so I can see how much of a buffer zone I have on my plan. I think I'm somewhere near 400 gigs free and clear a month over my needs.
