Formfonts down?
-
Hi guys,
I haven't been around for a while, but just to say that FF is back in business...kinda sorta.
The problem was with a faulty cooling fan on the server of the hosting company. It fried the hard drive...and the backup server went down too. Luckily we've been able to restore most of the site from our own backup. Unfortunately, backups of the the latest models don't seem to be around. Effectively this means anything more recent than p.14 of New models...about 270 in all. It's going to be a pain in the arse manually uploading all of these, but we'll try to get it done as quickly as possible.
Sorry for any inconvenience. -
Macker, We're going to be re-uploading the missing models in skp format only to begin with, most recent back to p. 14. If you need any particular missing model immediately, just let me know and I'll see if we can't jump the queue.

It's good to know you're still alive Alan
I was starting to wonder, not seeing your name on these forums for quite awhile, not like the 'old' days! -
You're not foolin' anyone Joe, you're not 1/10 as active as you used to be either!

Haha! What can I say? I've been a little busy lately...always nice to be missed though.
Looks like I'm going to be even busier for the next week or so, as I've got to manually reload several hundred models. Jeez! this is gonna be a boring start to the New Year. -
Good to see that things are working out Alan. If you feel the SketchUcation Community can help in any way please feel free to let us know. I am sure I speak for the vast majority here.

Thanks for the offer, Mike...very good of you. Unfortunately the only thing to do is for us modellers to go through the saved models on our own hard drives and (in my case) try to remember where on earth I squirreled everything away...which isn't always where I expect it to be.
We've upgraded our RAID level to make sure this never happens again. It's quite unbelieveable that the backup drive went down too. -
Still down for me, any idea when it will be up?

It was perfectly ok until a short while ago, Glenn. I've been uploading more stuff today. I'll find out what's going on when the guys in SoCal wake up. It may be just some temporary maintainance going on.

thanks, looks like it is back online.

I was going to say that the site might be down again for a few hours while the hosting company reconfigures the sparkly new back-up servers...but it looks like they may have already started.
