fenderjazz Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi All, We have had a loss of our server and all of it's data apparently. First and foremost I'm sorry for anyone who depends on us for this happening. Counterparts is run by people who care, but who also have real world lives and who are not infallible. Thank you for being our friends. We are discussing what to do next, whether to rebuild or do something else or nothing at all. Your comments and thoughts mean a lot to us, and I'm sorry, personally if I have let you down. I consider you all part of my extended family. Whether we agreed on things, or vehemently disagreed on things, or barely registered on each others' radar, I still care about you all very much. I'll post here and on the CP Facebook page and twitter when we have come to a decision and post it https://www.facebook.com/CounterpartsMessageBoard Please continue with your thoughts and ideas here and there and we will regroup and figure out something Thank you so much for your patience!

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 R.I.P.C.P. A little premature with the RIP, maybe. Let's hope some eleventh hour solution comes in, or that they rebuild again. FJ, let us know if you need help with anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CygnusGal Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 That is too bad and I'm sorry to hear that. It is difficult for all of the users and frustrating for technicians/administrators. A lot of time and love goes into maintaining these boards. I hope it all works out for you and for CP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 This isn't the only Rush site? Nope! CP was out there before us.CP is the biker bar of Rush forums. It's for Rush fans who hate Rush. —Tony R. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Hermit Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Wow. Serious bummer. I figured after a few days that it must have been somthing major. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 How in the name of Jerry Christ could this happen..... again?? After last time, how could there not be some level of data backup? Maintaining the database side of a message board must be far more complicated than I understand. Anyway, if all this is true and not some desperate ploy to kill off CP (remember Ken wanting to shut it down?), then it sucks to start over but CP must live on. Please let me know what I can do to help, so long as it doesn't involve any money or time. Keep us "posted." Haha, get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbach66 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Ouch. No bueno, as they say. Also figured it was bad, but not that bad. Edited February 15, 2013 by sbach66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I guess this explains why a certain someone has been spotted on TRF today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandering Hermit Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 In CPv3.0, everything will be perfect. No flame wars, bygones will be bygones. Everyone will start fresh. Nick will say nice things about New Rush, RR will be back and he and Slim will be best friends, it will just all be so neat. I'm looking forward to it. 3rd time is the charm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) I'm really sorry to hear that. I am a member of both boards but obviously spend most time here. CP is a great site (notice use of present tense - I'm sure you'll get something figured out), though - TRF is just a better fit for me!

Grizz will rise from the dead, revealing the Truth about 9/11 Truthers. Ouchie will return as a gentile anti-semite being treated for Asperger's. DotS will type and talk like a normal person so that I may take her off Ignore. And Manic will return as the best AL moderator ever. It will be a little slice of cyber-heaven.

bytor11 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Thanks for the update fj. I got worried today when the site popped up to a godaddy domain is for sale page. I would like to see CP return, if you need assistance I'll do what I can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
