The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

webfork has discussed with me quite a long time back about contingency planning i.e. if I get knocked down by a bus, what happens to all the data the community has painstakingly created. But I was lazy and procrastinated on it, so this has been sitting on my todo.

Recently, I finally got down to writing a script to automatically backup the source code and database daily to a location that is password-protected and can be downloaded by webfork and guinness. So in the case of my untimely demise, you guys know who to look for.

Thanks!

What if you, web, and guinn where all on the same bus or plane and it crashes? Gotta think of all the possibilities. Like a disaster draft for sports teams or something lol. Maybe keep passcode in a safe deposit box somewhere and in an event of something like that happening it will get released to a list of trusted people. Probably overkill but yeah lol.

Put another way -- barring something really extraordinary -- the site is here to stay.

Good.

Won't happen. They're stealth.

The chance of that happening is probably lower than an intelligent politician arising within my lifetime.
