Fishtown.us dead

**ArcticSplash** · 12-08-2011, 05:32 AM

Looks like that ancient version of Drupal finally gave up the ghost

RIP fishtown.us

remember -
it's not only important to program automatic backups,
but to also make sure they're actually happening

**puzzles** · 12-08-2011, 08:45 AM

Just saw it too. This sucks. Anyone know if there's plans to bring it back online?

**seanmhair** · 12-08-2011, 09:07 AM

Its not the first time its temporarily disappeared.
Hopefully, Dan has some time to look into it, otherwise, we're actually going to have to work today.
Geez Dan, really, this is going to completely skew my productivity level.

STATUS UPDATE -

MySQL (the database program) on the web server spectacularly crashed yesterday, permanently destroying large portions of the fishtown.us database.

Unfortunately the automatic backups of the database don't seem to have been working.

I am going to see if I can find a manual backup somewhere that isn't too old.

If that doesn't work, I'll install an ALL NEW fishtown.us -
the history may be gone, but there should be better functionality!

Thats okay Dan, theres probably alot of stuff on there I wish I could make disappear.
Keep us posted...
Coder.

**ArcticSplash** · 12-08-2011, 10:45 AM

I'm still shivering in the cold w/o a f.us...

We should Occupy dan's house, coder, as soon as we all get off work.

Someone needs to wake up Brooke in between her baby crying and passing gas to let her know her God status is temporarily upgraded while Dan's out of commission

That looks like the baby duck I had as a kid. His name was Professor Quackers.

It's not much to look at to start, but expect continual improvements.

So get over there and start posting your butts off!

**seanmhair** · 12-08-2011, 02:22 PM

Yeah, I had one too. Named Daffy.
My mom got us tadpoles, so we could see how they grew into frogs, except they never got there. They'd get legs and disappear. Then one day we saw Daffy with frog legs hanging out of his mouth. Then he pooped in the pool.
After that, he was taken to the relocation camp on the Wissahickon.
Ah, the joy of childhood pets.

**Ftowntruehead** · 12-10-2011, 10:13 PM

Will someone please post a message for me over on the Fishtown.us site and tell Dan to check his private messages on Philadelphiaspeaks. I re-registered on Fishtown.us on Thursday but the account activation email isn't being sent to me.
