ValueBuddies is back!

If only we have the +like to post.
Im sure you will get alot of likes.

Building servers seems the most difficult thing mentioned to me ever.

It was a good time to practise "Delayed Gratification".... So much so that I didn't even know VB was back online yesterday...

PS. I did have severe withdrawal symptoms on the first day it was down... Thank you VB team for bringing this forum up again!

In Intelligent Investor, it is "Investment is most intelligent when it is most businesslike.". I quoted "Investment is most prudent when it is most businesslike." from Sham Gad's book "The Business of Value Investing". At that time, I was reading the book. I'm too lazy to change the wording, because it's a tedious work for me.

It is a real tedious job to re-build a server, re-configure it, and restore the data back...

It seems some data lost i.e. few hours of posting between last back-up and server crashed...

Yes, we do lose some data from 17 June 2013, 09:51 upto the the wee morning of 18 June 2013

maybe can create an image of currently working environment. next time, no need start from scratch again?

We have a regular backup. The database was based on second latest image. The latest image is unusable because it includes the buggy php-fpm, so the loss of data. I had to start from scratch because I also moved to another hosting provider with increased power - 12 cores CPU, more storage, etc. I had a few bad experiences regarding upgrading with the former hosting company.

The forum will not exist without the contributions from forumers which I cannot name one by one. I just contribute what I'm skillful. Thanks everyone.

Thank you Cyclone for all the hard work!

Life is not the same w/o VB!

Nice to see VB back up again! Tx for making the decision to continue.

Yay! Yay!

Glad to see this place back again

This was such a huge relief.

This forum has been an excellent avenue for value investors to discuss and exchange viewpoints, which I seldom see elsewhere.

I'm actually a little amused that some chaps over at HWZ was speculating that VB was taken down because of MDA licensing scheme or demands by lawyer's letter.

It did not help that I read a parting sentence that seems to give the impression that VB was going away.

I guess like Haze season 2013, sometimes we takes things for granted - like clean air and VB
