Help
So, I was notified today of the fact that my server did not have a valid paypal subscription and was thus taken down and primed to be wiped. This was after I had to recreate a subscription using their interface which they told me had been successfully associated with the account, due to credit card expiry. They also had me "Confirm" my paypal subscription a week ago which I did. So, they should have had records that I was in fact paying them as they were taking me off the hook. I have requested, in light of this piss-poor service, that if they have not wiped my server yet that I recieve a tarball of the contents of /home and /root, as my users deserve to suffer less than I do. I have not gotten a reply.
Garion has moved on to a more local and (I'm told) better dediserv provider. Your data may or may not show up there eventually. If it does not, I can only say that I hope you had backups. I am sorry for this, it was totally out of my control. As I haven't a record of the userlist either, I'm going to need all of you to re-register for this. I will give you an extra 100MB (brings the total up to 200MB) for your troubles as this was totally inexcusable.
The new server has not been linked with the garion.ath.cx subdomain yet as I am still installing core software (PHP, mysql, etc) on it as we speak. When it is all set up, I will note it. Also, my avatar will probably show again.
Yet again I apologize for the inconvenience.

<@Tixus> Anyway, I set the year to 1988 for some reason.
<@Tixus> And set the microwave to run for a minute and 28 seconds.
<@Tixus> But it failed to send me back in time, and I was disappointed.
<Insidious> Tixus accidentally microwaved the 80s
<Insidious> that is my takeaway from this

As you can see by my avatar being back, garion is now back up at its new address and server. Unfortunately, I still dont have any of the old data.

I don't usually do this, but: quoted for emphasis.
While I don't take advantage of any the free web space provided by Morrison Hosting Services (for semi-obvious reasons) it's amazing that you're offering such a great service for the community free of charge.
INSIDIOUS: YOU DA MAN. =D
