Errr... What happened??

March 3, 2011

b"PLEASE UPLOAD TORRENTS! The categories have been created, and the tracker is tracking despite what it looks like! \r\n\r\nThe tracker is currently tracking OLD torrents so anything you had downloaded prior to 2/28/2011 should be ok still... also, the email validation error on registration has been resolved. PLEASE REGISTER!\r\n\r\nIf you were around over the weekend you might have noticed that there were problems galore with the site. \r\n\r\nThe truth is that for a while we've had some issues with the site, the code was out of date, the server was slow and sluggish and constantly under attack. In fact, not a week went by that we didn't discover one thing or another that was harming the site.\r\n\r\nWe'll we're in the process of moving the site. The database was large, unmanageable and full of users that haven't been active on the site in ages. Not to mention torrents that haven't been touched in ages as well.\r\n\r\nIf you hit this site now you're going to notice that there is very little here. Well, simply put, thats because the admin of the site is an id10t. -_- \r\n\r\nWhile working in three different remote sessions today across two servers, the mysql tables that held all the information for the old site were removed. We're in the process of scouring the drive to see if the data is there but in the mean time we're going to start clean.\r\n\r\nIF you're new to the site, you're not missing much. If you're not new to the site, here's your chance to start with a clean slate! The tracker is up and running. None of the old categories are there at the moment, but we'll be taking care of that shortly... :)\r\n\r\nIn the meantime, welcome to linuxtracker, its going to be a work in progress for a while as we reinstall the hacks we were using and we add back some of the old look and feel of the site.\r\n\r\n\r\nThanks,\r\n\r\nMark"
