Reef Central is down for the count

[lastlight]

Revisit the site. We can't believe everything we read. I'm being optimistic.

Hello RC Members.

Sorry for the interruption. We'll be back in a little while, I need to check something.

To the folks spreading rumors and making up quotes, it's pretty sad when you have to resort to lying to try and get members.
Slander and libel are pretty serious things.
Cheers

You were right Brett, looks like they will be back up this morning.

Wow, I hope so...pretty sad for a site like reefbuilders to post something that wasn't true. I've always liked their articles before but now I'll be questioning everything they post.

EDIT: It seems Reefbuilders is apologizing for spreading rumours on their site now. Amazing how fast the Internet is at spreading information, true or un-true

The truth is that during an upgrade to mySQL we encountered an error that needed to be corrected. Unlike most sites, our database is very large and routine checks can take quite a long time to run. That's one of the reasons why we're one of the few sites that runs a full nightly backup. We'll be back this morning with virtually zero data loss. Sorry to disappoint the folks forging the emails.

So who is this supposed competitor to RC? Man, I'm so out of the loop these days.

Reef Central is back on-line

hahaha, yay! ... Except of course now I'm all RC'd out and am back on Canreef.

I didn't believe it for a second. Considering that RC is run by people who design in multiple failsafes for every system in their aquariums (who doesn't when you've got that much $$$ invested) why wouldn't they be just as prudent with the website.
