Crossfire Returns!

After a dose of Swine Flu Crossfire has returned - but with a vintage database alas. Last week Crossfire's hard drive crashed and burned taking the site down and leaving us with only a backup as of March 2009 to relaunch the site from. Though we will attempt to recover a more recent version the likelihood is the past 6 months of Crossfire’s life did not happen! Another side-effect of this crash is the loss of all users’ profile images.
We can only apologise for how long it’s taken us to get the problem fixed, we've certainly learned a lesson or two as a result of the past week’s events and will come back stronger from it! To get a more hands on setup we've moved Crossfire onto Heaven Media's servers where we can better control situations like this.
In the coming month we'll be confirming the worst kept secret ever which is CC7 and the usual, who what where and when of the next Crossfire LAN. Lastly I'd like to thank Fusen, Corin and Steve for their many hours spent on reincarnating Crossfire, without whom the site would still be dead!
If you do notice any additional bugs now the site is back online, please report them in this forum post.
Regards

sol's edit: If your account is banned and it shouldn't be, message an admin either here or in #crossfire, same goes for those of you who can't get your accounts working due to incorrect e-mail addresses or otherwise. If you're wondering whether we can restore your old profile, the answer is no, so please stop asking about this. We cannot restore lost data.

welcome back crossfire <3
No database since March=epic fail
It's just poor practice & slap in your users face. The amount of information they take their time to post here on a daily basis is rather large & should be taken care of. I've written columns & news posts here that have taken me hours to construct & sometimes days to gather information.
I'm not attacking anyone as I know the staff here go to great lengths to provide this service but this is a huge oversight. I know this is Tosspot's baby & I know how he feels about it & I gotta imagine he is livid at the loss of data. Just one of those things that you dont think about till it bites you in the ass.
wanna be my dady? :D
awesome.
whats the point in anything
be quick before google recaches :)
like this
and then hit the cached button
WorksForMe!

crossfire 4 LyFe Y0
But cc7 sounds nice
Good job bringing her back up.. I've missed her <3
also seychelles flag needs readding!
guess where it was.
welcome back CF, all the same !
The same goes for password retrieval which isnt working right now and we are aiming to fix asap.
Apologies for the ongoing issues, stick with us, we will solve them.
(as opposed to all those idiots...)
And here I was thinking their marketing sucked. Oh how they proved me wrong ;)!
(And i also think it was sokal's revenge our whine which now seems to have never existed! :d).
epic fail :D
and there wasn't a second HDD on which you could have stored monthly or weekly backups? :(((
Hope no uploaded the only copy of their movies here. Nice for it to be back though.
I think you should edit it to "If your account isn't banned and it should be pm and admin'
more useful
<3
although maybe get some backup servers coz march is a long time for the last backup
Crossfire is a forum where alot of people have fun. so its so fucked up when you lost data on your profile.
Make this a lesson!
MAKE MORE BACKUPS!
Every month orsomething then.

If you go to a community just to gather this kind of 'popularity' you should really reflect upon what you want from this life...

I'm pretty certain those in charge of the backup stuff did in fact learn their lesson as they stated. No need for all of us here stating the obvious :o)!
So what did you guys have for dinner?!
RIP
such pr0s....
and lesson learned?? lol ... you could write that in 1990... not now... this is not lesson learned, this just show how incapable u are at running a site. I thought that commercial shit u are running on banners would atleast buy you a raid5 field if not a daily backup machine, i guess that money flows somewhere else...
You're right though, you have to be the biggest fucking moron not to backup daily, and if you do create backups, dont just put them on the server HD...
Crossfire admins, its time to find someone with a brain to run this shit.
i think someone who didnt finish elementary school is ''running'' the site...
