Domain expired

2009-04-28T18:26:00.001-07:00

KAF's domain recently expired, so many people cannot currently access KAF. If you can, consider yourself lucky. The domain is in the process of being renewed, so the site should be up by the end of the week.

During this time, if you can access KAF, you may find it a bit empty!

Down temporarily

2007-10-05T08:55:00.000-07:00

It does not seem as if any administrator is performing the database backup. The forums have been shutdown to maintain the database's consistency and to allow a backup to be performed.

More Downtime

2007-06-27T00:07:00.001-07:00

Although all the backups have been restored, the server still needs a lot of tweaking before it can run.

Update on Downtime

2007-06-26T01:03:00.000-07:00

We are down as a result of a swap of the old faulty hard drive with a new one. The main backup of the original hard drive's contents has been imported, but now we are awaiting the import of a more recent forum backup (last Wednesday). KAF may be up by tomorrow afternoon (PST), or at least so the website and not the forums.

Hard Drive Change

2007-06-22T13:57:00.001-07:00

KAF is down because a faulty hard-drive is being changed. This faulty hard drive has been the reason for 95% of the downtime in the past few weeks.

Server Upgrades

2007-05-14T20:25:00.000-07:00

KAF is down due to server upgrades.

KAF is Down!

2007-04-09T22:29:00.000-07:00

KAF has been down for a while. The file system check has frozen, and it has been running for a while. No expected date or time of return is available at the moment.

KAF is back up

2007-03-13T10:52:00.000-07:00

KAF is back up.

Reimport Update

2007-03-12T23:01:00.000-07:00

Import is 89% complete.

Import Update

2007-03-12T22:33:00.001-07:00

Import is 86% completed.

Reimport

2007-03-12T18:22:00.000-07:00

Regarding the downtime for the forums:

The backup reimport operation is 67% finished, and has been running for 10 hours. I cannot give an expected time until completion because the rate at which it inserts gradually slows at the operation progresses. Do not expect the forums to be up by the end of today, -0700.

Downtime

2007-03-11T17:56:00.001-07:00

The posts table corrupted. A backup will be imported within this week.

25 October Downtime

2006-10-26T23:41:00.000-07:00

While optimizing the tables in the database, it froze upon the posts table. As this was locking up the whole database server, the process had to be killed, resulting into the corruption of the table data. A one day backup is available and is being restored as soon as possible.

The site is down.

2006-09-17T21:36:00.000-07:00

Nothing more to say at the moment.

Posts table problem was fixed

2006-08-15T02:00:00.000-07:00

The posts table problem has been fixed with no significant loss.

Corrupted Posts Table

2006-08-14T00:23:00.000-07:00

The forums posts table has corrupted once again. If all goes well, which it does usually, a repair should fix about everything. If it does not, then we've got the Day of Infamy, rinse and repeat. The site and forums have been shut down to ensure file integrity.

We hope everything is up in a few days. The last forum backup occurred two days ago (and has been verified), and the forums were mostly down today, so nothing much should have been added.

We've been having trouble lately

2006-08-13T23:48:00.000-07:00

We've been experiencing some server trouble. We expect to be up in a day or two.

Remember to try Paintball! The server is concurrently still up.

Update on status

2006-04-26T19:44:00.000-07:00

Recovery operations will begin followed by the reinstallation of the server and its operating system. There is no expected date that we will be back up yet. Please visit the temporary forums (top right) in the mean time.

Current downtime status

2006-04-25T20:31:00.000-07:00

On a very unrelated operation, some non-KAF files were being moved from the old server when an important server file was overwritten and corrupted. As this was a vital file, the server went haywire and began its course of crash and failure, rinse and repeat. The current state of the server isn't bright; a reinstallation may even be required. If so, we'll recover what we can and return KAF as soon as possible. We have less than one day old backups from the initial crash in case we are unable to recover the database.
