Many thanks to the admins for your efforts to bring this server back online (and backing it up before it went down) ! :)
Morning mate,
As said before, backing up is done on a daily basis thanks to Nurgle's efforts. This time it just took a little longer due to other issues.
Btw, the downtime was caused by (yet another) hardware failure on the host's side.
Yes indeed, I agree with what OCT said.
Really great to have cpcwiki back.
I was beginning to have withdrawal symptoms!
:D
Me too :D
By the way, we lost one day's worth of posts and changes, since the backup is taken every night. No biggie, but if you go through the threads you'll see that your last posts may be missing...
Yeah, thanks guys. Even though I only got back into programming my CPC a few months ago, this made me realise how much I now use this awesome resource... ;D
I also missed the wiki a lot.
I have a CPC+ ( + colour monitor. yeah! :) Thanks, MacDeath!) now and needed some info.
Great that it's back online!
Yeah, great to be back. I'd just finished reading the rest of the internet, so it was high time for new content :D
Bryce.

...not to mention almost being pulled off the #1 position in CPC-TopSites! :laugh:
I just suck up to Winape if sites go down! ;)
Ag! I lost my latest additions to the System Disk page! :o
Well, I'll upload it again this weekend. I'm glad to have the Wiki back, I started to worry ;)
@robcfg: sorry mate... hope it wasn't a lot of work.
Also, no need to worry, when something happens I try to keep people updated, so you can find what's going on either from the front page, other blogs (thanks, Octoate!) or Twitter.
@Bryce: it was on my to-read list, but unfortunately I can't take all the Internet to bed, where I do most of my reading. Sucks.
Well, I've reuploaded the stuff that were lost from my last update to the System Disk page.
On the funny side, that page told that there were no German CPC 664 system disk by Amstrad (instead of Schneider), guess what? We got hold of one of these and it's nicely scanned and dumped ;)
[Edit] By the way, it seems that after the backup restore, I have to confirm my email address every time I want to upload something to the wiki. Could you take a look at it, please?
Hmm... stating the obvious, but have you tried another browser? I see no reason why it would ask you to... cookies probably.
