[QUOTE=Frogging101;31424174]Ignore me (No really, just don't answer) if this disrupts your work at all, but what kind of things are you trying?[/QUOTE] frog we are repeatedly trying to get the vpn back up. so we are still trying to get stuff working ...we won't stop til we have to!!
[QUOTE=ter2001;31424679]frog we are repeatedly trying to get the vpn back up. so we are still trying to get stuff working ...we won't stop til we have to!![/QUOTE] It is kinda working, i am very slowly downloading. Went to sleep for a few hours and i have downloaded more people from the world file. Don't give up guys. Much love. [editline]30th July 2011[/editline] Well, either it's working or it's just going through the player files it hasnt downloaded yet?
I am guessing no one has heard anything about possible refunds? Should I guess it is just a lost cause.
I feel lucky I did regular drive backups... But I still have a question. In those files we could maybe access soon enough, is there only our worlds, or also the plugin folders ? If I could spare me the trouble of re-doing all the plugins, that would be lovely.
[QUOTE=Vinsssounet;31424798] But I still have a question. In those files we could maybe access soon enough, is there only our worlds, or also the plugin folders ? [/QUOTE] Yes they do. That is the first thing my community took from ours, worlds can be rebuilt or started anew. Plugins are a pain in the rear end to redo. [editline]30th July 2011[/editline] Oh my, it was back up for about a minute there!
Just to be sure I'm doing this right. I've found my account in the user list. So, adding it to the folder it's inside, it looks like [url]http://brovpn.hexxeh.net:10017/VINCENTP/[/url] I just have to try reach with adress with my browser ? There's no way to access those files with a ftp client ? Thanks guys.

[QUOTE=amcfaggot;31389145] Working on [URL="http://code.google.com/p/hl2sb/"]Half-Life 2: Sandbox[/URL], which is what I was doing prior to Brohoster taking up a majority of my life.[/QUOTE] So another Garry's Mod huh?

Well, it was a wild ride. I couldn't connect long enough to get anything but our permissions file. Thanks again guys, you had absolutely no obligation to do this. I have given what I can, and I encourage everyone else here to [U]DONATE![/U]
Wanted to thank you in advance for the work you've been doing. If there's any chance someone can recover DAVIDR4 for me, it would be epically awesome. We just want our world file, which wasn't too big to begin with, and nothing more. Going to merge it into the current server we just restarted after all of this madness on the edge. I'm trying to check for myself but unfortunately have not had the luck to be on when it hiccups back into play. We were on Washington server, I'm not sure where it's going to be stuck at. Thanks in advance if anyone can help me! :D
[QUOTE=NateTheFisher;31421880]SL should be open for a minimum a couple more hours, and I believe by the tone of their voices in the call center concerning Matt, that they are very upset with the situation. The service executive said he's done "all he legally can" as well. Something tells me that SL might not reformat those drives anytime soon. I hope that is the case as some of you haven't been as fortunate as I in recovering files. Hexxeh has no association with Brohoster, is actually losing money from the ordeal, is the only reason we had/have access to the files, and is the freaking man. Andrew (amc) is a former BH staff member who has worked with Hexxeh in reverseproxying the boxes and keeping the VPN running. Ter2001 has also been helping with the boxes and keeping this thread informed. A very special thanks to these three individuals for going out of their way to be good people. Jake, the old founder/owner of Brohoster, (the good guy), has opened up his own site for gameserver hosting called LethalDrive. [url]http://www.lethaldrive.com/[/url] I hear he is amazing at what he does, and I loved his servers before, so I chose to rehost there. Use the promo code LAUNCH for 25% off forever. Jake has been MIA for the recovery, but has been working on getting the new servers up all day. (I just played the test server and it looks promising). He has also decided to rehire the old Brohoster staff if they choose. I'd also like to give my regards to the hundreds of those that have yet found out about the recent system shutdown, because they may have missed their only chance to recover their hard work. From the activity on this thread, facebook, steam, and mibbit, it looked like there were about 270 users who attempted to recover their data out of the proposed 3070 servers. So you all have my thanks, this was a suspenseful ordeal conducted by a trio of three good-doers, and and endless list of grateful users.[/QUOTE] we haven't given up yet!!!! add tyler (i dunno his fp name) and larry they have both worked damn hard behind the scenes to get things running as long as we did. but we aren't done....we do need some sleep lol but we haven't given in yet!!! [editline]30th July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=IWannaWin;31421219]The files at brovpn.hexxeh.net are from the brohoster servers which can only be accessed via VPN. Hexxeh wanted to be nice and redirect all traffic via his VPN. AFAIK, we don't know the exact time/date. Because it would take too much time and ressources. Hexxeh's doing this just to be nice. I don't think he's going to want to have to spend a lot of money on this. Who knows? Picking up a hooker?[/QUOTE] seriously disrespectful. if you had half a fucking clue what hex did and has done for everyone here you would not have said that. hex has worked just as hard as the ex-bh staff and other community members to help YOU the bh customers save shit, as best we can. not only that has provided the info and tools to even have things running as they were. he had a camping trip planned before this and still took the time to help us. not only that likely got in shit from his gf because he was late picking her up...saturday morning from work to leave. so your comment is not fucking cool! [editline]30th July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=TibTuner04;31420961]honestly, i know SL got screwed by Matt but they should be the bigger company and allow us as customers that also got screwed to get our files off the servers. Its the right thing to do. None of us could help that BH owed them that much money...we all paid our bills :([/QUOTE] totally agree on some of this. we ALL got screwed by matt. bh the name, the fucking team of people behind it, what it means to us as staff, customers...it's still there. don't let one asshole fuck up the whole pot. we are still working and will continue to do so til we have no option but to give in! if we aren't successful, then we aren't.....but NO ONE can say we didn't fucking try!

I have emailed namecheap.com and I provided the invoices but they say they cannot provide the domain to me if I don't give them a copy of my ID and a bill with an address and name. But the problem is I don't pay any bills... what the heck am I supposed to do.[/QUOTE] gord to this one...i don't have an answer. only because i never handled these issues. these were all in matt's area "of expertise" if you will. i honestly don't even know what we can do to help. if you have a suggestion or anything please pm me. we will help as best we can!

We'll see you next time the sun shines (which just set here in NZ a couple of hours ago so you've got plenty of time to rest). One request - which I'm sure you guys have already considered - is to stick a post up here when its confirmed that SoftLayer has killed the servers. That way those of us that have been watching the thread since it was started 30 something hours ago will know that our time is up. Thanks for everything so far. Teal

Back from my sleep, VPN still down? Also some of you seem misinformed of where Hexxeh is. He's at Camp Facepunch and it's quite a long ride for most people getting there.
Hi, Only just found out about all this when I tried to log onto my server and it didn't work. I realise I'm pretty late to the party and the chances of getting my world back are getting slimmer by the minute, but on the off chance that it does become possible to the vpn's again, I am a bit worried that my username (DANC) doesn't appear in the client list. Is there any reason why I'm not there?
(note: praise for brohost exclues the person who fucked it up (matt I think?)) Ok I'm sorry but I have a few things to say. Would you jerks stop bashing amc and JWJ? They clearly had the best intentions in mind and we're DEDICATED to customer satisfaction. I honestly don't see the issue that the BroHoster guys were ambicious and wanted to get the whole thing set up despite the legality over the matter... Honestly, the dedication that BroHoster has had to its customers imho was class. Honestly while things could've been thought-out better and planned, you guys have no fucking right to be a bunch of arseholes to these guys. You lost money? Congrats so have I. I have 2,000 dollars+ I've lost due to a contract... And might I just add, that minecraft is still just [i] A GAME?! [/i] I mean god... Is minecraft worth freaking out over? No.... Is your families health worth freaking out over? FUCK YES. And to the people freaking out over the domains, Maybe BroHoster can't legally give them out? Maybe they've lost access? [b]Is it so hard to think slightly deeper over being enraged?[/b] "You have no right to tell someone to 'get the fuck out' who had their money stolen. " uhh... There's a difference between complaining like an adult and whining like a baby who doesn't [b]deserve[/b] their money back for whining. Prove your age man. "The entire staff of Brohoster hated every single little thing Matthew was doing, including this. They were trying to bring it back to where we had it back in the glory days - so don't any of you dare blame them for any issues you had at Brohoster. They put their blood sweat and tears into that company more than I ever did and they kept doing it until the last second. " ^ Absolutely True I'm sorry but seeing all the whining really gets on my nerves.. And in the end. Moneys just a stupid piece of paper. Sorry if I'm a bit late but, y'know..
Hi guys, Im busy over the next day, if this comes back online, can someone download the "server/" folder because this is my world file from TOMC2 [url]http://brovpn.hexxeh.net:10006/TOMC2/GameServers/TC23773385828810743671552/[/url] Would be much appreciated.. If someone does can you drop me a pm so it can be emailed to me. Thanks.
Throughout the entire uptime of the VPN we've been fetching as many world files, configuration files, database files and more. Follow @ZCT_2011 to find out if your world has been saved. In the meantime enjoy this: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/OAWnEl.jpg[/IMG]
I only just noticed this and tried to download my server, but I wasn't able to get it entirely. If someone could help me out by getting the world folder for me and email it then that would be incredible! Me and my friends have spent hours on this server and they would be completely devastated if all that work would be lost. Here's my world folder: [url]http://brovpn.hexxeh.net:10015/ALEXANDERDANV/GameServers/TC56870184735118067240738/world/[/url] Please help us! You're our only hope!

Thanks for the work you guys have been putting in. I haven't been able to find/access my world data yet. My IP was 50.23.67.136:25592 which the spreadsheet said should be on mc2.sjc.bh.vc. (Although I think I did see the mc2 list page at one point and it wasn't there? Unsure). Username BENP3. Any chance someone is able to access the level/world data? (Whatever it is that I need to move the map over to new server is all I need. Should be relatively small.) Is just level.dat what is needed? I'd appreciate a bunch. Didn't have chance to backup because we had started a new world literally the day before shutdown, which we put a lot of work into. =/
