Site Status

[tripredacus]

Please refrain from adding new entries or submitting edits to items until the site has returned to normal. We will not be looking at any edits that are submitted until then.

The forum is working, as well as being able to add or remove items from your collection or lists.

Exporting you collection, wish list or sell list to CSV also works.

Thanks for this. I was able to get my CSV!

It's disappointing that there isn't more transparency with regard to what is going on. I am starting to look at alternatives

[tripredacus]

I want to note that the CSV is only formatted for this site. It will not work if you import it to another site, nor will another site's CSV import into this one. But you can still use it in Excel, Google Sheets or any other program that supports CSV.

Is this in regards to the outage? I havent been able to access the site for 2 days now and theirs others on Twitter "X" commenting this as well.

Thought this site was gone for a sec.

glad it's back, hope stuff gets fixed soon.

[retromangia]

Glad the site is back up. Can we have an update on what happened, were we hacked? Was any data lost?

Thanks,

Jason posted on Facebook, and I posted on X. Jason has access to the site account on X but I think he is just focusing on facebook.

You can follow me on X but I'm likely to post on the forum since it is working.

I do not know the extent of the issue exactly. The database itself is fine as you can see, there doesn't seem to be any data loss that I can tell. The read status on the forum wasn't reset so I think the data is fine. Viewing of large collections on the main site is restored. I do not know about the status of the images, I should be able to know more tomorrow.

If anyone reading is one of the many who don't use Twitter for whatever reason, I will also mention XCancel which allows tweets to be viewed without having an account.

Did the site get attacked or did something go sidewise on the back end? Not that anything too personal is on here, but was any user data compromised from whatever (or whoever caused) the outage?


I was worried whoever owns the site finally pulled the plug on it since it was down all weekend.

nother thing I got aware of is other lists like "finished" and "backlog" disappeared ... sad, cause I used them a lot 

AND I saw another post about game images not being loaded correctly ...

those are the only impressions of stuff not working for now. .. everything else seems normal to me.


Hope you guys get to fix that issues soon, best of luck!!

Backlog lists are still being shown and are still readily accessible through the navigation bar using the More Lists drop-down selection, although the Finished list function seems to be gone, at the moment.

Thanks for pointing out

[tripredacus]

Images are slowly being returned. Let's hope for a better working site by tomorrow.

Though this message will likely be unseen from those whom it's directed to, there has been no indication from admins to resume database activity. Although the site has (mostly) returned to normal from the public view, the database itself has not been fully repaired with full functions returning. Edit submissions continue to be sent and new entries continue to be created despite this. The edit queue is still not being responded to either, so submissions will remain there until stated otherwise.
