AC2 will return

[Buster's Uncle]

...We're experiencing technical difficulties our tech d00dz are having trouble coping with - but have not given up.
We're not going anywhere, thanks...

Good luck, I hope you'll manage.

Forum's back up. Seems it was Roze after all.

Repairs in progress; we appreciate your patience in the interim...

 

[Buster's Uncle]

God Bless and Keep Solver, btw,

What happened to the archive of the original Firaxis site?

 

[Buster's Uncle]

Server's down atm.

 

[MysticWind]

Who's the ISP? Is this temporary or might this require migration to a more stable server?

 

[Buster's Uncle]

iFast, and I've wanted to migrate for twelve years...

 

[MysticWind]

Can you just put the html files (at least for the backup of the original official website) somewhere like on Dropbox or Google Drive and let someone else host them?

 

[Buster's Uncle]

I could, I've got all the files, but I haven't given up on the forum yet...

 

[MysticWind]

Oh, it's fine for you to keep working on the forum, I just mean the Firaxis site files so it can be mirrored at multiple places

 

[MysticWind]

Looks like it's back! Great job fixing it!!!! <3 <3 <3

We are now firmly in place on our new server - thus, the fast pageloads I've been getting for over a day now. Happy days are here again.

Everything I know of works as before -but faster and presumably more stable- so far, except the AC Wiki.

wilkesreid tells me he's tackling the email notifications first, then something to do with sustaining httpS addressing that enhances user security, then the Wiki.

-Later -but soon- I'm hoping for an SMF forum software update -which will make a big mess temporarily and take a few days- and any other feasible security measure we can take.
