Welcome Back! Extended downtime update
 

Hi all,

My apologies for the extended downtime. The server JoeDios is on had a hardware failure and had to be shipped back to the site admin. He fixed it, and while he was in there, upgraded the hard drives. Sean, the admin, and I are long time friends. He let me know that JD was using 10 Gigs of space, from 60,000 files, and that's what was taking so long to restore. 4 days of uploading!

Anyway, on his request, I foot the bill for the drives, since JoeDios takes up FAR more space than any other site on the server, and was happy to do so.

I will be setting up a Facebook Group so we will have a place to communicate should the site ever go down again.

Thanks all!

Great!
 

Good job, Hammerfel.
Never let Joedios go!

Thanks Hammer, you are the best! :)

Absolutely, thank you much Hammer, your the man!

Thank you. I absolutely love viewing the awesome dio shots on this site.

Same thing happens to me. HELP!!!

Such good new Hammertime! We did start a facebook group while joedios was down, with similar forum threads should something like this occur again. Here's the url, http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/...79339848&ref=mf
join the group and I'll make you the admin of it. We already have a bunch of members and their Jd handles so it might make it easier!!Thanks for bringin JD's back to life.

I'm pretty sure Headquarters just joined that last night or the night before. I really need to get on the 'Book more often than I do.

Awesome to see the site back thanks you for y'all s hard work

I got the same problem.

But hey, it's back! :D

Xander I'm the same way brother :D

Yeah it's a start. ;)

We were all experiencing withdrawal symptoms from the absence of Joedios.com the past few weeks.

Now we're able to get our daily fix from its return.

Welcome back! :D


Also, I'd like to mention that this site is not able to maximize small pics to its original large file size. Any chance that this could be fixed?

Gracias!
 

I'm so glad this virtual home is back.
Thank you very much Hammerfel.

Anything we could do?

I believe the problem of us uploading recent stuff is... uh... Let's just say for Death's own website (in the works), he's having the same problem. Maybe he has it fixed but... Anyway... the create a folder for a file thing is beyond me but it's a universal thang for websites. Just fyi.

Thank you for all the hard work Fel! It's great to have the site back! :D

Yeah. Apparently it's what IT/Programmer people do. IIRC, Hammerfel actually has like, 4-5 websites out there. The JD is just one of them!

Is Death's a Joe site too tell me TELL ME!!!!!!! :p

Hammer thanks you,

Many thanks to the staff! Hey, just in time for Thanksgiving, eh? Seriously, I didn't realize how important JoeDios is to my online time. Glad we're all back.

:)

Awesome, we're back! :)

Hooray!

Whew! THAT'S the reason it went down....

I lost the use of the camera I had been borrowing from a friend. The site went down two days later. I got my own camera a couple days ago, now the site is back up. I thought either A) I'm magical, or B) the site new it wouldn't be recieving any new pictures from me for a while and slipped into a deep depression and eventually shut its self down until such a time as it knew I'd gotten a new camera and would be posting more pictures.

Glad it's back up, I've gotten some some new stuff of which to take pictures.

Woot!

Glad the site is back up.

Flatline. Death is creating an art gallery site cuz he's into CG works. It's for his own use but I'm guessing other artists can contribute. I was just saying, if an artist there wants to show their work, they'll do the same as here. Upload the file. So with that in mind, he understands the problem of uploading stuff, permissions, creating folders for a file, etc etc.

It was very strange not to be able to check in on my friends at a whim. It has become such a big partvof my daily life. Its true what they say, you don't know what ya got till its gone.

Thanks
 

Thanks for getting it back up. I know we all missed our favorite site! ;)

Joedios...the best of the best...

Happy to have the site up and running again. Let us know if you need anything in the future, even if it a few dollars to help out. We all know how tight finances are these days.

OMG don't ever do that again! I would get online and without JD I would be done in ten minutes, then I had to do things like talk to the wife and get involved with my kids. (they are so happy that the site is back up)

Lol! :D

Aah. I missed this place.

No Worries Fel....thanks for getting her up. (that sounded rather pornagraphic, didn't it?) Anyway...I must agree with a lot of our friends here when I say I have been bored out of my skull waiting fot the sight to come back up!

Thanks Againmy friend!!

I was scared something drastic had occurred. I am very glad to see us up and running again.

Glad the site's back up...

At first I thought I was given a timeout for posting my Stylistas team (Lucky me it wasn't the case - phew!):
