Finally found the rules, and it states; "We would prefer that you do not post pictures of fish caught out of season" I'll try my best and thanks for the heads up IrishField.

TheMaverick Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Shouldn't there be a "NF" after "Fish-Hawk" in this thread's title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitespinnerbait Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 My understanding is that Bobber will be back on the 28th and then it will be attended to. Cheers 28th of May ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitespinnerbait Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Based on another forum post, I believe they were hacked (phpBB vulnerability I think?) and are trying to recover from it. Must be having quite the struggle trying to recover !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Give them a chance. We had a bit of a problem in '06 and if I remember correctly, we were down for almost two days with full power (everyone helping) working on the problem. It'll get done.

Gerritt Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't take the rules too seriously... seems they are quite liberal in their application.. different strokes for different folks all depends on who you are it seems... No sound foundation, and freely interpreted given a single persons mood....from mod to mod... They would prefer if you dont post OOS fish.... So tell them you caught them in NY or Arkansas.. their is always a work around... as there is with their spam rules etc etc etc... I am a long time member... and this board has become deplorable as of late, good luck to the new generation of OFC'rs... you're going to need it! the way it is being ran... some mods are NEVER heard from.. I can think of 3... 1 Mod has had enough and is staying away, One is from the southern states and does his best.. and 1 mod that has decided it is his dictatorship.. I call Bull when I see it. and this is Bull. Timje for the Mods to figure this crap out as you are losing you membership... It's a free for all open to a mods interpretation...

Gerritt Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Not bitten you at all Art..infact I acknowledged you were one of the few making a difference here...from 1000 miles away? It turned public in another thread... and I have no way to talk to you guys as a collective... people are talking more then you may be aware.. perhaps it is time for the team to come together and hammer this out... as it stands right now, it is becoming VERY divisive....

I don't mean to be negative, but a full team on a well supervised and structured forum (TackleTour) is still sorting out the bugs. It's been almost 3 weeks and it's still not back today.

TheMaverick Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 "Please be advised that a major disaster has happened with the Fish-Hawk site! As you all may have noticed, Fish-Hawk.Net has been down for quite some time now. I have been away on vacation since April 11, and was unaware of the problems until I returned on April 27th. Since then I have been exploring the issue, and working with my service provider to try and have it resolved. After a week of conversing with them, we have discovered that the Fish-Hawk database, which basically is the heart of the site, has simply "disappeard". Powweb (Service Provider), has informed me that they do NOT have my database on any of their servers, nor do they have any backups of the database. Their retention period for backed up data is only 3 days, upon which the old data is removed and they have no means to retrieve it. Since I was away for longer than 3 days, I was not able to catch this in time. They have also checked their logs to find out what happened, however only have a short period of retention for those as well. As you can imagine, I'm incredibly disappointed in these retention periods and their methods upon removing old backups when new backups were not successful. 3 days isn't even enough time to soak something new, and I have expressed this to them with no avail at this point in time. At this point, I will need to take a step back and explore my options for the continuation of the Fish-Hawk entity, in order to determine the best method upon which to proceed. I will be further exploring my own local test sites, to see if I have some version of the database I can restore, from either the migration to the new platform when we changed the look of the site, or the upgrade to phpBB3 I did about a year ago. To all users of the site: I do apologize for this inconvenience, particularly at this time of year when we're all looking forward to getting back into the swing of things, and ask for your continued patience while I figure this mess out. To all Advertisers and Supporters of the site: Please do not process any advertising payments to Fish-Hawk for 2013 until further notice. For those of you who have paid already, I do thank you, however may be returning your payments to you, depending on how I resolve this issue, and your feeling of being able to successfully fulfill my obligations to you. Once again, please accept my deepest apologies, and hopefully I'll be able to do something to get this site back up and running, so you can all get your fix of Fishing Talk once again."

RJackson Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Apologies to the admin at OFC if this ruffles any feathers... Rob has posted an explanation as to where things are at with the site. Coles notes version is the provider lost the database of 12 years of content. Can you imagine. Rob is weighing his options at this point as to what course to take moving forward. His message is here... http://www.fish-hawk.net/ RJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
