[Sy123]

what has changed?
Was it just the server, or will we expect some sort of new look/logo etc.?

 

[Al_Alchemist]

I was a minute away from slashing my wrists to be with Smogon in the afterlife, guess I can hold off on that for now.

 

[Fatecrashers]

I like the fact that Smogon managed to crash for nearly a week for no explained reason

I mean that's like Serebii-level badness right there

 

[Zystral]

what i like more is the fact that life now seems to go on as normal?

I've explained to a million and one people why it crashed, but here we go again:

there was a power outage, the server was put on backup power, my host sent me an email telling me to turn off the server, which gmail put in the spam folder, so the server was forcibly cut off power, which screwed up something that I don't quite understand and left the server unable to boot, so I had to fiddle with it to see if I could get it to boot, which it wouldn't, so I had to transfer 26gb of backups to my work computer, wipe the server, reinstall everything, transfer 26gb back, import everything and fix bugs, etc

 

[tup]

Whoa chaos, you're like the chief of badassery on the Internet.

 

[Renosaur]

and that solves the case of the mysterious server crash

 

[Thorns]

...and i would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling smogon users on facebook
