Well the forum again went offline this evening after it had been fixed. I’ve now got our datacentre technicians looking into it. Things have been stable for months now so this is most likely down to some hardware error. I’ve gone in and repaired things three times now and the problem keeps coming back.
At the moment the mysqld service is crashing out and restarting leaving various tables locked and inaccessible requiring a repair. Sorry for any downtime folks but I’ll try to ensure that it’s sorted before the end of Sunday.
An error cropped up with the SQL database for the forums. The database is being repaired at the moment and should be back working without issue very shortly. Sorry for the headache but these things do happen from time to time. Things should be back up in about 15 minutes.
Update 02/01/09: (2029 GMT) All seems to be fine now
Update 03/01/09: (1000 GMT) The quick fix/repair hasn’t held so I’m currently conducting a complete rebuild of the affected table. This has happened before so I’m pretty confident that this will set things back to where they should be. Forums will be unavailable while I do this. Expect it to take a few hours. Fix ETA 1400. So far 173k of 196k records done.
Update 03/01/09: (1407 GMT) Ok that’s 3Gb of data rebuilt and it should all be stable now. Forums back online.

Well I’m finally down to having just one email to reply to (woohoo!) and now have an empty email inbox which is rather bliss. Apologies to anyone with an email or news item that didn’t go up as quick as they’d like but we’re all only human.
Well that’ll most likely be it for news posts from me this year. Roll on 2009! Thanks go out to everyone that makes things what they are around here including forum staff news editors, friendly retailers and our supporters that make this site possible.
I wish you all a prosperous New Year! Remember enjoy your drinks responsibly.. or something.

Merry Christmas folks hopefully not many of you are working today and getting a chance to relax with your family and friends.
I’d just like to wish everyone best wishes for the festive period, this includes all our readers, supporters, news staff, the forum staff (that do all the hard work) and the pixies and three hamsters that keep the server running!
Hopefully I’ll get a few spare moments to get all the email I have from this week online over the next 48hrs. Apologies for anyone waiting on their news to be published but it’s manic here.
