Even geduld gevraagd voor Bentrideronline
Helaas het amerikaanse Bentrideronline in de problemen geraakt. Er wordt gevraagd om geduld te hebben met de oplossing. De laatste backup is van 2004 en dat is dus lang geleden. We werken graag samen met Bentrider dus we zouden ze in ieder geval sterkte willen wensen. Er zijn eigenlijk al zo weinig goede bronnen met actueel nieuws (wel veel blogs en mailinglijsten met weinig onderscheid tussen belangrijke en onbelangrijke informatie). In het uitgebreide bericht hun uiting op de website. Wij hopen toch dat de initiatieven die relevante informatie bundelen met hun relatief beperkte mankracht toch de mogelijkheden blijven vinden te blijven bestaan.
We hopen dat de problemen van tijdelijke aard blijken te zijn. Maar we denken dat de donaties en reacties die er zijn gedaan voor de mensen van de site een aanleiding zijn toch door te zetten. Achter de schermen doen de redacties zoveel mogelijk om elkaar te helpen. We gaan er dan ook van uit dat onderstaand bericht onze lezers niet te veel verontrust.MAJOR PROBLEMS AT 'BENTRIDER!!!
Yes, we are aware of our numerous server issues. Our server host made a major error and we've lost gobs and gobs of data. In a perfect storm of incompetence, they also failed to back up our server since April of 2004. We have most of the data on our hard drives but it will be a major project to say the least. Right now we are being told that our old server was "decommissioned" and we are hoping that it will be found and "recommissioned" before all the data is lost. If that happens, life will return to normal in a few days. If we're too late to save it, then a major reconstruction will commence.
Please try to be aware that Stacie and I will be more than a bit occupied over the next few days and be patient. We're quite frankly a bit concerned about how much this will damage our livelihood at this point. If you send us an e-mail about the server odds are that it will not be answered. Our e-mail connectivity has also been affected. Please keep an eye on this space. We apologize for the inconvenience, especially in light of your recent generosity with our new donation-based fund raising system.
