A bulk email will be going out soon

However lots of people don't have a valid email associated to their account. If they do it's likely to go to their spam folder as well

So please let other people know the new url. Post on social media, other forums, or just texting/emailing people you know that post here

We'll get the redirect from the .com address eventually but that may take some time

The spam account was a good trick. Found my password re-set attempts in there

Yeah, I'm half way through fixing that so emails don't end up in there.

Incredible amount of time and effort put in by Duluth and Kirwan to solve this.

For reward, if you know you’re a bit of a dickhead or you spam a whole of on inane shit (like The Open location) then maybe post a bit less so they don’t have to deal with your shit.

I’ve taken my own advice.

Well done Dulth and Kirwan for the work behind the scenes to get this back up and running.

You're a bit fired up there

If this happened a week ago it would've been quicker to resolve. I was in the middle of setting up the new forum server. So I decided to try and complete that at the same time.. but it was taking too long

So we're still on the old box and that migration will happen later

Database backup is large now, since we no longer delete the posts. It's slow to move around and verify.

The pork chops I refer to are the reason for the fire up they know who they are.

Catch 22 innit.

Thanks guys

It was like a loss in the family this past weekend

Had to resort to this instead

[stodders]

@MiketheSnow Absolutely Mike. Glad it is back. All is right with the world again!

On the flip side, there was no chance for trolling South Africans to get their gloat in over the u20s WC final win. Maybe the admins foresaw it

[Canes4life]

Well played @Duluth and @Kirwan, thanks for the hard work getting everything back up and running.

It was so strange having a couple of big games to watch without the chat

So glad you guys got it back.

Well done @Duluth and @Kirwan, legends.

I think the resolution on the tipping group was that you'd finally decided to ban the lot of us.

[KiwiMurph]

Brilliant work @Duluth and @Kirwan

Thanks for sending out the bulk email - saw the new URL in there.

I'd figured one or both of them have finally flipped and fucked it off. Then when the main page came up as expired it looked like it'd been hacked.

The outage probably saved the server from exploding completely at the time of Ardie's chip kick on Saturday night...
