With two major incidents per year, OSGrid has become accustomed to this kind of situation, with the result being a total loss of inventory. That's hardly surprising when you consider the choice of database engine. MyISAM is not a transactional engine, so corruption is inevitable.
Given all the donations and the fees paid by regions, one has to wonder where the collected money is going. Implementing server redundancy and setting up a standby database are not insurmountable challenges.
I own two private grids and have been administering infrastructures and databases for several decades, and I have never seen outages lasting several weeks.
My grids run on multiple PostgreSQL databases with standby replicas, a redundant fsasset service, and two fallback asset services backed by databases.
And no, contrary to what I keep reading, OSGrid is not OpenSimulator. Even without OSGrid, the OpenSimulator project would continue.
Furthermore, I find the behavior of the administrators unacceptable. Whenever the issue is brought up, they are quick to ban people. For a community that claims to be open and transparent, I find that rather questionable.
