Welcome back Ragin' Pagin

[KajunKrazy]

Thanks for your patience.

We are on a new server, self hosted as before.

I did the migration myself and I'm not as technologically savvy as I was when we started RP in 2002.

I simply copied everthing over but moving the database over with 23 years of comments and opinions was a major hassle.

The backbone are different so getting it to mesh was a struggle.

We are not done, (improvements coming) we have new forum software to install (already purchased) but had to get everthing working first.

It couldn't have happened at a worse time, but nefarious Cyber Attacks happen, so we have to deal with them. Not fun.

Hopefully the new software and server can handle them better for the next few years.

Sorry you all had to go through this, thanks for your patience and understanding.

I hope these unforseen problems didn't burn any bridges.

With the new server did you fix the feature to where if you get logged off and request a pass word to be sent to your email it actually sends it? I have 2 friends that haven’t been able to get back on after being logged off.

It is intentional

It is intentional

I don’t understand what that means? Are you suggesting they are blocking certain people?

Just kidding, when your only tool is a hammer every nail is a conspiracy theory

The RP server (which we are the only one on it) had 2.89 million simultaneous bot hits overnight and it knocked us out for a bit.

Fortunately the server bounced back.

We are on a never been used ip address so this is someone purchasing a denial of service attack with a goal.

I have no idea why.

. . . voice of experience . . . certain people are blocked . . .

You must have really made Martin Hall mad, Turbine!
