The current status seems positive. Our systems administrator/ programming guru is hard at work restoring our systems.

After the site comes back up he will continue to work hard to build in several back up systems to further decrease the possibility of problems, including a mirror server.

At least our domain is up and running again with news updates (www.panhistoria. com).

People can still used Pan's Den at http://p208. ezboard.com/ bpansden where we have an active chat room going.

Also www.panerotica. us is working again, back to normal. Any intermittant access issues would be caused by the DNS resolving after the fix last night. Please remember this site is not suitable for younger members.

Hope to see you all on Pan soon.

Pan Piper ~ Pan Historia Updates

I take it that neither of you have joined the Pan Piper and haven’t been getting Pan Historia updates, so I’ll post them here since our community has been quiet.

Nothing is as simple as it first appears. Due to the severity of the storms in California, particularly in the Sierra Nevadas where the server is co-located at a small hosting company, there are several problems that will delay the return of Pan Historia for longer than previously anticipated. The backups did not perform as anticipated and so the rebuilding of the site is more complicated than previously anticipated. We don't expect any more serious setbacks however the conditions necessitate the tech guy be onsite to perform the needed repairs and technical functions. However storm conditions still prevail and so it might be a day or two before it's safe for him to travel. Once in situ his first priority will be to create a full backup of the site before messing with anything. Then it may take 1-3 days further, depending on the damage to the original server, before we're operating.

In other words - please be patient. I cannot authorize our Mysterious and Serious Programming Dude to risk life and limb for Pan Historia on hazardous mountain roads during blizzard conditions. I will continue to keep you informed as events unfold. Remember -we're the little minnow swimming in the big ocean of the internet.
