Incredible

I understand your frustration, but stuff like this happens. In the grand scheme of life, it's not a big deal. People make mistakes, even professional companies. There is no need to literally threaten a collective group of people like that. Even though you assume they won't see it. I removed it from your post for your own sake, because honestly that's going way too far. Threats should never be given in any capacity.

Agreed, I kinda lost it which is typical for me but should not be bluntly exposed like I did. Considering you're not the ones i'm mad at, I won't reply to this topic until there are updates (such as the new servers are up or the old ones come back online). Although, I'm not looking forward to spending another 100+ hours re-coding the MyBB forum. Ugh, this is gonna suck for me. 

Welcome to the JKHub. 

Funny. You never told me about that.

 

 

Hehe. Merek was certainly pissed at Hosting Beam. He was ranting and raving a lot of the time I was on Steam.

I still am pissed. At this point I am prepared to throw a brick at someone. This is fucking ridiculous, don't suppose HostingBeam took JKHub's money and ran? Cause why the fuck would they abandon all their customers? This is so fucking retarded, I was a fool not to backup my files last saturday and now I regret it. So much time, patience, and coffee wasted.

^ They are incredibly old versions.

Until the site goes back up, I've rehosted a bunch of the files on Dropbox. Built them today.

I also found some builds from July <-> September of 2011 xD

 

Server-side 0.2 (9/9/2011)

japp_0.1e-b2_internal.zip (15/7/2011)

japp_0.1e-b3_internal.zip (16/8/2011)

japp_0.1e-b4_internal.zip (20/8/2011)

japp_0.1e-b5_internal.zip (21/8/2011)

japp_0.1e-b6_internal.zip (23/8/2011)

 

I can not guarantee any sort of security or stability for these builds.

They certainly won't work on OpenJK, and they may try to query a non-functional site for the auto-update mechanism.

...but they might have bloom

 

The one I have is the best which is what I posted. I don't like the newer versions.

Starting a new FFA/TFFA map, entitled "Blood Bath"

Map is a 3 story layout, with a wide open base floor, and raised catwalk style second floor, as well as an underground bunker accessible via stairwells near each corner of the map.

Haven't begun texturing yet but I'm thinking a sort of industrial theme. suggested by the latticed catwalk support pillars.

Lots of metal, concrete and sand is what I'm thinking.

 

Play area of the "ground floor" is 3072x3072 with the underground extending out  to 1728 on both the north and south sides for an underground length of 3456 (width doesn't exceed the 1536 of the ground floor).

 

Working in caulk ATM, which is why I included the wireframe for reference.

Post more pics as I add stuff to break up the ground floor and as I add details.

 

Love the design, keep up the good work! 

How did you fix it? Last I knew, you were using it to blackmail me to work harder.

 

Even though I had clear and full access to the site via FTP before... *gestures helplessly around me* THIS happened.

I wasn't blackmailing you, at all and that's not even what happened. This is irrelevant to the conversation BTW (as it has nothing to do with downtime). I initiated the redirect to fix minor errors with the html. It was a simple cpanel redirect to the main index. The redirect was removed an hour after I finished, and later all you had to do was clear your cache and refresh. 

so won't the old server conflict with the new one? how does that work?

Okay. The backup from August should be fine, considering merek screwed up my HTML website so it redirects to the main index.

I fixed that, and that wasn't funny.

Also fine for you, but not for me. I'll wait to see if the old host comes back or not, and if not, we'll fix up the august update as best we can. I'm not happy about it but I guess it is fine. I'm not mad at JKHub or @@Caelum, I'm mad at HostingBeam, we all are.

@@Merek @ you guys seem to not understand. We have a backup from August. Did you delete your site and start completely from scratch since then? If not, your site will be restored to it's state in August. Nothing was lost except any changes or forum posts you made in September. So yes, Elliot, your site should be fine if we restore from our backup.

No, I didn't say anything at this point. We did not delete and start over, not again. We are still using MyBulletionBoard for the site. my good buddy (and long time friend) praetor elliot's html site should be fine. I have all the backup necessary for him not to worry about that. I made some drastic changes to the forum since august including a completely new interface and a few new additions with tons of images hosted (mostly stuff from jka) that I no longer have on my computer. The last backup i made predates the one you got. So let me repeat myself: I am perfectly fine with waiting. 

@@Merek if you want to wait for the small chance they will come back online, go for it. We can withhold your account until then if you'd like. Our backup of your site should contain all your cPanel settings you listed. Unless you made drastic changes and additions in between August 18th and now, your stuff is backed up and safe.

 

And no, they haven't been down this long. No professional web host would be down this long, at least without prior warning.

Please withhold my account until they come back online, too much data I don't want lost if there's a chance to recover it, I'll take it. Thank you. 

 

• PhoenixVPS aka VPSNodebox aka Hostingbeam is not a very stable company, to put it lightly. They've rebranded 3 times since JKHub has been with them, moved servers without prior notice, and had weeks of their own website being down in the past.
• The error at http://www.hostingbeam.com indicates the site was either (most likely) taken down deliberately, or due to incompetence. I find that level of incompetence hard to believe, so I'm going to go with the theory that they deliberately pointed their DNS servers to a local IP, instead of a web server
• The email address listed as owner of the domain no longer exists
• This thread: http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/33073/no-response-from-phoenixvps-hostingbeam
• The fact that their server has now been down for a longer time than any web host should be down no matter the technical issues - in this time, faulty server components could've easily been replaced, the operating system could've easily been reinstalled, and any issues taken care of, basically.

 

so is that bad? I mean have they ever been down this long?

It's possible this is a case of maintenance gone horribly awry on their end (like, server harddrive failure or something), but a fair amount of evidence points towards that not being the case. The most likely scenario at this point is the host simply shut down without notifying any customers, but again, I don't know what's going on either, I'm just speculating here.

Hey, we are all speculating at this point. BTW, What evidence?

Like, DDoSed? Yeah, impossible, that's definitely not what happened.

Just a thought, but yeah know maybe when they were doing maintenance? 

is is possible they were attacked? 

Basically, it will take a few days to prepare my new webserver and get everything ready for JKH hosted sites. In that time, one of two things can happen:

-PhoenixVPS will get back online. If this is the case, there won't be any data loss, since I can move all current files and databases and stuff.

-PhoenixVPS will not get back online. In this case, all I can move over is whatever backups JKH staff have, meaning your site will be reverted to whatever it was in August (i.e. Circa's most recent backup)

 

At this point all anyone can really do is wait and see

I hope option #1 is where its at. At the most, we can't wait at least a month to see if they'll come back online, but by then you know there not coming back online.

Thanks for the bit of info fam. jkhub and Cael will get us back online - true professionals on the job. I'm not too concerned if you have to go with older backups, I can fill in the gaps on my end where needed. Thank you once again for keeping us informed!

Yes, but I assume you don't store data like I do, or continuously make updates to a forum either. Anyways, the only concern I have is keeping all my cpanel settings + email + databases + well everything I had on the 3 day-ago-working hosting. Can someone elaborate on that? thanks.

Hey what happens if you move our hosted sites to your server BEFORE they get it back online? Will I lose access to get my files off the original hosted location? There's too much I would lose. TOO Much. Actually I would lose about 99.8% of everything i did. Not gonna flare up at JKHub or @@Caelum for this, considering they are the the people I put my life on in this kinda situation.

Getting there folks! I knew you wouldn't let JKHub down (and neither will I, next year I might be able to donate, MIGHT hopefully)

That post is over a year old. No need to get mad about repeat complaints when it really isn't one.

 

Also, TFU is not canon. Rebels is. Nobody complains about it anymore anyway.

Oops... wasn't paying attention to the posted date. My bad.

I was thinking that JKHub could really use an Affiliates System and a link back to jkhub. JK3Files did it, so why not us? (I am aware of the JKHub bar)

Your inbox is appears to be full, I usually delete the unimportant stuff and archive the important stuff.

I did see this...not impressed. I hate teasers that don't tease lol.

 

 

Please no. Forget TFU and erase it from the archives. Please. I beg you Disney. Redemption!

Hating on TFU eh? Well, look at it this way: Star Wars Rebels is another way of fucking up the story like TFU.

.

It's the exact port that's been sent around for awhile now. Nothing new here, except the minor changes you made I guess. I recommend stating that the model is not made by yourself, but is a port that was also ported by someone else. 

 

And this won't be approved to be hosted here, FYI.

don't feel bad @, this particular is quite popular in jka since I use this particular port myself
