We're Back No.2
« on: October 02, 2025, 09:31:21 PM »
Evening All,

After 5 days we are finally back on line again

Been a bloody frustrating few days

Just like our outage back in June

Apologies, for it taking so long but was beyond our control. We were in the hands of our server hosts who weren't exactly rushing to get us back up and running.

TBBH, they couldn't work out what the problem was.

So again the site had to be completely reset and restored. It's been restored from around approx 3.45pm last Sunday (28/09/25).

So there is a chance some stuff may have disappeared again sorry but not much we can or could do

Special thanks to Mr OE/MT who had to the "pleasure" of dealing with our hosts. Thanks Mate!

Most important thing is we are back

Clearly alot has happened in  TigerLand the past few days. We will try to get all the news posted as soon as we can

Appreciate everyone's patience

WP

We're being hacked by people trying to infiltrate the forum for trade and draft strategies.

Perhaps Crawski will have to retire from posting to let the rest of us go on

 :banghead

Ask our incompetent server hosts  :banghead

Both Mr OE and I (but more so Mr OE) have been working on getting us back on line since the site went down

No one is more frustrated than we are but again it was beyond our control.

Good news is we're back.

Clearly a lot has happened in the last couple of days with new numbers etc. We will work to try and get everything up to date by later today.

Again thanks for peoples patience we appreciate it.

Regards,
Me OE & WP

I’m still convinced it has something to do with the AFLW sides performance, as previously suggested by WP

The site is becoming borderline unusable

I constantly get the following error

Don’t know how it works, but you need a new provider/host

Connection Problems

Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

Ditto.

Might be time to look for a new host instead of  :banghead every month

We are doing a lot of work behind the scenes that people obviously are not aware of.

It isn't as simple as "find a new host". Wish it was

We are doing the best and working as hard as we can to find a permanent solution

Will repeat again, no one is more frustrated than us.
