is there anyone I can chat over IM (AIM, MSN, skype?) about this? I have some concerns I want to voice.

hm.. for the least cost is subdomain at my site, which would be free

or, register a domain -> point the domain toward my subdomain, and activate domain cloaking, so it will always be thebrightside.com.. I think. not too experienced at this stuff.

brightside is down atm! things are being fixed by the server peeps!

glad it went back online! problems with the datacenter..

thebrightsideforums.com is down again due to ISP routing issues. we are currently trying to get the situation resolved, sit tight! It is not a hosting issue, but the internet provider issue.

there are updates here. there should be no more problems in the future.

back to the boat.....

there appears to by a mysql database connection problem at this moment.

contacting the host....

I'm rather annoyed at the moment at all the MySQL problems plaguing the server recently..
and I am very sorry for the problems they cause.

If the webhost can't get em fixed I'll have to swap hosts >.>

taking The Bright Side offline for a bit - backup and update to phpbb 3.0.8.

Added on November 24, 2010, 3:04 amI am so very very very very very glad I made a master backup..

when I told the auto software installer ( I was doing it manually previously ) to backup everything, it somehow didn't back up any of the tables.... O.o"
Downloading the master backups. 30 minutes.

I will also be moving the forum into its own hosting account, so backups will be faster and easier. this will take some time unfortunately.


speaking of which, caver: original malkoff W dropins were 5000K, after complaints, he changed to 4000K

moved the bright side forums to a new account (one it's own),

manually uninstalled most of the mods, making another backup, then updating again.
I'll then redo the mods and we should have a working forum!


edit again: we're back!
