*gently pokes HoM* You okay? Like, you’re not gonna crash on us if we make a sudden move? ._.

Also hello Tom! And Amy!

Been thinking about HoM a lot lately and so when Phoebe said that it was back up and running, I figured I'd come drop in and see how it's doing

Hi Tom! It’s missing some stuff since this is a backup from like 5 months ago, but IT’S HERE. And now I have to get ready for work and don’t have time to go on a mass saving spree like I want.

You should stick around! If the board does, too. You never know. We don’t dare trust this. XD

That's WILD. Was it the server, the board?

And yes, I definitely recommend everyone back up important character or thread info, because you just NEVER know. The internet is a downright bitch sometimes.

I am going to have to update this set. Tom Holland and evermore lyrics? that's so late 2020 XD

How long have I even had my set? Since like, year 1 BP? (Before Pandemic)

HoM lives!! I was so upset when I tried to check in last week and couldn’t get it to load!

Well. To cut a long story short... because our version of the board is from like 2004, all the internet related stuff that we need to keep it running is out of date and is being slowly phased out of the internet. So to make it work, I had to find a server that would run this SUPER OLD STUFF that most hosts don't use, and to use specific versions.

The host won't admit it but I think they changed something in their back end that caused the versions of the stuff to become misaligned and so the board couldn't open the database because it was reading the version incorrectly.

I did also end up restoring a backup from November 2022 so I apologise, you're missing stuff from like November to March... sorry.

I'm also in the crowd of people who were reminiscing about HoM last week so I'm glad to see that it's back up, even if it sounds like it was a struggle to get it so! Thanks for rescuing it, Phoebe!
