What happened to foalcon booru?

[Josh167]

It went down for 4 days, and when it came back online, it's like it forgot EVERYTHING! It thinks I'm an administator(which I'm not) and it's acting like the one pic I posted on it is the very first one it's ever got. What happened to it?

[TiredSysOp]

Sounds like it got restarted or upgraded and it's not connecting to it's old database, if you've created an account on it and it's the only one then it'll automatically make you an admin. Contact the owner

[Josh167]

How do I contact the owner? I don't even know who owns it.

[TiredSysOp]

If I found the right one it looks like the backend is down. Have another look and see if it says anything about not being able to fetch basic configuration

[Josh167]

Does that mean the owner's trying to fix it? Also, yes; I did find the message saying it can't fetch basic configuration from the server. The website is https://booru.foalcon.com.

[TiredSysOp]

I hope so, https://foalcon.com/index.html if that's the right community drop into their discord and have a quiet word.

[Josh167]

I'm trying to mention it, but apparently the only channels I can access are "rules", "Introductions", and "Public Ban History". There's no help channel on there, and I'm not getting any response from either of them.

[Josh167]

You know what? I don't understand the whole point anymore. No one's answering my comments on that discord server, and I'm on the verge of going insane..

[TiredSysOp]

I wouldn't worry about it mate, too much stress and worry. If it comes back then it comes back. Otherwise fire up your own one if it's not back in a couple days. 💪

I... don't know if this is the right place to discuss the uptime of an instance?

[TiredSysOp]

It isn't but the problem has solved itself now anyway. But it's a sneaky way of finding out how Szurubooru operates under less than ideal circumstances. If you've got the perms for it you can nuke this thread 💪
