Forum faithful: as many of you noted, we had a fairly major outage here today and had to take the forums offline earlier. Thankfully we're back after holding an 11 hour (!!) conference call on the matter. However, I do have some bad news here - in order to get things restored more expediently we had to make the call to drop all post activity since Saturday morning. So, if you submitted posts here on the forums Saturday, Sunday, or even earlier this morning ... my apologies, but you'll need to resubmit those thoughts. We should be back in good shape at this point, but please drop me a line at ForumAdmin@fender.com if you spot anything awry.

Give the NSA at Ft. Meade a call and ask them to run the forum's recent activities through their 'Echelon' protocols to find the cheese-dick who hacked us.

I demand satisfaction suh!

Glad to see the forum back up and running. I was getting withdrawal symptoms :D

Whoa!!! Just posted a similar thought to Brad via my FB page. Great minds and public paranoia go hand in hand, it appears. :wink:

I'm glad it's up and running, but I'm not impressed.

1: First, the forum went back to Nov 13. Which means snapshots/failovers are not done in a timely manner.
2: Then, the forum was partially unavailable for a long time, where whether you would get the site itself or a message saying it was down was arbitrary. Reload a couple of times, and you could still both browse and post (the latter means it wasn't just stale cached data).
3: Then late last night, I got error messages back from the server that disclosed database server information that should never be displayed in a browser.
4: Then, finally the forum was restored, but to a several days old backup.

Again, I'm glad it's back up and running, but I'm not particularly impressed with the readiness and response. Hopefully, the next time something happens, Fender will be better prepared to handle it.
