Default Official TRF News/Update

Well folks, we finally managed to do it! Eugenio and I had a disagreement and we banned each other off the forum and subsequently no one can get into The Rocketry Forum (TRF) anymore.

Seriously, TRF is experienceing a serious database corruption error. The site will be down until further notice.

Roughly two months ago Eugenio and myself, as well as many of you, saw the outages starting to increase, indicating such a problem was starting to occur. This was one of the major drives for both of us taking ownership of the site so suddenly, to correct some errors and prevent the permanent loss of the web site. Unfortunately we weren't quick enough to prevent the corruption error over the past month; as it had been slowly occuring over a greater period of time. The previous TRF management didn't backup the system as needed.

Currently, we are trying to glean everything we can off of the database and then move over to the new third-party provider. It's always been our sincere hope that all of the data gathered over the years will not be lost during this transition. However, with the corruption occuring spontaneously we're not sure if this will be possible.

Nevertheless, there are plans for TRF to return with or without the previous data.

Thanks as well to Scott for his personal support through this outage.
