Hey.

Unfortunately the XE Forums are down right now.

Will try to make a long story short, PHPBB is the most shitty forum to update and PHPMyAdmin is unable to export bigger databases properly.
The update failed and screwed up the Database , so we are now without proper DB backups, mine are thanks to PHPMyAdmin incomplete.
My ISP however does daily backups of every server so I am hoping they can restore the server to the last backup this morning.

For the time being we will have to use xbox-forum.com as a backup until all is back up and running again.
I created a forum for Repair and Modding on the General Discussion one.

You can also come on the chat and ask questions like always: http://chat.xbox-experts.com

Sorry for the inconveniences guys....

Good luck on getting everything back up. It would be too bad if it was really all gone. There was a lot of good reference material in those forums. It was definitely the most complete 3rd party reference on the web for fixing the 360.

Little update on the situation, all is fine I finally made it to unpack one of the corrupted bzip2 files, so I got a database backup from the day before yesterday....
Just gotta transfer all the files and set it all up on the server again which will take a while.
The forum should be up again in a couple of hours.

Cheers...

Forums are running on the backup server now, quickly updating it to the latest version (again) while the DNS records are updating, within the next 60 minutes the forums should be reachable again for everybody.
