Anyone know why for several days I only got a white screen?

Candlekeep staging a protest at the monetization of DnD?

Wow!

Stand with anybody that stands right. Stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.

Earth names in the Realms are more common than you may think.

Well met

Apologies for the inconvenience and delay to resume service. The web host had somehow disabled ASP scripting for the site (assume as part of an upgrade or server shift)

At work, there's one particular person that we (jokingly) blame for almost all issues, especially those things that he couldn't possibly have even considered doing.

With that background offered, I will now blame Mario for that white screen issue.

I was worried for a while there. As the oldest active member, bar Alaundo, I thought my streak was done!

Well met

You and me both. It was a simple issue yet had us baffled for some time. The data was preserved, luckily, but I was at one point thinking "well, this is it, the end"

Are there any contingencies for preserving the vast volumes of lore on this site in the event of a permanent site failure?

The site and databases are backed up periodically in multiple locations, so we're relatively safe in that respect. It's more the older tech on the forum which gives the most cause for concern, which could end up with compatibility issues or deprecation in the future. Hopefully, the long-overdue migration to another platform will happen beforehand.

Be very careful with "site migration by committee", too many cooks can easily spoil That soup.
