After 120 days, the Bolter and Chainsword is back online! Praise the Emperor!
This is what they had to say about their catastrophe:
"For those that don't know, the B&C server suffered a catastrophic melt down on Dec. 13th 2005. This wiped out the board AND our backups. We had to go to an old offsite backup up to recover as best as possible...this was from Sept. 7th 2005. SADLY THIS MEANS ANYONE WHO REGISTERED AFTER SEPT 7th 2005 WILL HAVE TO REREGISTER.The new server was rebuilt and ready to go the first week of January (we were still getting 8k hits to the server even after 3 months of being down). Unfortunately a configuration issue lead to the software not being able to be installed. The back and forth with the software folks resulted in 3 months of downtime until finally...this past weekend things were all good to go and we started reskinning.Good news is we now have TWO servers. One for the board (and our future plans) and one for backups. This will be in addition to monthly offsite back ups...just in case something like this should happen again."
The B&C is THE go-to source for all your WH40K Space Marine needs, and was sorely missed by those of us who paint those addictive little superhumans. Welcome back, B&C, welcome back.
