Hi All,

It appears one of the main www servers (hideki) had a drive failure today and is thus non-operational.

I have requested a new drive to be put in the machine and it be reloaded. No data will be lost, since it's just a www server anyway.

However, any links directly to hideki.modthesims2.com will not work. I have removed hideki from the main www and forums pools, but it may take up to 24 hours for the DNS to fully propogate. So you might see blank pages / server timeouts / site cannot be found issues for a few days.

This will mean that the existing www servers will be overloaded, and thus a lot slower than usual. Please be patient

I will update this thread with more information when I get it - usually the hosting company are fairly quick with building machines, so hopefully everything will be sorted out by the end of the week.

Regards
Delphy

Now that explains a few things. I'll stop trying to fix my pc then.
LOL

Good to know. I was wondering why things were a bit slow.

lol, and I thought it was that my parent's internet connection was suckier than what my college budget could pay for!

Thanks, Delphy.

Thanks for letting us know, I think I shall actually play Sims instead of downloading stuff for them!!

Aimsxxx

Thank you for letting us know Delphy.

Thanks for all your hard work - even in your retirement.

hey, so the project proposal forum is back up? I haven't had time to check, but I'll do that now.

Thanks for the heads up.....

Thanks for the info!

Thank you "man-behind-the-scene"

Thanks for the info. I thought my pc was broken :P

pokedude9777 - This has nothing to do with Project Proposals. See here: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=278804

Guess this means I'll actually have time to play the game...

At first, I was having MAJOR withdrawals because I click around on MTS2 EVERY time I pass my computer. Then, I decided to go do something "purely" physical (like jog up and down the stadium styled steps at the local clinic). Trying to decide (as I rub my aching back) if this is a blessing in disguise from time to time!

I figured as much because every other site works. Good to know this though! Thanks for the info.

Thank you for the info, Delphi

Hum... I thought Chii was the persocom and Hideki was a human... lol lol lol... he must be ill... lol lol
Thanks so much for your help, Delphi!!! It`s quite nice to know we are still able to find you here eventually.

Thanks for the info, but this site is usually slow for me anyway, so it won't matter :P

Thanks for letting us know!

I wondered why the site kept timing out. I thought maybe we were getting extra traffic somehow. Thanks for letting us know.

Thank God I haven't called my ISP and complained to them LOL

Okay Hideki is now back online - hopefully it'll have minimal teething issues.

I've re-inserted it back into the pool, but it may take up to 24 hours for it to propogate fully.

Its running too fast!

That explains why it's slow for me... Thank you for your hard work!
