Ongoing Database Problems: Discussion/Questions

[Trotterdam]

Happy to note that Wonders data has been recovered and restored to the game.

And here I was ready to wax poetic about the impermanence of alngs things.

It would have been fitting. In real life, the pyramids are famously the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient Greeks that are still standing today

Still, yay!

[Confused No Name]

Would this census weirdness explain my recent endorsement of Mark not showing up in Mark's endo list

Yes, Sedgistan has said as much.

Thanks

[Republics of the Solar Union]

Well it went down for a while again, weird.

Was the crash the first of its kind in NS history

https://www.nationstates.net/page=list_ ... ensusid=71 In the list of nations with the most inclusiveness, 'Uberwald' got 1st place despite not having the actual value. Pretty interesting, probably something to do with very old nations.

While its probably the longest, there have definitely been other crashes. There was one in December of 2022 which lasted till the new year.

[Almonaster Nuevo]

I see the (recent) stats history graphs are back.
Good stuff, thank you team.

The Challenge 'levels' are (more or less) back to where they were!!
Well Done, and thank you for all the hard work!

Literally 1984 2008

The UN literally has other way more important things to deal with but they went with something that’s not even that big

Yeah, well, are you surprised when the nations on the human rights commission are the biggest violators of human rights?

We can't manage the real stuff, let's pick on a site doing Model UN.

[Revinorian]

Will this be fixed?

*** WARNING FOR SPAM ***

[Trotterdam]

Based on my notices, it looks like rankings have been fixed!

[Frisbeeteria]

:eyebrow:

So, your response to being warned for smiley spam is to post more utterly pointless smiley spam?

*** One day forumban for failure to learn ***. I realize you don't post enough for this to impede you, but do it a couple more times and you'll lose this nation.

[Almonaster Nuevo]

Well... apart from International Artwork, but that was to be expected.

[Catsfern]

it seems like the historical census data and cards are the only two big things left to fix

[SinCorp]

I see the (recent) stats history graphs are back.
Good stuff, thank you team.

* Leaves cookies. *

not only are they back, but they no longer glitch out on the mobile app like they used to. You can view all three Trend lines at once again!

[The Terren Dominion]

So is there any news on how things are going?

So is there any news on how things are going?

The short of it is that we were able to physically recover data from the failed drive. However, that data was corrupt in some areas. The slow pace at putting things back into the game is a process of working through where damage exists, what of it can be cleaned up, repaired, or trimmed off, and what is unworkable. This turned out well for Wonders, whose data was in relatively good shape. The prognosis is not as optimistic for lost polls.

At the moment, admin is working on cards, though I have nothing specific to share in that pursuit at the minute. The work is ongoing and taking place every day.

Alright, Thanks for letting us know. I wish you all as much luck as possible as you continue on.

[North American Imperial State]

Any update on how lost RMB posts are faring?

[Sedgistan]

The two current focuses for data restoration are Cards and Census histories - progress is being made on both. RMBs are likely to come later.

I was just looking through the rankings and found that this nation was first in all of the categories. I'm guessing that this is just a small mistake, and I just wanted to point it out in case. Great job yall are doing btw

I believe it has soemthihg to do with the fact that the nation is old (and with that population, probably one of the early nations)

[Sedgistan]

Cards data looks to have been recovered, but needs testing before we are in a position to make that area of the game live. It may initially be made read-only so players can help to check data; if so the hope is that'll happen within the next few days.

This is wonderful news.

By the way, I think a lot of us (myself included) would be happy to contibute to some kind of dinner or gift for everyone who contributed to this fix, like last time:

First of all, thank the mods and admin for working so hard on essentially salvaging what has become our happiness and second life. If I remember correctly, Eluvatar got a very nice dinner last time as a thanks!

This is really great news, thanks for the update!
