Hey guys. It's about 6:15pm Server time on December 6th for reference. Robo has the new box installed, so now ALL of the hardware has been replaced. He's putting out a desperate call for people to get online so we can test the server. I'll have a ship online whether I'm here or not, but I'm planning on setting up my new blood dragon.  Come one, come all. Let's get online!!! TGK |

Ok folks. I need to ask a favor. Right now [AVA]-Dragon and I are trying to each keep a ship floating afk 24/7 (when we're not playing at least) to keep the numbers up on FLU so Robo can test the server. I'm not asking you to go to that length, but could you share some extra clock cycles?
Just load FL, log on to FLU, type /afk and minimize or walk away. If we can get more than 15 people on, then we can truly see if the crashing bug has been killed.
Thanks for your support,
TGK

Kurile has made an offer:
If on Saturday, they can get 20 players online, he'll give each of them 10 million in credits AFTER the restore of the database.
A question has been raise as to whether this will work for multiple accounts--and not by me for once. lol No answer yet, but all you have to do is stick a ship online for 10 mil later on. Seems worth it to me.

Yo, i had a ship in there last night just to help you guys out. I went up from manhatten. The thing is, when i checked it this morning, obviously the connection was reset (which was fine), but i was only 30k from the planet. Is it detecting the idle, or was it just my luck that it reset when i went to bed  Edit: Scrap that lol. I never been so far away from a sun before over 700k. Sooo small lol. Leaving it on. Btw, if any of you play Archys and are worried about the mod switching. All you have to do is deactivate the discovery and run the sdk, before re-activating FLU. Even though I might not be on FLU much anymore, I do want FL to live, in all it's forms. Peace |

Just talked with Admin-Tim and the old database is going to be installed
TODAY at some point. Not sure exactly which one it will be.

According to the latest post, it will be the September 7th backup.
It was all a bad dream... ;D
Not to worry if you've got new ships you want to keep either. Robo is accepting requests to have the new ones brought over as well.

It has been done, still have to check all accounts out to see what
state things are in. Hope this is the last of the resets.

I just spoke to Robo, and the restore is complete. Not all of my ships made it back, but he said to make a list, make the new ships where I'd like them to be, and he would manually restore them.
He's very appreciative of our loyalty to FLU through all of this. I expressed our appreication back to him for his unbelieveable efforts to get it rolling.
It may still choke once in a while, but mostly everything is back on line, and you don't have to worry about any more wipes.
Also, we don't need to leave ships running anymore: It's all good. ;D

HOLD EVERYTHING
I just noticed a post by Kurile that says they are going
back to JULY DB so no reason to restore anyones
characters yet. If this is true then I dont know WTH
is going to happen to FLU.

As of my post, Robo said it was good, and I've still got my September ships--know how I know? Blood Dragon instead of Defender Elite. ;D
There are some missing, so this will prove an excellent test.
I'm about to request Aussau[LT], [Sent]-EarnestEvans-[De], Max-a-Million[LT], Proper_Precautions, [Sent]-For_Repairs[Rx], [Sent]-Go_Steelers (The boys have played like CRAP since it's gone) and Phill's ship, which I need to double check the spelling on. If they restore them, cool. If they say no, I'll let you guys know immediatley or soon after.
Incidently, Aus[LT] is fine, along with the 220 or so mil that was there in September.
As for any other missing AT2s, I'll be rebuilding them manually since there are still 10 mil eagles for sale, and I don't think any of the other ships had a significant amount of cash on them.
Added: Request has been sent--pardon the pun. XD
Oh btw, for RP/sentimental purposes, I'm going to make a bunch of [bass] taged ships while the eagles are still free--including some [bass]-The_BLACK_Knight ships just to have.
Sometimes, I just gotta be me. XD
This in no way signifies any reduced attention to Sent. They're not going to fly a lot, I just want ta have em.
Actually, I feel really good about Sent's position right now. We're seeing a lot of interest, a lot of people are returning, and we've got another new recruit! (HI SKIFREE!!!!)
Good times, my friends. Good times!

HeHe it seems Kurile didnt know the DB had been set back to Sept.
Question: How do you know when there have been many,many DB resets?
Answer: When even the Admins dont know which DB is in place lol

If this is true then I dont know WTH is going to happen to FLU. When I read that my immediate reaction was, "Doh! It's me!!!" Everytime I rebuild a few ships and get some flying time the database gets reset. Oh, well, good to hear it was just a mistake  |

Aw well the startup EAGLES are gone, back to the normal StarFlea.
Hope you all got a few eagles while they were there.
