Topic: GoDaddy is useless.

I broke the server, ironically, because I was doing disaster recovery stuff.

The good news: everything is fine.

The bad news: GoDaddy didn't even bother to check the server and just spun up a new one, breaking everything, and hijacking our domain. It took me about ~10 minutes to get everything figured out. We'll get friendsinyourhead pointed back here eventually. Use http://downinfront.net for now.

Server daddy breaks stuff, but server daddy fixes it.

"Most people don't even know what sysadmins do, but trust me, if they all took a lunch break at the same time they wouldn't make it to the deli before you ran out of bullets protecting your canned goods from roving bands of mutants."

Re: GoDaddy is useless.

I love thee, lurking God of the forum abyss. We are but humble creatures seeking thine continued protection from the evil forces of oblivion.

I'll reiterate what I said earlier on the Discord chat: let's find a better host that knows what a backup is, and see how much that would cost. I'm absolutely positive most of us community regulars would pitch in.

Re: GoDaddy is useless.

Our daddy who art in server,
Holden be thy name,
Thy problems come, thy fix be done
To FIYH as it is in DIF

Give us this day our daily server-side issue,
And forgive us our client-side issues,
As we forgive those who forget their password

And lead us not into Discord
But deliver us from GoDaddy

For thine is the admin,
the backend, and the forum
For until the next server outage
Amen

I don't know how I feel about this.

fiyh.com is back, though. Resume normal foruming.
