Did the forums just shit themselves?

  • All of a sudden logging into the forums the latest posts are only from 4 days ago....

    Looks like threads are missing too.

    EDIT: Looks like the whole site is borked. Stuff on the main page is from a couple days ago.

  • Yes, I was reading a post and refreshed the main forum page and all the newer posts disappeared.

  • Maybe changes are being made? Also restore up til today would fix that?

  • I'm gettin an Error 500 when loading up the main page sometimes. Also just noticed that I made the post in general discussion, sorry bout that I swear I thought I'd changed it to bug reporting :/

  • I got the same error and, yes, all content on the site seems to be from the 17th at the latest for some reason. Can't imagine it'll last that long.

  • We all went back in time. Tested is now covering time travel devices.

  • @SpikeSpiegel: If this is true will we see No-beard Will?

  • No more Minecraft for you

  • Sorry guys, just a little hick-up, restoring data now. No data should be lost.

  • @Baconbot: Only in your nightmares.

  • so everything should be restored now, just going through it once more to make sure. The only losses are the view counts on forum topics over the last few days, no way to restore those.

  • @honza: So was this a side-effect of the changes/improvements Will and Norm mentioned on the podcast or was this unrelated?

    It was part of an infrastructure update, we were moving our redis instance to a new server and something went wrong there. It was part of an improvement, but not directly related to what Will and Norm talked about, this was just an infrastructure thing, nothing related to the front end.

  • @honza: Please tell me you moved this thread to bug reporting for me and I'm not just imagining things... it's been a weird enough night :/

    Think it's time for bed...

    Indeed I have, just forgot to announce it, sorry and rest assured that, in this case at least, you are not imagining things. :)


  • Very good :)

    It was 3am and I'd just finished Diablo 3 lol. My mind was not in it's normal state.
