MGO is down again
« on: September 29, 2012, 12:24:52 AM »
Any bets on how long it will be down?

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the MOC IT team for taking such good care of our systems!

Hopefully your counterparty isn't in the same predicament.

I notice they specifically mentioned they immediately did a backup when they noticed an issue.  I would prefer to rely on daily backups that happen whether I notice a problem or not, lol.

Maybe you could do IT for MOC. You have some great insight and ideas. ;)

FINALLY! I was starting to get upset that I was agreeing with Pat too much, now I feel better that I can disagree with him again.  I got enough coals on the fire, just say no to more volunteering!

Ahhh. I feel better. I was beginning to think I was losing my touch. Especially since there isn't any Karma system to gauge my effectiveness.  :-*

Everything turned out OK and now I am the proud owner of a Rossi .357 w/ 6 inch barrel. Got to love the MGO firearms for sale section.

FWIW we do a daily backup, but SOP is to backup before you touch anything, as the daily backup might just be a day old.

basic procedure if you're a sysadmin.

(Yes, I'm aware MGO is down again right now. It appears that this one is an attack from an outside force, or our vendor is experiencing server issues.)

Also- I noticed I'm not listed as a charter member... Is that because My membership has lapsed?

Because I most certainly was a founding member of MOC.

Zig, are you refering to some type of denial of service attack or something else over at MGO?

Maybe it takes more than ONE post to be considered a charter member....  since you have 3 and 2 of them are above...    :o     ;D

Anyone could be a "Charter Member." All that was required was to pay a one time $50 membership fee. There were only 50 Charter Memberships available. They are all assigned now.

I'm a Charter Member. It says so in my user info box.

No, it takes being a member in the first year of this organization's formal incorporation.

Still have the certificate on my wall. :)
