The Sunday Outage

Thank you for this info, thanks for letting everyone know and not hiding anything

 

Thanks for info Slind.
You can tell everything to us we will understand you!

 

Thank YOU for being by FAR the best founders of any minecraft server I've ever seen in 6 years! <3 this server

 

You guys are amazing. You provide a free service to hundreds of people, or maybe thousands now, and you still find the time to explain a short(ish) outage. I think you actually have better customer service than Steam. So, basically, thanks :3

 

This is why I like MYM, no reason to hide anything, and you always get the facts right from the top.

 

Cheers Slind you guys are truly amazing And I am honored to be apart of the staff team!!!
Thanks to all the Staff as a whole you're all amazing!!!!

Coming from someone who works quite closely with both @Slind and @SirWill I just wanted to take the time to thank you both for all the extra effort you put in everyday to make sure that we remain #1. It has been an honor to work with the both of you these past months. And a privelage to call you friends. Heres to many more atop the minecraft community

 

Well said Charles =)

 

I wish every server owner took the time to be this transparent. It's rare. Thanks for the info!

 

I can only raise my both hands to back this opinion. I still can't simply understand why you, the Staff, are willing to do some much for so many for free (unsuccessfully rephrasing Churchill). From this place, I'd like to urge the members of our community to donate, even the smallest, symbolic amount - not only will you get some perks (enderchest!) but, first of all, you will show your appreciation which these people surly deserve!

 

Being a newcomer, I had already been impressed with the level of dedication of the staff and the quality of play offered, all without obtrusively asking for donations or restricting items or standard abilities to donor ranks. The community was friendly and immediately accepting of me, and I quickly felt at home and also proceeded to spend WAY too many late nights playing with you guys!

Having had some previous server administration experiences, I watched how you guys handled both the attack, and the consequential outcry from many players. You did an outstanding job, while still maintaining a professional manner and offering a place for us to play, despite the inconvenience, which puts you guys way up there as a world-class server network--far beyond anything I've seen in the past!

The transparency offered during and in the wake of the outage is greatly appreciated by all, I'm sure--especially us technical types--it not only demonstrates a level of real care for the player community, but also shows the competence and understanding of your staff, in not only technical aspects, but also the managerial and financial.

I am proud to be a part of this community, and even more so to be accepted as a part of your team. For any other newcomers here, you've found a wonderful place to play, and one that won't be going anywhere any time soon! Keep up the awesome work, guys!

 

that's the reason why i am still in forum even i have less time to play with

 

Thx for the info. I hope this is a one time thing. I don't mind it being down, but it's great to know that the staff is always there to pick up the pieces. Although this shouldn't be even necessary. People have always been jealous of others success. If you ever need anything back from a community member, just shout.

Do you think it would be possible to create some sort of lab network for the master drives which then goes into a WAN for everything else

 

Thanks for your hard work staff and very good you did explain what happened in detail and honest, im proud to be a part of this server

 

For a school project, I'm experimenting with creating a resilient, load-balanced Moodle set-up using multiple identical machines with Maria DB Galera Cluster as the synchronized SQL server and GlusterFS as the synchronized data area. I don't know if you are familiar with either of these technologies, but they sound like they might be a potential help in your desire to create a "hot spare" of sorts to take over in the event of a server failure--Galera to keep database-tied data like perms and block logs synced, and Gluster to keep world data synced. Theoretically, downtime could be reduced to little more than the time it takes to start a server and maybe a redirect in the event of a failure or maintenance on one of the machines. Of course, not being overly familiar with your underlying setup, this idea could be totally off base

 

All this sounds very complicated any I have no idea if it would work or not however It might be a great idea (Honnestly I have no Clue) May I recomend that maybe you post this under suggustion thread ( Suggestions and Feedback | MineYourMind Community ) and maybe tag @Administrator , It might be an awesome idea!

Anyway Thank you (and welcome to the comunity^^^)
