Sorry about the site issues everyone! That was my bad. I hadn't realized that the server was using an old configuration that was meant for the other server, so it was causing memory-related issues. I implemented a fix and hopefully it'll hold up.

BDRyan here (aka IkarosBD), just a quick heads-up that I have dropped my old persona and adopted a new one. I'm still the same 'ol person as before, just new name.

Sorry about the outage. Not sure what happened there. Everything appears back to normal now, but I'll be monitoring through the night.

LostYears' SSSS.GRIDMAN ep 3 will be released later tonight. Einherjar batch will be done Saturday morning. Sorry for the delays, I'm dealing with quite a bit at the moment.

Sorry guys I'm just really out of it today. Lot of personal issues I'm having with certain individuals, leading to a lack of motivation to do anything.

And yes, my XDCC bot is down. Don't ask why. Personal issues.

Quick question for all: Would you like to see more from me, such as maybe adding another method or two of grabbing LostYears releases aside from XDCC and torrents?

LAAAAAG (when exiting a game such as GTA V)...

Also...

I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

Due to continued server problems at AniDex - our automated XDCC fetching is not currently functioning at this time. New releases for LostYears are especially affected by this and will likely not be transferred to XDCC until our XDCC bot owners are able to transfer the files manually from other sources (or we get lucky and AniDex somehow responds during a feed check). We apologize for the inconvenience.

I am in an IMMENSE amount of pain right now. It hurts more when I'm up and walking after 3-4 minutes, mostly in my lower back.

That is why I'm minimizing my activity at this time. I will be cutting back on any non-work activity (including the IRC network and the forums) so my back can get proper rest.

Just an FYI: I've done some reorganizing of the Discord server roles. I THINK I got everyone's roles correctly assigned. However, if you're a member of our Discord server, could you please go there and check your current assigned roles to make sure I didn't miss anything? If I did (e.g you're supposed to have the Donator role, for example, or Uploader, or something else), please let me know. Thanks.

*sigh*

A quick note to everyone: I will be taking a hiatus from administration. This is due to a number of things, but I also did sort of warn this could happen back at the end of May, and it's looking like that, in order to maximize my productivity at work, it is necessary.

I haven't yet decided if I'm leaving administration entirely. I do not yet feel that itself is necessary. But I do feel my ability to make fair decisions is impacted by my work schedule and the lack of sleep caused by it.

Effective immediately, I will no longer be handling forum matters for a period of 2 months. I will continue to perform regular work on the server itself. Just not on the forums.

Apologies for the sudden downtime. A pretty nasty issue was noticed with the webserver during routine updates, that necessitated its downtime in order to fix the problem. This specific problem was related to the webserver log files not rotating properly and thus were consuming excessive amounts of disk space.

The webserver had to be stopped in order to move the log files out of the way.

Friendly reminder: Site maintenance WILL be going forward as scheduled on July 1st at 9:30 AM CDT (2:30 PM GMT). Maintenance window is 2.5 hours, actual expected downtime is up to one hour. REMEMBER to join us on IRC and/or our Discord server to stay connected with the rest of the community and staff (including myself)!

Sorry about the longer-than-expected downtime. Apparently I'm going to have to actually firewall off all connections except those of the SSL CA during renewal in order to prevent connection overloading. This overloading caused the verification process to fail, necessitating another attempt to initiate the certificate renewal.

Heads-up: I'll be renewing the SSL certificate for the server shortly. There may be a BRIEF moment of downtime. Apologies in advance.

Reactivated maintenance announcement. It's looking very definite that I'll be able to do the maintenance work *FINALLY* next weekend.

No details have changed regarding the maintenance itself.

Cancelling the aforementioned maintenance outright. First had to postpone it, now I have family obligations I must take care of. Oh and yes, life obligations as well...as usual.

The announcement bar is set to deactivate on June 10th, and has been reduced to just a bar above the message content - the top page bar has been deactivated already. I'll reactivate the announcement when I have a much more solid idea of when I'll be able to tend to the site updates.

Sorry folks, no maintenance got done today. I had work obligations - believe it or not the training I'm going through necessitates a bit of at-home reading to get an advantage on learning the material. That, and I had major sleep issues first few nights so I had to rebalance my internal clock.

I've rescheduled it for June 10th but to be quite honest I may just completely call it off.

Day 1 is tomorrow. I'm quite excited (and admittedly, a bit nervous! - I haven't had to get a new job for almost 9 years).

From May 30 until the end of July, I will be unavailable Monday thru Friday - these are my training weeks. I will only be around in very limited capacity during the weekends, or sometimes not at all depending what exactly we're doing, during this time.

You all better be on your best behavior, else I sic a Mod or Koby on you guys

FYI: Starting today, I will no longer be around at all online - that's IRC, forums, Discord, etc - except for a very limited time during weekends, for at least the next 2 months. This is due to my new full-time employment + the need to shift my focus to that.

You can, of course, still leave me private messages during the week but odds are I'm likely not to be able to respond until the following weekend.

Wish me luck in my new venture, and with luck I'll be a little more free after these next 2 months.

Just so everyone knows...my presence here over the next week and a half will be greatly reduced, as I try to prepare myself for the first day of my new job. Also, since I'll be working a full-time schedule Mon-Fri, I will only be here for an extremely limited time both Saturdays and Sundays.

Hello everyone! Just a heads-up we're planning some major server work soon! See the first featured topic at the top of the page for details!

You all better behave now. I will not be around at all Sunday! If our mods report anything to me...

...

...uh, I haven't actually finished that thought yet. Oh well. Just behave!

I GOT THE JOB! WOO HOOOOOO!

In case you're wondering what the outburst of excitement is about - I had an interview today for a new full-time position with a BPO (business process outsourcing) company fulfilling one of their many contracts. I am very, very pleased to announce that I made the cut! WOOOOO!
