As we embark on a fresh install of the forums, as we have done several times in the history of this community, I would like to take some time to remember some of the events that have made this community unique. One such event that sticks out in my mind was the Great Server Flood of 2003. I have managed to dig up the original post made by John Lester explaining this incident, and the sudden, unannounced downtime that had left so many of us frantic, thinking BrainTalk had disappeared forever.
This is a excellent example of how BrainTalk Communities has grown and evolved over the years. With the latest improvements, we have a larger administrative staff, that are able to work remotely. Using a hosted Virtual Private Server (VPS), where the VPS servers do daily backups to "offline" servers in case the online servers have problems. If there's no quick fix, the offline server is brought online while they work on the broken one. This gives us our flood protection!
