quote: Hi. Today one of our servers died (the one that houses our images and media files), and since the SPF is the least used out of all our servers, guess which one is being used as our backup?
Yup... SPF is dead until we get the other server replaced. The motherboard's scsi controller is dead, waranty is over, and since it's a proprietary compaq proliant piece of shit it'd cost $2700 just to replace the motherboard. I'll post an ETA here when I know what's going on, but it's probably going to be 1-2 weeks at least before we can get a new server. Basically I'm out of a few thousand bucks, and I'm pretty fucking pissed off. Nothing like waking up in the morning to someone telling you that you have to spend thousands and thousands of dollars because some fucking piece of your motherboard blew.
If you want to help out, which I'd really appreciate, please paypal me anything you can. Anyone that donates will get a custom title, and +500 added to their post count. Please send me your SPF user name with your donation. The more money I raise, the faster I can get this bitch back up. I'll keep you posted. For those of you that think this is a hoax or something stupid like that, do you really think I'd keep my sites down for 4+ hours?
Cost of a new server: (2U, Dual 1.13G cpus, 2G of ram, 6 x 36G 10,000 RPM SCSI drives) = $5480
Money raised so far: $25
