You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

All the info for the forum are stored in databases in a format called MySql. One of them crashed and I was lucky to find a way to repair it.

Well, I have neither Facebook nor Twitter, so I was out of the loop, so to speak.  But I guessed it had to be a malfunction or scheduled maintenance -- except as to the latter, I think the mods would have warned us. 

Anywho -- glad the forum is back.  I miss yunz guys.

mysqlcheck -r, or 'repair table smf_sessions;' in mysql.  Of course, if you don't know the password for one of the database users you need to restart mysql with --skip-grant-tables.

I tried screaming at the monitor, but I guess the messages didn't go through.

   I suspect an AT/NT war to break out before the night is through, even if I have to start it, so definitely a playback loop.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

That's pretty much what I did. Thankfully it worked. You know MySql?

I'm not a DBA by any means, but I've worked with it where necessary enough to know my way around.
