...the owner of PH...

Hope he has a backup. Or I at least hope he puts the wiki back up. We wouldn't have to start from scratch because IA has a ~1 year old archive.

Hiya, I just noticed this topic here.

The message about data loss that macgeek417 found was from 2004, and many hosting services ago.
This time there was no loss of data. We have full backups of everything, the releases, the board and the wiki.
And just to clarify, I am not really the owner of Pocketheaven. exile90 started it, but last few years I have been doing the backend admin stuff he used to do, and Raffles has been updating the release lists.

But anyway, right now we're just scrambling to get the site back up again.

Quick update:

I have re-written 90% of the releases code and will be looking at the forum and wiki this week.

TBH - the forum we had was a very old version - so I may just install a new one (and start again)

. We'll see.


As for the wiki, I'm leaving that for Titney to decide - as I never had anything to do with it.

I'm still not sure when we will be back on-line for the 'public' - but we are certainly getting there

I strongly oppose any motion that would permanently delete any old posts. Yes the forum software could highly use an upgrade, but I really don't like the idea of "starting again" if that means cleaning everything out. There's a *lot* of useful info hidden in those old topics, and I've made use of them many many times.

That said though, glad to hear things are progressing. Hoping work continues smoothly.

That's a relief. I had thought it had something to do with legal action from Nintendo, like when Lik Sang got shut down and when a couple pages on PHWiki about GBA flash cards got OFFICE'd.

When nesdev.com moved from wwwThreads to phpBB 2, it left the old forum open but read-only. Would it be too much work to keep a read-only phpBB 2 open at the same time as a new forum based on phpBB 3 or the like? (But then nesdev.com is down too.)

Hi guys (and gals)

Make no mistake, if we have the old forum data I will keep it online in one state or another. The big question is "do we have the old data?". I know I don't - but, hopefully, Titney will have.

I have put up a new phpBB version for now.

Thanks again for all your messages of encouragement. Fingers crossed we'll be back very soon.

cheers
Raffles

Double post just to say that it's good news

Titney did, indeed, have all the original data - so both the forum and the wiki are in full swing. We just need to sort out the domain name pointing/hosting - then it's all systems go (again!).

Thanks to GBAtemp for letting me keep you all informed via. here

I don't see the point in restoring it at all, that place has been a ghost town for several years.

Why not merge with GBAtemp? The few people still clinging to PH seem like intelligent enough people, and that's something GBAtemp lacks. But this place has the volume of visitors that PH lacks. Put them together and you're better off.
