Yeah, something like 6wks worth. Hopefully the mods still have vetted versions of the files sitting around so I expect recovery to be quick.

I hope so! Look forward to seeing this back in action again. I even have my first tournament set up ready to be uploaded!

Oh wow.
Good luck with that man.
I'd hate to see this project in peril because of a stupid hosting provider.

Good to hear. Fox, PM me if there's anything I can do. I know I haven't been on AIM or Skype since......Diablo 3 came out

I know I personally haven't deleted anything that I've uploaded just in case something like this happened. I wasn't that involved in the project for the past month and a half though, so it's possible that everything I have is already there.

omfg i apologize to everyone for how long this is taking. i keep running into undocumented issues with the new hosting provider i'm working with. problems that just shouldn't be occurring at all based on what they advertised keep preventing me from getting the site in normal working condition.
anyway, i dont really want to get into details but the point is I'm actively working on it and the site will be back online in the near future. I am, again, very sorry for how long this has taken and how annoying it is to everyone who was growing accustomed to having this data at hand. Sorry, guys

Yeah don't worry too much about it. It'll be great when it's up and running again but no one really has any right to complain regardless of how long it takes to restore. Thanks for all the hard work and the updates.

Hopefully Foxlisk manages to bring it back. With all the efforts he's already put in SSBPD, it'd be sad for it to just die because of the previous host, especially how amazing of a tool it is and could become.
Nintendude
Smash Hero
As far as I know, he's running into memory issues with new hosts.
GKInfinity

Is this a money related issue? You guys could probably get the funding from donations if you need to pay for a better host or something.
The smash database was amazing. <3

I suggested that to Foxlisk but he said that wasnt the problem
I didn't realize how much I had been relying on SSBPD until it went down.

Seriously?
I mean it's super cool and all, but how was it useful at the current stage?

Well it wasn't very useful for its ELO measurements quite yet, but frankly I never understood why everyone was so fixated on that. Thats a minor feature compared to everything else it was offering..(a compendium of smash history, advanced search for the entire player pool, auto seeding at tournaments, youtube links and search, etc)
Learning the distribution of the player pool by character was so ****ing cool. That alone made the project worthwhile.

What exactly were you relying on from SSBPD currently? Skill? Who's better than who? Match history? Bragging rights? Because there was no tournaments going on in Michigan for a while...
Mahie

To which I'll add easy and in-depth access to the latest tournament results.
TheCrimsonBlur
Smash Master
Yup.
The majority of tournaments don't even get put on the tournament results subforum anymore. You have to scour regional threads to know whats going on in other regions, and even then, you won't find all the answers...tournaments nowadays can be run entirely on facebook groups. Some regions don't even use smashboards anymore (internationals especially).
SSBPD made it all easy.

Didn't you email them to me? They should still be in my email then.i dont

I still have the few that I uploaded, so those wouldn't be a problem.
Zivilyn Bane

I have probably 60-70 files, maybe more.
PGH Carroll
Smash Master
oh yeah lol
good call.
good call.
Zivilyn Bane
Smash Master
LOL I was way off. I just checked and I have 395 .tio files that were all on the DB.
Pretty much everything results-related.
Imagine if nobody had saved any stats/results/videos from the last half century of pro sports. It just wouldn't be the same. You couldn't compare anything, players could leave no legacy, and shows like SportsCenter couldn't exist. It seems ridiculous to me now that as recently as last year, if wanted to know the results of ROM 2 or some other past national, you had to search for it on Google/Smashboards and scroll through a wall of text to find the right thread, then click on it only to find out maybe the bracket wasn't saved or the tio file went missing. The SSBPD solved that problem and introduced to us a need that we previously didn't know existed, and I hope it gets back on track soon.
