Hey! Rockalilly here. I tried to help. I’m really good at User Acceptance Testing of new systems at work. Guess why? I can break ANY system. I know just enough to be dangerous. So, when Kris and Mike were talking about how B&P was running out of space…but we were also still working on some transition things, I looked up new hosts and found one. It gave us about 20% more space for about the same cost.
But I didn’t actually find the instructions on how to transfer the site. I logged in and it said “do this!” So I did. Except…that should have been the LAST step, not the first one. I’ve been working all week to fix things.

We do have a backup of the site. I’m working on loading it. The new hosting site helped me get this far yesterday, but I think when I initially loaded the backup file (which is about 60% of the new storage and 80% of the old site), then unzipped it — making it 120% of the new storage threshold, because that means two copies for a bit! — some things didn’t transfer – like anything other than 2008-2010 posts. I got rid of the 2nd copy and I’m working on manually doing the rest. There were also a few compatibility issues that I’m working on, so a lot of the images aren’t showing up. Those are only a little important on a meme site, right? Mike said he couldn’t do a new post with a picture either. I don’t know. And I know I probably got way technical for some and not enough for others.

I do think it’s funny that the most recent post that showed up when they loaded it for us was a post from Jonco about issues he had in 2010. Accurate…even if those were 14 years ago! But yes — I’m not giving up. I’m hoping to get things back as close to they were as possible, but it’s my fault and I’ve promised not to touch things once I put them back. Please be patient with us! I’m hoping to at least get it to where new posts can be added.

We’ll see how this one goes.

<3, Rockalilly
