[Ireland] Forums and Website
<img src="http://erep.site11.com/hitcounter.png">
Bad news. As lots of you have probably seen, the site that has our national forums is offline. Unfortunately, the hosting provider has closed the account and refuses to give any explanation why (one of the drawbacks of being free I suppose). There isn't anything more I can do. We still own the www.erepublik-ie.com domain name, it just can't be used without a hosting plan.
I simply don't have the will to go through setting up new ones, so someone else will have to do that.
If you need to get to the IRC channel, you can go to
http://www.mibbit.com/chat
Select "Rizon" from the dropdown box, and enter "#e-ireland" as the channel.

I will be more than happy to help setting new ones up.
How much of MB of hosting space is needed? Please send me a PM.
Does this mean we have lost all the topics that were on the board?
yes
I'm working on creating one at the moment.
Be patient though.
That really sucks
How do we get back or precious legislation so does eIreland start from square one.
Anyone know the data transfer usage per month of the old ones? Or what kinda space we need?
A lot of our legislation is in google docs, we may be able to retrieve it from there..
A lot of data will still be on the Google cache - but not for long. <a href="http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=c03&q=site%3Aforum.erepublik-ie.com&btnG=Search&meta=" target="_blank">http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&client[..]meta=</a>
:S ouchies
ANARCHY PRECIOUS ANARCHY!
It doesnt take that long to setup a good forumotion so we should be ok.
thats depressing.
Looks like I picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue...
sh*t!
Proboards, basic as it may be, is not a terrible free alternative. I've also never heard of a Proboard being pulled (and I knew some awfully lewd, crude and rude ones).
Forumotion, as mentioned above, is also a decent free service (at the very least, visually better than Proboards). However, I have little to no experience with them and don't know how strict their admins are.
Did you have a backup of the database or do you still have any access to it? If you did its just a formality of setting up a new installation of the forums and connecting it backup to the database again. If you are stuck you can PM me and I will offer my services.
UPDATE: I have set up a domain <a href="http://www.irepublik.com" target="_blank">www.irepublik.com</a> and I have setup PHPBB3 forums there. Of course the forums are empty but if the powers that be contact me I'll go about giving you access and we can all knuckle down and bring the forums back to life again. The offer is there please feel free not to accept.
Thanks..... hope we'll be back in business in no time. I saved some of the new citizens guide articles from google cache. Couldnt find much else.
I would like to act as a collection point for google doc links and such.
PM any links you may have.
