This situation came from a mix of problems. tSR has operated on several architectures. We recently moved from FreeBSD back to CentOS after a few years. When we moved over you may remember the new site went live immediately; that wasn't planned and the first time we knew there was an issue with the new site was when it went live. As a result some of the scripts I wrote which needed changed after server move got missed.
Just a disclaimer, I didn't mean that in an insulting way and I'm sorry if anyone interpreted it as such
It's just that I make silly mistakes every now and then (as I figure happens from time to time with anyone managing a server) and it'd be nice to know what not to do in advance before I screw up
For example, there was a fun but minor incident when I mixed up the order of arguments to tar and ended up overwriting my Minecrap server's log file instead of backing it up along with the world as I intended

Ahahaha, Don't worry. I found it pretty funny anyway. When something like this happens we should be teased about it; it's the only way to make sure it'll never happen again. Moving the resource sites is always a huge pain in the ass because they need a very specific software setup, couple that with the launch of two new websites at roughly the same time and throw in some errors in scripts causing server load to skyrocket and you've got yourself a situation where important stuff gets missed in favour of glaringly obvious issues.

This. Infinitely many times this.
