Why was ET down on Wednesday?

[Pekelo]

Just curious... I didn't see any explanation thread yet...

We had an unexpected database server failure, which required that it be rebuilt from scratch. Not one of my favorite days to be sure.

You don't have your site backed up?

Obviously he does. That's why all the old posts are back.

Barron.. you need more redundancy.. this stuff is costing you i'm sure... an entire day down on a site with your traffic.. costs alot of money.. and i'm sure doesn't make advertisers that happy.. just a thought.. not trying to be a dick.. i run a few sites myself. and i've never had one down for a full day...
