The Entmoot Database
As most of you know, we have been experiencing problems with the database for the last 3 days. Some are able to get to Entmoot and some aren't. It is still a mystery as to why, but for those of you who can get here, I wanted to let everyone know that I was able to contact Ben last night, and he is working on the problem. Hopefully this will be resolved and we will be back to normal soon.

Mooters present seem to be using www.entmoot.com as the URL, instead of http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com .

Thank you, Sister Golden Hair, Ben, Earniel, Valandil and the rest of the staff for getting our Entmoot back on the horse. It would be so, so messed up if we lost our mootingplace forever! God, I was worried there for a couple days. I was seriously worried. Is there a way you can easily mass-e-mail the members, so that all of the mooters can be notified of the address change? A lot of members may not be able to figure out to put www.entmoot.com, I know I didn't. Grey Wolf & Butterbeer let me know about the change. Do you think that this is a thing you guys in administration can do, that is the mass e-mail notification?

Grey_Wolf and I have discussed creating a email group for just such occassions. If you still wish to do that GW, go ahead and set it up. Sorry I haven't gotten back in PM with you on that. I don't see a problem with it though. Sounds like it could be a helpful tool, since I have received a number of emails and IMs since this problem started. I'm sure Ben's Tolkientrail email will no doubt be overwhelmed.

Yeah -Ben working on the problem means that it will be resolved in a few months tops - It is odd that http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/ is not working.
Just use entmoot.com - I've had no problems. entmoot.com has been around for at least 4-5 years - its nothing recent or new. True, if you were not here when it was announced the couple times that it was announced then you wouldn't know about it. I suppose an announcement could be made on TT home page and the link could be changed to entmoot.com. But Ben would have to do that. Entmoot.com as a way to reach the board was started 3/28/2001 (before this vbulletin even) - and since 2003 we've actually owned the domain. (reference thread http://entmoot.com/showthread.php?t=1067 ) And now you know

Well, we can send out mass emails to the members - I think that that was a question asked. Those who selected not to recieve admin emails wouldn't get them though. In the control pannel under "users" then "send email to users"
Since a lot of the members don't know about entmoot.com - it might be a good idea to send out a mass email.

I noticed this. I always used entmoot.tolkientrail.com , but when that error started coming up I tried www.entmoot.com and its been fine.

surely you can email all the members- this must in fact be terribly easy provided you have the authority to do so.
Also it is very easy to add a sig or link to all of the email notifications sent out adding the entmoot.com link ...really isn't hard. also a code redirect from the tolien trial URL to the to entmoot.com URL is very easy also also - why not just add a simple BOLD line to the error message in tolkien trial giving the alternate URL???? whats all this about a centralised public email list? I do not beleive anyone signed up to that when we joined? Have you guys thought this through???? I would be very careful with it if i were you. Best all, BB |

If you think it is so BAD then perhaps I should SHELVE the entire project.
It was just meant as a HELPFUL functÃ*on for people. |

BB - I just posted about an hour before your post that we can easily send out mass emails, etc. We will do so if we think it to be nescessary.

It was a good idea, GW, and very thoughtful of you, as long as you used only publically-available email addys. Even if you didn't, it was still thoughtful and kind of you to help out, which in my book is the important thing
I think that's a good idea that BB brought up, Hobbit - can you just add a link to the error msg page?

I got through to the tech support at my host, and they fixed it up. Should work for all now. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Also - this absolutely flooded my Tolkien Trail e-mail account! I signed in last night and had twenty thousand error messages in there, and they kept coming in at the rate of one every three seconds.
