Restoration Process Begins!
Site news, by Dr. Cossack on 28 March 2002 at 1:52
After several days of downtime, I finally managed to put the MMPC Website back online! (well, partially at least)
What happened: On the Sunday 24 March 2002, at 12:57, the serveur hosting my website crashed. While it is unknown at this point what exactly caused the problem, the keywords are: "Complete System Failure". Both the hard drives and the backups drives crashed, loosing all data stored on them.
What does this means: Simple - the website went down the drain. All files on the server were lost. I have almost all of the static files on my computer (HTML, etc), but the data created by interactive scripts was lost (Message Board, Oekaki, MegaCards, News, etc). While I can recreate all scripts, it will be like starting anew, with no data.
Instead of simply reuploading everything at once, I'll reupload the sections one by one, to fix any possible errors and update the information (some sections were awfully updated). You'll be able to follow my progress on this operation by the left menu (when I add it).
Now, I have to ask you for some help. A lot of valuable data was lost, including the Oekaki pics. I'm pretty sure that several of you saved some of the pictures on their harddrives. I would be most grateful to you if you could make a zip file with all the pics you have and to send them at recovery@interordi.com. I still have the comments for all pictures and the scripts, so only the pics are missing to recreate the board.
My regular contact address remains dr_cossack@interordi.com. If you sent me an e-mail in the past few days, I'll answer it on either Thursday or Friday.
Note: this design is in no way final, of course. Consider this as a test ;-) More to come later!
