[UA] Answer Hazy, Ask Again Later

[Bret Allen]

Hi John

 

I think I have around 500 gig of space left on my hosting package and I go
nowhere near the 5 gig monthly data transfer

 

If I can help, let me know

 

Hope it all sorts out soon - hosting companies, eh? Kick em in the ear!

 

Let's all do a ritual that ties the UA website by proxy to google

www.unknown-armies.com is down again. This time it's because the hosting
company says the scripts that run the site were hammering their servers with
too many requests. I am guessing this was caused by spam bots trying to
flood the comments and forums with spam, but it's just a guess.

 

They've turned off CGI for the site, which means it's not working at all.
I've filed a support request harassing them about it.

 

At the same time, I went to back up the database containing all the content
and found that it was empty. I've filed a separate support request asking
where the hell the data is. I don't have any recent backups, as the site
pretty much runs itself and the software that operates it is no longer
supported by the company I bought it from lo, these many years ago. The
hosting company is supposed to back up that stuff regularly so we'll see
what they say.

 

More news as it happens.
