Welcome Back to RFF!

[CameraQuest]

Thanksgiving morning about 6 AM West Coast time I became aware RFF was down. Reasonably the site should have been back up in 2 to 4 hours max. Other than a brief 6 to 9 hour window Friday night, RFF is finally back only 7 days later.

RFF is hosted on a dedicated server with RAID backup by a large company which hosts thousands of servers, a company that promises expert tech support 24/7 365.

The frustration of the situation has been beyond words.

Welcome Back!

Just curious. Did you ever get an explanation from the hosting company what exactly went wrong and why it took so long to fix?

Thank you for your hard work and dedication to RFF. Much appreciated.

Glad RFF is back online !

Thanks for getting on them to get it back. Probably this will be good training for them, and next time they'll have things recovered faster. Still...I'd be looking around...

I went one time to Pop Photo but I do that every once in a while, just swooping in and out. I didn't go to photo.net, but if the owner or mod was that kind over there, he is indeed a class act. Thanks to him.

But other than the swoop to Pop Photo, I just toughed it out. And it was tough. I'm so glad RFF is back up. Thanks also to Mr. Gandy, who must have spent considerable time haranguing his hosting company and still finding time to answer emails on possible purchases in the furture. Thank you again sir.

Feels good to be back "home".

Wow, I had thought that RFF was gone for good when the tacky "this domain is for sale" page loaded this morning. So glad and relieved of the return to normalcy.
