Shadow_Phantom12 · 01-25-2009, 02:57 AM

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!
Seriously though, who the heck knows. I don't buy the "maintenance" piece

TMP · 01-25-2009, 03:19 AM

Z22Z · 01-25-2009, 03:28 AM

Exactly, 1ADDICTS merged with Bimmerpost, the merge took about 20 hours to perform. Nice place you have here.

I was also doing a big change with a Forum I run (complete backup of custom setup and database, rebuild and optimise on virtual server, configure a new dedicated server and re-install and test). It takes a HUGE amount of time and care to mess around with these big databases (posts, PMs etc) and forum setups (Apache, PHP, SQL, Mail, CSS, permissions etc), Carl. And the guys who give up all that time don't ask you to pay for it. This forum is free for you to use.

No need for you to get Mad.

Same as my experience and the feedback I got : You don't know how much you would miss a Forum until it is gone, and all the quiet, hard work that normally goes completely un-noticed when it is working perfectly.

I have nothing to do with the running of this E90post Forum

Just trying to explain to Carl that a lot goes on behind the scenes all the time, and doing larger changes take time. If it goes right, nobody will notice.

booforty · 01-25-2009, 05:51 AM

We were all on the forum yesterday Carl, where were you?

MEGA · 01-25-2009, 06:03 AM

Carlos, you were banned for 20 hours.. But then Vik unbanned you

roofer · 01-25-2009, 06:10 AM

Don't know what they did, but its lots faster.

Thanks Dave.

Mark & Jason were carrying out some server optimisation, involving the implementation of 1addicts access.
Some work is still ongoing, including forum searches.

Paul, that online party was ridiculous- I've never seen James & Tony dance like that in 'virtual' public before.

LOL. Ok doke.

willhollin · 01-25-2009, 12:52 PM

I think it's disgusting not warning us.

I had to converse with other members of my family yesterday whilst the forum was down.

If I had known I could have made arrangements to go out.

Will, I wonder if they felt the same way, having to converse back with you.
