Some 16 hours ago the SOTW Forum went down caused by database problems.
The forum data was restored and damaged tables repaired. Shortly after that the same happened again. That conviced us and the service provider that there was a hardware problem.

As result all RAM chips in database server replaced and we are back in business. At this writing the access is still very slow, because there is a back-up process going on simultaneously. Important is that we were able to continue from the current data without resorting to older back-ups.

Thanks for your patience,
~Harri

P.S. The support people at cari.net were very responsive
