There is a topic in the
JavaRanch forum for discussing items like JavaRanch (which may be why the forum is called "JavaRanch" and not "EJB Certification (SCBCD)"

). It is generally a good idea to check in the JavaRanch forum from time to time (especially after experiencing a problem) as that is where
all general announcements are made.
For what its worth, if software caches messages in memory, and the server crashes, then messages will be lost (note the "if" there - I have not tried to read the source code to find out if this is the case for UBB).
Likewise if the hard drive crashed, then data will be lost - this site is not a commercial site, and
so far nobody has volunteered to purchase a RAID system (yes - you could be the first to offer

).
Please continue any further discussions in "
Saloon Server went down June 3, 2005. Posts lost".
