Title: We're Back?
Post by: Archem on May 31, 2010, 05:33:56 PM
So, the place died there for a minute. It seems to be back, for now. I'm not totally sure what caused the problem, nor am I sure why things have returned to normal. I'm going to assume that Osmose did some magic. Until he shows up and fills us in (or until whoever is responsible does so), we'll live with the thought that this is a miracle.

God/A wizard did it.

Yep. Ironically, you could call Alex a Wizard/God.

I received this message from him:
I was out for concerts.
However, issue temporary fixed. The VERY issue now will be to understand how to prevent this, Osmose already knows the kind of problem.
IT was not about permissions, it was not about passwords, it was not about our codes.... seems to be SMF, or some big hole at hosting provider level.
But naturally, the hosting provider said there's nothing wrong on their side...

Yay!! Charas your back! *Kisses the ground many times* Oh you have no idea how long I missed you. T_T Not only because I recently realized we are the biggest resource site ever but because I was JUST about to announce that my summer job is over and I was back too. = / Rotten luck, but hey I'm glad we're back! *Dancing for joy*

I was quite saddened by the lack of charas.

I was quite saddened by the malware Charas tried to download on my computer.

Wow, I almost gave up there actually.

Whew! Though I still had hope Charas would be back, I also feared it was gone... forever.

Glad it's back alive.

While it was down, I also kept receiving a warning about malicious program, file or whatever whenever I opened Charas. Might have something to do with it, eh. But anyway, yeah, it's back.

Cheers!

I kept getting emails telling me to fix the damned site.

I couldn't!

Oh Archem.   Its okay, even though you are the most amazing person on the planet on charas in my mind here, we understand.

Post by: Emerates on June 02, 2010, 05:56:45 PM
Everytime I came here, I got a warning from my anti-virus blocking a trojan from losotrana.net or .com or something.  That was probably the culprit.  I just came back here today to check and it didn't pop up.

Oh, Charas isn't infected with AIDs anymore.

Hm.

The Virus gone? maybe.
Aids? Still here.

<< Just to be safe, mayhaps everyone should run a check on their computers and as of now, this is a temporary fix. Don't be surprised if it happens again, =/
Title: Re: We're Back?
Post by: Archem on June 16, 2010, 12:44:02 AM
I guess we're back again.
Title: Re: We're Back?
Post by: A Forgotten Legend on June 16, 2010, 05:22:06 AM
Whooo!

I was beginning to get obsessed with checking to see if it was up.
Title: Re: We're Back?
Post by: MissingName on June 16, 2010, 04:54:30 PM
I still think a forum nuke would clear out any remaining traces of it.

And this is why I would make a horrible forum repair guy.

Also: Can someone like google a fix to this?

Post by: Cerebus on June 16, 2010, 09:03:04 PM
Just a comment: Charas is currently up because of a temporary fix. There's a chance that it will fall apart again sometime soon, so don't be surprised if it bombs again.

...and then Charas crashed again. Coincidence? I'll let you decide...

Alright what was PÜB?

How about starting your own PUB forum called "Teenagers with blind lust for PUB forums, that dont remember that PUB had its flaws too"
Title: Re: We're Back?
Post by: Cosmos on June 19, 2010, 11:27:44 PM
Oh hush up. It wasn't a hack, it was an error with the server/coding. Gawd, get over it and come to chat so I can yell at you.
Title: Re: We're Back?
Post by: fruckert on September 10, 2010, 10:55:53 PM
Goddamn man.

I think we need some new forum software.

I've never ever had this issue with SMF forums I've hosted, or been a part of. There's either an issue with our version of SMF, or the server host.

FINALLY.  Man, I didn't know what to do with myself.

I would say break out the forum nukes...

I'm starting to get used to this, yes.

Yeah, now it's kind of a "Ohey, Charas is down *goes to a different site*"

I AM OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCING THAT I AM GOING TO CEASE THE BOT INVASION.

Im going to add reCaptcha to the site.
Perhaps and additional means of bot protection as well, if its needed.
Hopefully this will magically fix the threat of forum downtime as well.

Well that's some good news! Next thing we need is more people, but that, you can't do much, unfortunately.
