This gave him command of the largest police force in Germany. Soon afterward, Göring detached the political and intelligence departments from the police and filled their ranks with Nazis. On 26 April 1933 Göring merged the two units as the Gestapo
I heard a rumor that a car accident occurred earlier last week which involved the owner of DV and some other DV Staff traveling in the car, they were killed in the MVA they apparently died on impact... but rumors are rumors, I never know what to believe these days..
Being in a car accident would bring the site down ?
I don't want any part of spreading rumors.
Still down
I commented on a forum earlier today about Vin and hopeful he is OK, even if DV is no more I still wish it.
I'm sure it will be back up sometime but a lot of people will go elsewhere I guess.

I will start off by making this short and expand as needed.
The site has been down for over a week as many of you know and the reason behind that is a major fault on our hosting provider. They reformatted our drives and nuked our on-line back-ups.
The very bad news is this, DV has lost it's content due to a failure at the hosting side and even more so we discovered that the hard drive we use to backup DV is corrupt.
We are trying to recover the data but have yet been successful, so we are currently looking for a much older backup. This is obviously devastating news for every member at DV including myself. We are currently on a temporary server and our new server will be ready tomorrow. Rest assured we are doing all we can to bring back DV but please help our community by actively participating in posting at this time.
Also all previous members will have to re-register at this time.
Thank you,
Vin[/DIV][/TD][/TR][/TBODY][/TABLE]
So the whole server is down eh! I was worried I had been banned by the overzealous mods! Still we will have to re-register! now is the time to register the handles of all the irritating regulars

LOL..................that would take weeks
No words can express what I feel at the loss of DV but with today's recovery software programs and a few days one can recover a formatted hard drive in a matter of hours. Have they never heard of a Raid storage array thus continuing to carry back ups of the back ups. Should any one drive fail, it is a easy hot swap, to the new one and the info will be rebuilt to the hard drive.
When ones Family photo collection has been scanned in to the computer over 120 GB of family history stored on a hard drive 9 months of scanning photo's document 30 audio tapes of the biography's of our ancient family lineage history recited by.members who have passed away. The legacy they leave behind is the story's they told. Nearly 4 hours a day.was spent ripping scanning 300 years of family history documented and stored biography's.
I continue to this day to have separate hard drive back up's at least 2 hard drives storing a Direct image updated 3 to 4 times per year or as needed, 1 compressed Rar image file stored on 2 different servers slightly expensive.at 7 dollars a month but with the USD nearly at par it has recently been as low as 5 dollars. is invaluable priceless you could even say. The peace of mind should the worst ever happen a fire completely guts the house where the hard drives containing the family back ups are. I can then go online to the server and Download the family history to a new hard drive.
DV if they want can bring me the Drives For data recovery. Or if they have the money go to a recovery center. I make no promises of being able to fully recover all formatted data but it should be possible with the software I have. should it fail to do so I tried and it costs them nothing, should I succeed my price is 50 dollars to cover Root beer and Pizza expenses.
it Also Pisses me off Having to re register My Handle/s and it is not like the old DV where I could use the old Email I have I now also have to use a new email per bloody handle...

No, RAID isn't for backup, in fact it's a huge mistake to use it for backups as a lot of people have sadly discovered.
RAID replicates data and/or stripes it across a series of drives. It's mostly used for performance reasons, not for backup. If you have bad data it just gets replicated to all of the drives. If files get corrupted you just end up with multiple copies of the corrupted files. Hooray.
The only way to do backups is to periodically archive the data off to an unconnected media store, and then stash it away offsite. I use 3 portable 1-terabyte drives which I rotate, usually weekly. The ones that aren't being used are stored offsite in a vault (yup, an actual vault). If DS went down really hard, we might lose a week of data or so, but it wouldn't all be gone. Might lose as much as a month if I was really lazy. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
Thats Just what I do. samething Portable drives. but then again I am not dealing with the same storage capacitys as you are and I am not actually using a storage vauly. But I do have some portable drives I plug in and one click back ups of the important data. Mind my house is a mess I recently got 3 more computers lol... I have no idea what to do with them all now.

TehBorken whats the best way to format wipe 20 HD ranging from 20 to 200 GB ? a DND standard wipe setting ? a standalone CDR boot up linux run application program ? I really do not want to spend money on a program if there is a good linux freeware version. I want to save that for other things like that nice 2 GB HD at Newegg onsale for 124.99
then run a series of smart test after wards.. and any fit for the recycling bin there after and the rest donated to free geek or reboot I guess.

That's what I'd do. Easy, simple, and fast.

Well, if you're worried about data remaining on the drive, don't sweat it. Unless you're storing nuclear secrets or Echelon-class data, a simple format or two will wipe it.
If you're really worried you can do what Lawrence Livermore Labs used to do to decommissioned hard drives: 300 overwrite passes, alternating between all-zeros, all-ones, alternating zero-one, alternating one-zero. Then they'd take them out to the green area and dump the platters into a vat of acid. Floppy disks went through the three-pass hammer-mill shredders...all that came out was some fine magnetic dust. The next step was probably putting the dust into canisters and launching them into the Sun.
It seemed like a bit much to me, but it was cool to watch.
Lmao that sounds like serious information protection overkill. I think a standard DND wipe will be more than plenty.. I do not trust the 2 or 3 pass basic formatting's of a hard drive. a simple formatted drive can so easily have the info recovered off it. A wiped drive however can also be recovered but it depends on the type of wipe you are using and if they are using...
Whats that thing called ??? it is used by data recovery centers and police labs (at least I think it is used by them) the name I think is a spectrum magnetic imager like a giant microscope used to read the single magnetic bytes of a drive? This thing can reportedly recover a DND wiped drive not sure on the Guzman??? method which I understand can take up to a week on a 40 GB HD. Data can be recovered but at what cost ? I understand it could cost anywhere from 100 to 10,000 dollars per gigabyte ? This method is thankfully not used by Q public and hopefully not being used by identity theft organizations.
Most of the drives I get are untested and most end up in a pile, I am terribly lazy, and do hate working on computers at times, besides it's not like I make any money at this.. Well I can always start it tomorrow.
First set up 2 of those machines in a linux based CD rom run program perhaps DBAN ? and after it runs I need a Program CD rom that I can use to start testing drives and after that maybe see what can be kept what should be tossed and if I am lucky perhaps refurbish, rebuild and donate to some charities for a tax write off next year.
I suppose i could wipe the drive then take the sledge hammer to them. but if they are still capable of passing smart data tests and are viable to be used, why throw them out. Far better to recycle so the many people that can not afford computers can buy from or get from organizations such as Free-Geek and Reboot try to make them available to everyone... they state they wipe the drives before hand but I can not say how many times I pulled up info off drives places like that say they do...

Guess what its down again ;D guess the mods couldnt cope with the spammers and fried their consoles ;D so expect an invasion of bored trolls :o
It's down for maintainence while they upgrade some features that weren't re-enabled when the forum was restored back to default settings. I am sure it will be back up shortly.
Wasn't it down for maintenance the last time too? It took a while to come back then.
I think it has Down Syndrome along with some of the trolling posters.
Ummm maybe I'm insulting Down syndrome people by comparison.
Perhaps. A couple of my patients have down syndrome and I find them to be quite delightful and rather intelligent. The only times I find trolls none delightful and pathetic is when they post pictures and/or talk about anything vulgar in a very extremely graphic manner.
Yeah I apologize, I cant think of anything deserving the comparison thinking about it.
How about that Blue Frost....yeah....Blue Frost...
DV is rubbish. Periodically down for no apparent reason, they didn't even try to tune it up months after last crash in May which allowed name spoofing and duplicate accounts, lazy lame administrators - not only allowed complete crash in May, but also managed to lose all backups. Who carries out business like this?
They are a ship with no captain...either Vin has sold the forum or is on an extended leave of absence due to a mental break down. The lack of an Admin is glaringly obvious.

Maybe it means the administrators are in a meeting, i think vin might sell up! The site get most of its money from adverts and hasnt been much lately and they even banned googlebot
I don't see why it would be down except for a crash, or legal issues, rights, a dispute, or something like that.
You people have some wild imaginations!
Things needed to be fixed after the crash - that was evident in all the things the mods would end up posting about. Why couldn't it just be upgrading as stated in the message on the board the other day? Huh? Huh?
Gossiping is so unbecoming.
People don't know they are going to speculate, me I haven't a clue why it's down.
Do you mean maybe that the site is in a state of receivership, possibly formed to prevent bankruptcy and to allow for the administration of alloted resources to pay off creditors ?

You obviously don't. If it costs so little, maybe you'd be willing to foot the costs for the dedicated server that this site is on? Hmmm?
Didn't think so. People like you are used to getting everything for free, letting other people do the actual "work" part.
Actually, it's what I know best. I am in the industry. I personally don't pay for hosting (company perk) but I know the going rates for dedicated servers aren't bank breaking.

Cool, so then you won't mind ponying up the ~$1620 dollars that it costs to rent this server from Constellate each year? Let me know, CMNGT* would be fine unless you'd prefer to send a check or money order.
I pay more for my home internet connection a year than that.
If you are paying that much for a dedicated server, you might want to consider changing hosting providers. You are paying too much.

You pay for service that never goes down and backup for when it does. I live in a world where I cannot be without a connection and I pay for it accordingly. That and the freedom to do what I want with that connection like host my own webserver :P

Not for what I'm getting. I shopped around, and this is a pretty fair price for what I get.
I have more than one connection and provider coming into my home. I have to have connection redundancy.
