Firstly - our sincere apologies for the extended outage over the last several hours. A 48 hour move-timeout suspension is currently in place.

We have experienced data corruption in the database used to store the move histories of RHP games. Although no other area of the site is affected, the net result is that all moves made in games since Monday January 28th at 20:15 GMT have not been correctly recorded. The latest game state of all games however is still correct.

The issue is now fixed with regards to moves made from this point forward but those games affected by the data loss have not yet had their move histories corrected.

We will be considering how best to address this issue with regards to correcting the data and Russ will be online shortly with a more detailed update.

Again, our sincere apologies for this disruption in the service.

-Chris

In the 3 years that i have been playing on RHP this is the first extended outage that you guys have had (that i've noticed). Many thanks for a great site and for all of your work!

Good work on getting it back up guys.
Thanks for all ya do!

A big big big thank you guys for the work you're doing everyday! It's very appreciated by everybody here! 🙂

You guys do a great job! A db corruption can happen and you shouldn't stress over it too much.

thanks for all the hard work to get the site back up and running, guys.

Not to sound ingrateful, but adding 24 hours (or some such value) onto the clock for each game would be a whole lot more useful than a 48-hour timeout suspension. I won't timeout by tomorrow, but I will be giving up precious timebank.

If that's not technically feasible, I understand. Just thought I'd throw the idea out there. If nothing else, maybe something to be considered next time.

Good action on getting it fixed fellas!

Great work, great site. Good going with getting us back up and running.

I agree with adding 24 hours to everyone's games because of the timebanks continuing to deplete. It's not a problem for me, but I think it will be for those on the edge of running out. Just a suggestion.

Okay, we are going again. But what about the lost moves in history? When are the PGNs complete again?

Thanks Chris and Russ for all your hard work and for giving us this wonderful site
