Hmm.. Halomods...

[Tural]

Random thought.
A while back HM had a fairly significant outage, where it was down for several days. When prompting Iron_Forge, he directed me to an article explaining it. Halomods' current hosting provider, The Planet, had an explosion in their building. After watching many hours of the repetitive coverage of hurricane Ike, and watching as it intensified, I had a thought occur. I went back to the aforementioned article, because I was sure the host was based in Texas somewhere, where the hurricane has made landfall. There's a lot of power outages and flooding in Houston, where The Planet is located. Other sites, such as Rooster Teeth, have made specific news posts about potential issues with their Houston servers. Supermodder has just alerted me to an issue with the board, and in the minute or two between receiving his PM and attempting to post a message in C&S stating that we were aware of the issue, to deter people from posting about it a bunch, the server went into its "Critical error" state we are all familiar with. For once (Or rather, twice now), I think there's a legitimate cause for the site being down, and potentially one that could keep the site down for a long time, and possibly cause permanent data loss.

tl;dr: Halomods server probably hit by hurricane. This concludes my random thought thread.

Your thoughts are usually right arent they?

[Gary]

his random thoughts or much more intelligent then many other people's.

And sorry to here that about halomods, it has gone though alot and how its getting hit my a hurricane, i know that there was a hurricane in Texas as well, because this effects my internet speed and uptime, because of where i live, i must use satellite internet, and the ISP is in Texas...

what did you do?
you double post or something?

[Grimdoomer]

So this could possibly be the end of HaloMods?

Doesnt any one make dumps of the database on a regular basis? Or atleast every once in a while?

they should, it would be a big database wouldn't it? all those members/posts/topics

[Tural]

Admins are largely inactive.
Also, I never said there would be data lost. The likelihood of that is very remote.

[Gary]

you should be an Admin, your probably the most active staff member there.

[Remnant Samurai]

Sorry to go off topic about it but i was repeatedly making new accounts when i got banned i regret doing it.

Sucks even if it does go down all that information might be lost...

[Dragonfire]

The only info im afraid of being lost is the halo 2 tuts, anyone wanna maybe ban together and help transfer them to here in case it does go down?

We'd have to wait for the server to come back up for that.

Or we could transfer here, either way.

I come on here about 5 times a day, but i havent visited HM for the past 4 mths or more, whats the point?

[DemonicSandwich]

Like it or not, Halomods is still the center of most of Halo 2 modding because of what RaZoR73 and Dragonfire pointed out.
It has a huge wealth of information and tools.

I'm sure we can all work together and just transfer the topics to here for now just using the quote system

Many things we may have to the creators of the topic, many people, even if credit have been given, are very tight about people re-posting there topics.

And Maybe if we become large enough, we can become the next halomods... but we wont fall apart, still it took them about 5 years to do so.

Yeah well we won't miss people like Tural and Veegie, but tutorials, tools and mods at halomods is something that should be backed up ^^

Exactly

Im sure the topic posters wont mind if we try to preserve their topics, its not like we're spamming them through the net

[Click16]

Who wants to start copying and pasting! (Again use the quote system like he said)

Im going to move my awesome H1 Pistol tut here! (I think it would help new modders)

[Aumaan Anubis]

HaloMods is back up.

[Dragonfire]

Ok, since im bored, ill just do tut transfer all day

Ill just put them all in Tut Sub, u guys (admin/mod) can do with as u please.

[Aumaan Anubis]
