Info OUTAGE: autoshite.com showing default website template

[Slartibartfast]

Hi all,

 

Apologies for the prolonged outage. At approximately midday autoshite.com went offline. Shortly thereafter, my access to the server was removed. I can't tell you anything more than that.

 

As a result, I have restored the data from right up to the outage to our new server and here we are. Once the domain is updated, autoshite.com will point here and everyone can go about their business. The only person who can do that is Electric Leyland.

 

Please carry on posting here, everything from here will be moved to the permanent board unless something terrible goes wrong.

 

There may be links still pointing to autoshite.com - please let me know if you find them and I'll fix them as I can. I've already done all of the ones I could find except the three in the header, which I'll get to as soon as I find where they are defined.

 

All the best,

 

Slartibartfast

Thanks Slartibartfast. Working here.

[oldcars]

Good work. Was there issues or has a person removed your access from the server?

[Slartibartfast]

That is a most excellent question and one that I am unable to answer.

If, and i say if it was a person, that's bang out of order being on shitefest day.

No access through tapatalk.

Keep up the good work, I like this place.

[Slartibartfast]

Yes, sorry about Tapatalk, I suspect that won't start working again until autoshite.com is fixed.

[Twiggy]

Thank you for getting us back on - very much appreciated.

[gdhaydock]

All working pretty well from my end. Nice and responsive as well

[BorniteIdentity]

Oh wow.

 

If I'm proved right, and that's an IF, I think a few people have a bit of apologising to do. Not the sort that a kid does, but proper genuine heartfelt apologising.

 

I hope I'm wrong, that I'm too cynical for my own good and that this was just a complete coincidence.

 

We'll see. That is...if the transparency allows.

[mk2_craig]

Apart from a couple of icons invisible on Android phone, working just fine right here, seems swift too.

 

I see the speculation and suspicion as to root cause didn't take long

Pleased to not disappoint.

And that right there is ITDR in action. 

 

BTW, http://petsnwildlife.uk is still up, which one assumes is totes unrelated.

[Longblackcoat]

Post mortems come at the end. For the moment, well done to the team; good recovery!

[RustyNuts]

Wow.. whatever has happened, its good to know that there is a new team who have got the site back up on its feet again.

 

Well done!

[Captain Furious]

Nice work getting it back up after the deliberate takedown outage of unknown origins

 

Probably wasn't exactly how you'd planned the switchover but in a way it has expedited putting the whole hosting saga behind us

[Magnificent Rustbucket]

Thanks for the considerable amount of work done on this. I appreciate it.

What The Fuck?

[bub2006]

Congratulations with all the hard work behind the scenes. Really is appreciated.

[bub2006]

Call me out on this please as I hate to think bad of people but is there something a bit suspect going on? Bit of a coincidence with the bad blood flowing between people here but who am I to judge?

[Dave_Q]

Seems fairly obvious what has probably happened but there seems little point banging on about it extensively.

 

I'd like to also add my thanks to the admin types, not only for the smooth changeover but also all the work that's clearly gone in behind the scenes to make it so.

[AlabamaShrimp]

Fucking Chinese hackers and their love of chod!

 

 

Oh you say it's not the Chinese this time? Unknown circumstances you say? Good job I like pets and wildlife then, don't know what I would have done if that place had closed.

 

 

A proper thanks to all involved in trying to sort this and bring it back. I know it's not been easy or will be but we all appreciate it.

[fiatdaft]

Thanks to the team !

[clayts450]

Well done chaps - good backing up and thinking on your feet skills....

[Rod/b]

What's the beef, Dave/NotDave being a bit of a dick?

[trigger]

Thanks to the new admins and Electric Leyland for sorting this out for us.

[richardthestag]

thanks chaps for keeping my fucking support network alive

 

 

A life without autoshite is a deeply depressing life

[timolloyd]

+1 to the comments above. An outage of the .com address has only served to further boost your heroism in my eyes.

[doobietoo]

Is the mobile version new or have I just missed it all this time due to old age? It is most excellent. .. well done if is new...

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Well done to all involved in managing to source the Stomils at short notice and getting them fitted successfully. Just waiting for the wheels to be balanced now, but it's minor detail

Onwards and upwards!
