WE ARE BACK!

By Ovidiu Dumitru·
Hello community,

I would like to start by deeply apologizing to you, our users, for this situation.

Secondly, I'm very happy that we have finally managed to get back online.

What happened?
Huge, monumental problems at our service provider firm. Our HDD died on us all of a sudden. In that moment, we lost everything. And I mean everything. I cannot even say what we went through in those moments. And to be quite honest I don't even want to remember. We went to hell and back.
The guys over there did their job very fast and within minutes, the HDD was replaced with a brand new one. And here is where our nightmare started. We had no backups anymore, since the daily ones were located on that HDD.

We found then a backup on one of our external storages, but that one was from March 2013. Imagine the feeling we went through. We simply refused to think that's the only one available.

So after few more days of searching, we found this one, from October 2014, which is also the final one as you can see.
This is clearly better than the other choice, but it's still not the best. Months of frontpage work has been lost.

As far as our demos and maps go, we are confident we can get them all up to date, as in before the blackout. Just be patient few more days until we can upload them all, that if we will have any luck with our plan.

What's next?
First of all, like I said, our main objective at this moment is to get back up to date the WR list and the MAP pool.

After that, as well as in the meantime, we will try to start our daily activities step by step, thus getting back on track with our previous plans.

The rest of our future plans are still a priority to us. You will see more news regarding this in the near future.

I guess this is it for now. I'm just happy we are finally back and that we can start working to get the website back to our daily activities.

If you have any questions, please use the comment section below. I will answer answer each and everyone of them.

Thanks a lot to OddYsseus, faker and SadPuppy for their work to bring us back.
And thanks to all of you for your interest and support.

Best regards,
Ovidiu Dumitru
CEO of XJ

welcome back

I just wanna tell you: Thanks guys! Even though I never jumped much counter-strike 1.6 and source will always be part of my life - spent all holiday and highschool jumping/climbing in it (mainly CS:S) and I loved those times even though they ate time I could have used for more socially useful things and you here bring back all the memories and the passion. For this nostalgical feeling I truly thank you. I've kept on checking the site frequently since the beginning of 2007. Keep it up! [/sentiment]

Well, better than nothing!

19/02/2015 16:35:00

Backing up to the same hdd kind of defeats the purpose of backing up. I hope you learned your lesson. It's a shame

19/02/2015 18:00:00

It's not like this website makes any profits. We're working with what we can afford. It was a risk we were willing to take.

19/02/2015 18:15:00

The webserver hardware setup was changed from a RAID 1 to a normal HDD only when we migrated to a new server a few months ago, to get a lot more horse power regarding CPU (8c/16t), ram (32gb) and the ability to host a few gameservers on the same root server in the future, too. I/we were supposed to download backups manually, at least once a week, what I did for a certain period of time (have to admit I forgot about it some weeks lately, as I'm in a lot of private stress), but as those things go with our beloved hardware at times... when I plugged that external HDD back into my eSata hot dock I realized it was gone for good, too. Murphy's law at its best ;)

19/02/2015 18:40:00

We all know you take the donations to buy knife! ahah

19/02/2015 17:50:00

g00dj0b, I hope it doesn't goes the same in the future.

19/02/2015 18:16:00

20/02/2015 11:06:00

This would have been the perfect oppurtunity to just let XJ go

21/02/2015 20:25:00

It would have been too stupid to end like that ... atleast give a proper last farewell :)

07/03/2015 05:27:00

I've been vising this site for 10 years now, great to see it back online. It would have been a shame to loose XJ.
