Perhaps the US Goverment has fried the servers as we were too close to uncovering the truth about 9/11. (Can't get sarcastic smilie to work!!)
I don't think there's any doubt about Scooby and Bobbs' commitment. I believe they went through a lot of pain last time the forum broke. I think it's just sheer misfortune that two problems have occurred relatively close to each other.Cappo said:

To be fair to N&P though, we don't even know what the problem is and this only the first day of the problem (although it started last night) and not only do N&P have lives, we all have them. Lets get out there and talk to people whilst we can

Well ive been here over a year and in my time i dont recall any crashing of the site, when we did a re-vamp of the site, some members had some cache problems, but that was quickly solved
Welcome back FCCUK by the way :wave: Feel welcome to post anywhere on the site
the forum here has a back up serve, I think one is in texas AFAIK... its been discussed. everything is backed up here.
I am not sure how big our server is but it would be worth them chatting to ben if they want some decent hosting.
Like i said before, our server is very stable and Ben knows what he is doing so we are lucky to have him really
Just to make things clear.. i dont own/run the forum I am sub admin,l so i dont deal with all the technical stuff thats ben.
H isnt even a mod, he is just a user on this site

Hi guys and gals . Looks like the diehards have been the first to swap back here again . Sammiboo & hmallett are certainly very patient with us using their site as a refugee centre time and again, it's much appreciated !
I hope that forum gets back up and running soon, as I was in the middle of a group buy and arranging two track days .

I was just about to buy another coupe
And I don't have the contact details of the seller
Hey,
Yes Sammi is right, the FF database is backed up to 3 seperate servers across three different countries - we don't like taking chances here
As for downtime, we've had a few network issues here and there - though nothing to do with the server itself and we had quite a nasty incident last year or so when someone hit the server with a spam attack (trying to send around 3 million emails in a few hours - it was all stopped...) - the mail service has since been moved to a seperate server
So yes, there is more than enough power here and there to host the FCC if needed - with more servers on the way, so never will we be underpowered.
Remember though, there might be a legitimate reason for the downtime, which we wouldn't know as we're not a customer of the FCC's hosting company... things do sometimes go wrong, it's how the company deals with them that counts....
