Pretty much working again

We seem to be back up and running although there are still some issues that we are working out. You can login and everything but beware of minor intermittent issues for the next day or two. There may be small bugs that come and go as we work on the site.

Almost working

BinRev is back up for the moment, but it is basically read-only right now. You will not be able to login due to a PHP configuration issue that we are still working on.

BinRev down again

It looks like something updated overnight and caused apache/PHP to break. Apache still works and our non-PHP based sites work fine, but all PHP based stuff (including binrev.com) are all down.

Who do not think that this is a hack or attack at this time, just a simple configuration issue. It should be resolved soon.

We got 0wned!

Binrev.com is down. We were attacked as part of "the summer of HAX" which is a movement of black hat hackers who attack "white hat" sites. I always thought of binrev as more grey hat, but I guess they thought otherwise. I wouldn't mind teh attack itself so much except that they deleted everything in the process. The destruction is the part that I disagree with.

Anyway, because I am going out of town on Wednesday and will not be back until Thursday of next week, the site will be down until further notice. We have some backups (at the very worst case, I have backups from before the forums upgrades but hopefully we have more recent backups on an off-site server) but I do not have time to restore them right now. Perhaps some of the other guys on the team will be able to do something while I am gone.

Sorry about this everyone. People don't like me personally and they don't like binrev so unfortunately, we all pay the price. If I do not have recent backups, this may be the end of binrev anyway. It was costing too much money and time which I do not have so it may be bye-bye binrev.

Our first time hacked, may also be our last. They may have done me a favor.

That didn't last long...Server load spiked

The server was just overwhelmed with users and could not keep up with the load. I had to take it back offline. Once again, too bad, so sad. I am going to bed for the night soon and the forums will be offline until further notice.

UPDATE: I decided to leave the forums turned on overnight to see if the server catches on fire. If it does, then it was God's will that BinRev close down forever.

Back online...for now

OK you unhappy campers. The horrible terrible site that is binrev.com is once again open for business. I am sure you will come rolling in and begin complaining about how terrible it is right away.

Tough S#it! It is what it is. Deal with it.

Minor tweaks left

Normally, I would bring it back up and work through the tweaks while you guys are able to get posting again. But since you guys must have everything perfect or you will bitch and complain, then I am keeping the board down until I have everything completed to *my* satisfaction.

Of course none of *you* complaining dickw@ds are *ever* satisfied with any of the FREE services that we provide, so I can't do anything about that, nor do I care anymore.
