Pf is Back! Celebrate with Greg!

In summary: We all missed PF during the downtime, but we're glad it's back now. In summary, PF was temporarily down due to a problem with the database hard drive port, causing withdrawal symptoms and frustration for many users. However, after 5 hours of troubleshooting, Greg was able to fix the issue and bring PF back online. Some users even joked about hiring someone to physically stop them from posting on the forum. Overall, everyone is grateful to have PF back and functioning properly.

Thank goodness, it's back. PF withdrawal is an ugly, ugly thing.

Turned out the port the database hard drive was plugged into went bonkers. Moved it to a new port and we're back. Only took 5 hours to figure that out...

My theory is that the PF admins were drinking port for 5 hours:tongue:

Whatever, I'm happy to see PF back online!

I was thinking the exact same thing except for the kisses. I LOLed a little when I saw that you were the first one to post a comment like this.

I once officially announced that I was going to leave PF for a while. (I was thinking a few months at least). These are the next two posts I made in that thread:

Lol, I've written 47 posts since I "left" 19 days ago. I suck at staying away. I'll try to do better now. I hope I don't have to ask someone to ban me. :tongue2:

Fredrik said:
Aaarrggh...I said that, and then I wrote 77 posts in 14 days. :grumpy:

I should probably hire someone to slap me every time they see me click a quote button...

Thanks Greg. Initially I thought it was just another 502/504 problem in the middle of my day, as usual - but they never last that long.

It was really awful yesterday night here.
I returned back from my tuition at 7:00pm and found that Physics forums is down. I again checked at 8:00pm, the conditions were same. :frown:
More worse at 9:30pm, i encountered a database error.
I kept checking for every 15 minute till 12:00am but there was no improvement. :frown:
(IST timings)

Finally in the morning, before going to my school, i again checked, it worked. It was really a long and painful wait. :cry:

Thank you Greg for fixing the problems. :)
