I hope all of you understand that my position in here is to look after the server , as in monitoring the network , the server performance , errors , rebooting and etc etc .
Just to make things clear , im not the Administrator for Zerotohundred.com , Tom is the one & only Admin in here . So this forum is basically being managed by Tom him self , so updating / patching up the forum suppose to be Tom's job .
But since we are very understanding and since zerotohundred users are very demanding , we do extra's & take extra responsibility just to make sure that , Zth serves the community better .
Our responsibility is to keep the server runing , backing up the server every 4 days , getting the latest updates , and do what a normal server admin does .
Asking us to back up the forum daily is abit too much , 12GB aint small , it may sound little to some of you guy's . Day by day its growing , it gets bigger day by day . There are more then 30,000 picture attachment files , like i said its still growing .
Here is a scenario , car parks act like servers , cause they host parking space to who ever wants to park , they'll provide the space , basic security such as cctv , guards are deployed and the maintainance works on the mechinery , ticket system is all done by the Parking Co = Hosting . But then as a car owner , he should be aware that the car park security ain't enough , even with high tech security system being engage in the car , the car is still at risk , and if the car gets jacked who is resposible for its lost ? the Parking Co ? the Owner ? , Or the surrounding who witness it but didn't do anything about it ?.
What im trying to say is , shit happens and it happens for a reason , when this shit occur , all we can do is learn from mistakes , try to improve what we are capable at . As for the surroundings who talks about it and doesnt do anything , they should take some responsibility too .
Tom sorry for this write up , cause seeing some of the posting , its really a let down for us . After working long hours in the datacenter 9pm - 2am and now monitoring the forum at 6am while doing upgrades to the forum , and then seeing some posting , really no motivation for us :lol: , which at that time i could have gone to town and check out some chicks at the club :lol:
it's very frustrating to have things like this happen over and over again! have any steps been taken to rectify this? i propose that a daily backup should be seriously considered. short posts or PMs might be easier to replace, but long well thought out ones are not.
