After 200 games,
Lettres qu'on pétrit have got down in Blackbox history as one of the few fragile team to reach the mark.
Christer and I got together this morning and hashed out the migration to FFB for the [S]tunty leeg...and the switch has been flipped...
All [S] teams are now in FFB...
After more or less 16 hours of work, the site is now back up again. Web server hardware has been replaced and the OS has been reinstalled.
It's currently 4am and I am going to head off to sleep, even though I am aware of a few problems that are still there.
I would appreciate it if you guys could test things out on the site and report any strange problems to me in the comments to this news posting. I'll take a look at it tomorrow once I manage to get some sleep.
Thank you for your patience, and thank you again for the generous donations that made the hardware replacement possible.
As of this morning, the FUMBBL web server has started to act up in a way that implies that the motherboard is on its death bed. This means that I will have to do a hardware replacement for it. Now, the problem is that the hardware is aging and it's tricky to find a new one so I will need to buy a new motherboard, a new CPU and new memory.
This will add up to roughly US$550, and I am therefore asking for donations to help me cover this cost.
Unfortunately, until this has been resolved, the site will remain unstable and possibly even be inaccessable entirely if the computer starts booting up at all (it's already requiring multiple power cycles to boot up). The IRC server is running along just fine though, and you can get more information in there.
If you wish to help out funding this upgrade, please click the "Support FUMBBL" icon in the top right corner of the site.
I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the instability.
