Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
For the record, the fix this time was as simple as me logging in, going to the crashed table, clicking repair, and waiting for it to finish. A 2 minute fix I wasn't able to get to for hours (maybe days, I'm not sure when it started), which is the main reason I just don't feel comfortable being the owner anymore! If it was something more serious, I have no idea when I would have gotten to it.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
Was wondering why KJ was out for about half a day. Thanks for the explanation.

From your recollection, how often would you say, did WOKJ had to deal with severe technical issues ever since you started it?

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
Very rarely, most things are minor. Biggest burden is changing servers, as that requires hours of work. Typically the server is on auto-pilot. I think it'd be about once every other year on average.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
For those wondering: no idea what the hell happened. Rebooted server (support ticket entered, they push the button), problem solved.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
Thanks Eagle for continually taking care of the site even as you are so close to transferring over ownership to others. Would Dr. Lecter/bl1222/EZ/Gamaur/loyalfromlondon, whoever's going to be in the new ownership group already gain login access and be able to repair tables and reboot servers even before the official transition? I hope the new owner(s) will be able to fix downtime issues as quickly with enough technical expertise as you do.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
I'll be up for it.
I have also started some active discussion on the future of the forum (my main goal is for as little to change as possible, at least for the transition period) and as soon as we have a solid plan, I will present it.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
Nothing is official until a takeover actually has taken place. But, as they say in Hollywood, talks are underway.

Keep in mind that in the absence of you making any public commitment we're all getting more and more anxious as these crashes keep occurring, and until someone commits 100% to this, others will start exploring running it themselves. If you're actually going to do it for real it makes no sense to let people worry about it. One of the reasons I am actualyl crammig it into m,y full schedule is that I'm afraid that no one is actually exploring running it themselves But I have said before that I have never lost the issue out of my sight and that I remember very well what Karl said about the end of July

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
That is indeed a rather disturbing silence for a potential new owner, because as of now it is safer to assume that the site is running as far as another crash than changing its owner.

That would, however, be a wrongful assumption.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner
I've been too busy to even deal with transitioning, someone asked me about purchasing the site (no discussions have taken place, I don't know who this person is), we'll see where it all goes. If there's ever any information to report, I will, there's just nothing of real note going on at this point.
