Are they using cheap illegal alien labor?

I just had to ask. You know, republican, conservative, capitalists getting rich off the labor of the masses blah, blah, blah, etc.. :-)

As I remember the last time their server went down this
long it was because the Host company didn't do any P.M. and the
fans were clogged with dust kittys and the heat smoked it .
They were supposed to ported to a new more modern server but who knows what they are on now .

Are they washing off the stains left by the ronbots?  That could take some time.

If all this was planned, as the posts makes it sound, why was it not announced so the members would be aware of the downtime and maybe get excited about the changes?  To just disappear unannouced on a Friday afternoon seems sort of cheesy and now seems plain dishonest.

CU has had crashes almost every year, which explains why there are no posts before 2005. I remember CU was down in 2005 and they had a temporary forum for a couple weeks and was restored with a clean slate.

I'm with you Rebel...I think this is some sort of epic disaster for them, and they are attempting to hang onto their members...or at least what's left of them.....

We have two mirrored SATA drives. If a drive fails, the other one has all the information needed. We also have a 3rd SATA drive sitting in the 3rd bay of the server. I couldn't connect it because I only had two SATA connections. I could have connected it via IDE and gone with a better RAID, but what we have is sufficient. One drive dies, the other keeps working. The spare is used to replace the dead drive and we copy all information over to the new drive. They trash the bad drive and I send'em a new one to put into the spare slot. A drive failure wouldn't bring us down. A SATA controller, yes, but it damn sure wouldn't take 6 days.

Oh, and I still have my account at Dreamhost and Go Daddy. Our server fails, we do a temp move back to the old host until the problem is resolved.

Ain't it somethin' how this discussion can go on here? I'm sure should such a thing happen here we would be welcome to have the same discussion there.  :hyper: :innocent:

I know next to nothing about web hosting servers, but what you describe is exactly the way my video server RAID works.....I have ten 73.6 Gb drives, and if one fails, I simply unplug it and hot-swap a new drive in....takes the system about 30 minutes to configure and load the new drive, but the process is invisible to the output.....

Sounds like you have a SCSI system. We went the cheap way and used SATA drives. SCSI controllers aren't cheap. ..but yeah, works about the same.    :-)

We have two drives doing exactly the same thing. One dies, the other still works. We remove the dead drive and replace it with the spare. Bring it online and everything from the working drive should copy over to the new drive. Then I replace the dead drive with a new one, to be put back into the spare slot. If the controller goes bad, that controls the, well, we'll say "bus", then we'll move to Dreamhost or Go Daddy until we get the server back up and running. Keep in mind, SATA controllers don't just go out. We'll probably replace the server before that happens.

Oh, and we download backups for both sites on a daily basis.

It could also be a major hardware problem requiring a move to another server and while downloading the software they also decided to go with
an new release/update.

Those latest and greatest software updates and new releases are always last to be loaded when up and running.

Let me explain it to you.  The main bone's connected to the spare bone.  The spare bone's connected to the main bone.  Both bones' connected to the control bone.  And it all goes round 'n round.

They're not SCSI drives. 73Gb is a standard SCSI drive. You're either running an IDE or a SATA.

I'm still wondering if the redesign will include a member purge and a new name.
"DayThreadsRUs.com"?
"We B TOTD's"?
"WellAboutThreeOfUsAreReallyConservativesUnderground"?
They will keep the members files in hopes that some will return.The Gator/bans most likely will remain in force.

Gator must have been given the boot until things cool off for a while.
I occasionally read his posts at NU and DU and he still likes to stir the S*it with his enemies,those who disagree with him !

My condolences to your younger brother.A lifetime of frustrations must be his lot with you.This discourse is begining to read like the Screwtape letters but it seems to fit the situation !But being unsure of your abilitys I will enclose a small reference :

The Screwtape Letters....aka The Lord Undies Letters

The Screwtape Letters is a work of Christian satire by C. S. Lewis first published in book form in 1942. The story takes the form of a series of letters from a senior demon, Screwtape, to his nephew, a junior tempter named Wormwood, so as to advise him on methods of securing the damnation of an earthly man, known only as "the Patient."

Screwtape (along with his trusted scribe Toadpipe) holds an administrative post in the bureaucracy ("Lowerarchy") of Hell, and acts more as a mentor than a supervisor to Wormwood, the inexperienced tempter; almost every letter ends with the signature, "You affectionate uncle, Screwtape." In the body of the thirty-one letters which make up the book, Screwtape gives Wormwood detailed advice on various methods of undermining faith and promoting sin in his Patient, interspersed with observations on human nature and Christian doctrine.

I always thought The Screwtape Letters was Lewis' attempt to ripoff Dickens.  Maybe that is because I read The Screwtape Letters and Great Expectations in the same week.

I never did get around to reading "Screwtape Proposes a Toast".  I should put that on my list of small things to do.

CU has had crashes almost every year, which explains why there are no posts before 2005. I remember CU was down in 2005 and they had a temporary forum for a couple weeks and was restored with a clean slate.

Nice to know someone over there knows what a f'n backup is.  :uhsure:

I'll be thrilled if all traces of Demonic Underwear is gone forever. 


I too will be happy to see that ass Airwolf removed from CU............Oh Wait a minute.

If all this was planned, as the posts makes it sound, why was it not announced so the members would be aware of the downtime and maybe get excited about the changes?  To just disappear unannouced on a Friday afternoon seems sort of cheesy and now seems plain dishonest.

As someone with a footprint in each location, I felt a little out of the loop when it went black. And I had a flash of deja vu, since I had also recently been with PU, a non-returner.

Truth is, to this debate between Moo and Undies, they're both correct.

Undies is correct in that it wasn't planned.

Moo is correct in that, if it's already down, might as well upgrade.

Now, where I'm thinking you're missing Undies point, Moo, is that it wasn't planned, yet they're making it seem like it was. No way in hell was this crash planned. That is piss-poor planning on their part.

I agree with the evil one, the update wasn't planned and I didn't read that into the posted site statement .

They are trying to make the best of a crappie situation for them that is but from a rational position I don't understand how they could be faulted for a system crash or for piss poor planning.

The servers are in South Carolina or were, unless they they have a new hosting company, and the administartor is in Florida or are you alluding to the fact that they didn't plan for a backup host system like you did ?

As I read the two post crash statements "currently under a total re-construction."and the second " a whole new look and some GREAT new features "it sounds like there was an unplanned system crash and a new software install, ipso facto or as by the deed itself !

Uh, yah. Our server is in Miami. Our two Admins with the ability to do anything about any catastrophic failure are in Augusta, Ga. and Charleston, SC. We have backup plans out the ass. WE, being a director of IT, and me being a defense contractor working and dealing with COOPs, implementation plans, and disaster recovery, knew damn WELL we needed to have a backup in place. We have it. You like posting a lot of shit, do you not read? It's all in THIS thread.

It looks like they went down for a new software update,this sounds like SARA's post  !

05/06/08: Update! Thing are going great on the site. I’m really excited about the reopening. The site is going to have a whole new look and some GREAT new features. I think everyone is going to be pleased.



just sounds like a redesign to me.. with the main guy having a full time job, it takes time. he isnt paid to run CU..

and dont forget; Rob is a one man show basically and he does have a family and a full time job that takes up most of his time.

if he got notice that the server went down, he may not have had that exact moment to respond. he could have been in a meeting and let SR take it offline and post a message to give himself some time to get things smoothed out again.

i seriously doubt he or anyone else is trying to be dishonest .. i think its a time issue; he just doesnt have enough hours in the day to do it.

Probably another aspect in piss-poor planning. Having no one there that can step up when you're gone. I have a family and a full-time job as well.

Like I said, there is no excuse for this and to play it off as "planned" is dishonest to say the least. Maybe instead of promoting that ****ing idiot Gator to be an Admin, he should have chose someone with a little IT experience.

yeah, it definitely shouldnt have been a surprise and servers are not all that difficult to maintain unless they are paying next to nothing to some kid in college who doesnt really have the money to operate ..

my personal opinion is that they are scrubbing the site of all the stupid bullshit that has caused the biggest rips in the membership. after it crashed... after which they decided "it crashed, so lets go ahead and upgrade now and clean it up of the stupid bullshit that ripped up the membership" .. :-)

To what end?  I don't see why it would matter.  As long as they continue to allow the pseudo-conservatives and left-leaning moderates post there, they'll just replace their old worthless opinions with new worthless opinions.  Anything short of banning them won't ever work.

At this point, I just don't see going back or the site doing much.  After 4 years reading different conservative sites (only participating on one), there's only so many posters out there to go around these smaller conservative sites.  Face it, we all pretty much know each other.  And the bulk of the real conservatives left there are now here.   I couldn't have been the only poster here who warned Rob and others that they needed to get a handle on the situtation before people started seeking alternatives.  And that was before the Ronbot invasion during which I was busy working and missed it.

well, in an election season its easy to pick up lots of new members.. so CU could ostensibly revive itself. gator seems to have been sidelined by somebody, so the newbies don't/won't really know what he's about. gator was probably the most offensive member they had and they can right the ship and even grow if he stays muzzled.

i didnt really pay attention to the ronbots, but i would imagine they dont have much to say about their candidate anymore .. every site evolves, its just the nature of the internet.

I see. So in order to be a member of CC, I have to trash CU.I wont do that, and as has been said by me many times, I dont see why we both cant get along.

I forget nothing, Rebel. So i seem to recall, my "face" was welcome almost anywhere. Or is it because I wont buy into the feud? I want both to do well.

Why is that wrong?

Agree with Rob and sonna all you have done is prove why the issues came up with your dual modship. We have two other dual mods who don't have the need(nor are they required as is your implication) to either trash CU OR defend the distressed damsel that is CU.  Just give it up. We all know you love CU and will defend her honor to the death. We get it.  :whatever: By the same token, others are entitled to think the place is crap. It seems like a lot of wasted time on your part to keep injecting yourself into this since there will always be someone unhappy with one forum or another.

DU seems to be unreachable at this time.  Maybe they were hacked.


that's the ticket! Rob has been spending his time *hacking* into DU to crash it .. and so, he hasnt had any extra time to get CU back up.

Maybe they're both owned by the same company.  :fuelfire:

Agreed jty. We have several members who belong to both boards and post at both with ease. I don't understand why that's so hard. If CU is everything that sonna believes it to be, then it will stand on it's own merit and require no defense. People are free to make up their minds and to post wherever they please. Membership at CC is optional and you are not required to badmouth CU or relinquish your membership there. Although it would be appreciated if CC'ers focused on posting topics unrelated to CU. I'm not suggesting censoring anything, having updates and letting people know what's going on is fine. But "my board is better than your board" stuff or revisionist history? Nope. Not cool.

It actually does CU more harm then good. If a person really cared about the place, I think they would just remain quiet....rather then get into some long drawn out banter about it....this shit has been going on for two weeks....on top of the fact that the DUmmies love seeing this stuff.....

Amen.  What's done is done.  I was there longer than most everyone here (joined Jan., 2004), but the site is what it has become, and I'm here now with the cream of the crop (minus a few I'll miss) of what was there.  That's good enough for me.

I do not need to be, or want to be in the middle of a board war....life is simply too short. Often I post online to escape real world drama and do not care to be in the middle of electronic drama as well.

If anyone things for a minute that there has not been people at CU asking folks to pick sides.....then I have some land for sale....

Enough said.

i agree with you but can i add a small caveat?

drama that happens organically should be left to be played out til the discussion is over. just my opinion.

trying to shut it down pisses people off and they leave and go start another board.. we've all seen that multiple times. so, other than manufactured BS like Gator was into, if a fight erupts can we just let it play out and die? my only gripe is when threads get locked down... conversations will play out naturally and eventually die.

its when they get shut down that they never come to a conclusion.. and keep erupting, usually on other boards.

Damn.

As Wretched Excess said somewhere before, there's no joy in a conservative web-site being down, even if one isn't a member.  This is an election year, and we need as many of those the internet can accomodate.

May 10,2008, 09:46 PM

I talked to Rob tonight.

The problem with the site being down was caused by the hard drive crashing on his server.

Rob has fixed the server and it is running fine now.

Now that everything is down Rob wants to take the opportunity to make some much needed improvements and updates to the site. He told me some of the improvements/additions and they are neat. I think you will be impressed.

There will be a week's delay in getting the site going because Rob had scheduled a much needed vacation with his family to Florida. He will be in Orlando and Clearwater this week and will not be able to work on the site until he gets back to Atlanta next weekend.. I hope to get together with him in Tampa later on in the week.

He said to be patient because it will be worth it. I have seen the site improvements under construction and I think everybody will like the new look. It will be a completely different look. You will really like the additional features. I can't tell you what they are now because Rob wants to test them out and make sure they work.

His best estimate for start up in next Sunday night. In the meantime I will continue to spread moral clarity to my good friends on NU (both of them).

I remember the Fina Stations (they sold gasoline) had a big banner at all their location which proclaimed "Pink Air Coming In '66".  They were suppose to be formulating some sort of dyed air drivers could put in their tires.  This pink air would make detecting holes and leaks a snap. 

Forty-two years later and we still don't have pink air to pump in our tires.  They did, however, give us mutilated animal parts (tiger tails) to swing from our gas caps.

Well, I wish Rob would get the Damn thing back online so you people who come here JUST to get your fix, and nothing other, can head your asses back to CU. I'm all for welcoming new members, but don't come here talking UP CU and telling us how CU is this and that and then giving us updates ON CU.

Hey, we don't GIVE a ****. We have our OWN Damn site. I.e., NO ONE GIVES A RAT'S ASS ABOUT CU BUT YOU!

This was my and is my primary site.  I just checked in there from time to time, mostly when I exhausted all the topics here.

But with it being down so long, I suspect it has permanently lost a LOT of members.  Like me.

We can start a "day thread" so twitch, twitchy and their pals can feel more at home....

Today, I plan to wear a pair of black tennis shoes and I think I'll wash my hair.

How about you all?

I plan to blow my nose at least once today and then scratch my crotch. What are the rest of you doing?

I'm glad I stumbled on to this thread.  I thought CU was gone forever this time.  I know some here have moved on completely from CU, but it was my first MB community, and I would hate to see it ended. 

I'm looking forward to the re-opening.  CU use to be a lot of fun, here's hoping for a return to that.

Sorry.  Guess I should have read the whole thread before posting.  I didn't realize there was so much animosity between the two sites.  

I apologize,  Won't happen again.

No apology is necessary, Peri. There are those of us who like both sites and that is OK.

The Hatfields and the McCoys are amateurs compared to CC and the Gator-gone-mad folks at CU.
I feel kind of sorry for the few good folks left over there. As it is now, there are several lefties that run the site and it sucks. It has lost its truly Conservative class.

That's cool ya'll,  I know not to take anything posted on the internets too seriously.

I like CC & CU,  actually I thought CC was gone too.   :(  I couldn't get in here for a few days either and finally gave up thinking I'd find something out at CU, well, we know how that went.   :banghead: I decided to try once more and here I am.

It's good to see ya'll, BTW.

we did change our name and move to a new server, and the redirect from the old site stopped working for a few days
before we noticed it and fixed it.  I should probably change the DNS for conservativeScave to point to us here at conservativecave.

on edit : and it is very good to see you again. :-)
