As I’m sure you all noticed, the board was down for nearly 24 hours yesterday with no access at all (for me, anyway), something that had me in a bit of a panic mode. What would we do if we lost the whole thing?

We have no protocol in place for making backups of the board on a regular basis (that I’m aware of). I’m not a tech person, and I really don’t have the time to put into this right now, but does anyone else think it would be a good idea for us to make a backup once in while?

I was thinking the same thing, tinwe, but I'm like you. I wouldn't know how to do the backup. I just think it'd be a good idea. Once a month? Is that too often?

This is weird - it's simultaneously down for me in firefox, but up and running in IE.


I only tried using firefox all day, and couldn't get on all day.

Any luck contacting civ0 and getting an explanation?

Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping
