This thread, Google broken, got me thinking about the times I have brought my own site down due to 'human error'. I can't recall every time I've brought it down, but the last time was about a month ago when I made a change to a script and forgot the semi-colon at the end of the line.

So, how about the rest of you - I can't be the only one who accidentally brings my site down.

each time i hack vBulletin i break something... lately was when i try configuring Lionel's hacks on a non-production site.. i will have to ask Lionel to debug directly on my site because i have like 10 errors per hour.. lol

Great thread Lynne

Oh I would say I used to do this about once a week. Now it's about once a month.

Not the current forum, but i've done it a few times in the past

It's just good to know that anything you do is fixable

I used to break things all the time, luclily the past few years my confidence in getting things fixed has served me well, I guess its all to do with a learning Curve.

It's been a few years... That was when I was "drunk coding".

ROFLMAO ROMS.

hmmm I've added mods that have brought it down, upgraded and a mod broke my board, then had to pick through the dozens to find the culprit. LOL

hmmm, neglected security patches, got hacked... what else?

All in a days work. haha

I actually haven't BROKE anything like the WPOD (white page of death) since my phpbb days. LOL Back then I brought it down all the time. Products and plug ins have spoiled all that fun. haha

Few times before I've managed to 505 everything by mucking around with .htaccess

Last server move I forgot to stop mysql before I copyed the db (should've used hot copy but decided to just copy the files instead) - destroyed the post table thought everything was gone (1.5 million posts) and the last back up failed so I was left with a week old back up. My members would've murdered me if I had used that.

Managed to fix the tables in the end but must've lost a couple of stone in sweat doing it.

Here's me panicking on vb.com

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
