(Cross-post from Dwarven Forge Forums) We had a pretty spectacular hardware failure on the server that hosts TrueDungeon.com. First the hosting provider thought it was a problem with the hard drive and after installing a new drive and copying all the data over they discovered it was actually a problem with the server's drive controller. We are on a new server now with a new drive and thanks to good daily backups and though our provider's great work we didn't loose any data since the last backup that happened a few hours before the crash. In fact we were able to recover this forums data from the drive instead of the backup so there should be no messages lost. The sad but funny part is that we were planning to move this site to a provider that hosts sites on clusters of computers to avoid downtime from hardware problems. That move was going to happen next week. Its now going to happen this weekend.

When I got it fixed, I saw TD was down, and I thought I did something to it! Glad to be back in touch with the TD community!<br /><br />Brian<br /> Follow me on Instagram @runningboardgamer Awesome avatar by Mauve Shirt!

Noel Tiglao Offline 8^th Level Wizard Posts: 533	Yeah I had no means of contacting anyone coz the only email I knew of the site was all through the truedungeon.com site. Noel<br />of Clan Smakdown<br /><br />With left hand firmly covering my eyes, a peal of thunder clapped from my wand as arcs of lightning cascade blindly from the tip. I peek to see the Medusa dead from the blast slowly turning to dust herself.
