Daycare Center and Family Home Forum>The Forum Had a Major Database Crash
Michael 04:52 AM 04-27-2011
The forum had a major database crash that had been cropping up for over a week. I almost lost the whole forum from the last 5 years tonight. I tried installing a backup from the 26th of this month but that too was corrupted. LUCKILY, the one from the 20th worked. Sad to say that the last seven days threads and posts are gone. 
Good news is that I didn't lose the 77,000 posts from the last 5 years. 
Those of you that registered since the 20th will have to re-register since there is no record of you information or posts after that date.
Made that crazy 200 mile drive again at 1am and I am going to bed now at 5am. Very relieved to say the least that everything seems to be working now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Isn't it crazy what goes on behind the scenes? That websites require so much 'food and water'? I try not to take things for granted, and I'll be adding Michael to the list of things I am grateful for. Again.
Thanks, Michael!
Thanks, Michael!

You have no idea what the virtual world requires. lol it's like managing two worlds that you have to slip in and out of daily. ...actually, maybe you do know what it's like. Daycare is like two worlds. Isn't it crazy what goes on behind the scenes? That websites require so much 'food and water'?
