Wow!!!!

I was in a threat in the Cast Boolits section responding to that thread and after I posted, my post appeared in a thread that was entitled something about a 6.5X55. I can't even find the 6.5X55 thread under Cast Boolits anywhere.

Twilight Zone stuff. Never saw that one before.

I found it under Military Rifles and it's about the 7.5 actually. :grin:

Twilight Zone stuff.

With such a small caliber... could it have been just lube purging :bigsmyl2: ?

Sundog,

Aladin is haunting us all :)

Actually a backup of the database was created before the switch to the new server. Unfortuantly I wasn't notifed about it so I couldnt turn the forum off. So the posts, private messages, etc that happened AFTER the backup was made was basically wiped out. It couldnt have been too many, and sorry for the confusion on that. I was in the dark for a while on that myself.

Willy,

I don't think it was too many either because last night I saw the lowest amount of members online that I've ever seen.

By the way, did you use a "ghost image" backup?

I am in the chat for a bit if anyone wants to chit chat about the server changeover.

Joe,
Yea the site was doing funky stuff so most people probably just bagged it for the day. Also, as the DNS (domain name servers) were being updating with the new IP for the server, many people probably couldnt get in.

The backup was not in my hands, but there are many server's hooked in a cluster over fiber optics, it was probably just a direct connect of taking the info on one and directly transfering over.
