    <Xianti> hey, guys. Our host is currently working on restoring our site from backups. The primary hard disk failed. The HTML site is currently back online, but the database is not yet (no forums). No knowing when they'll restore the DB. They're working on it now. Some data may have been lost, but we aren't sure yet. Once online, if you notice posts missing, please let me know

    Ugh...

    Apparently, they last backed up our site on January 14th. It seems we've lost everything created after that date... including the blog entries.

    Terribly sorry, guys. I'm going to sleep this off now.

    I think it would be good in the future for bloggers to back up thier own stuff, just incase. Probably wont happen again, but .. you know..

    Ah. Now I see.

    I've been in the SnG forum today thinking "jesus, who is dredging up all these threads?"

    Also i posted in one of my threads that it ended up being a bad beat post. Came back today, i thought someone had just completely deleted it!

    And then i was like "wtf"
    and then we were like "dude"
    and then i was all "no way"
    and then he was like "that sucks"
    and i was all like "man that blows"
    and then we were just "that is so not cool"
    and then...

    AND THEN?

    AND THEN?

    I refuse to play your chinese food mind games.

    It looks like the restoration from the Jan 14 backup was successful. We'll have more information later.

    Thanks for your patience.

    Sorry about that. We figure questions will be answered faster if they are organized in one central place.

    One good thing that's come out of this is that our pages are loading faster now. Hopefully, the sql database errors we'd been haunted with the past couple months were also related to the hard drive going bad.

    Aaah.. yes. Another example of a recent oddity that can be attributed to the failing hard disk.

    Also, a couple months ago, at least one regular member's account was mysteriously made inactive. At the time, we Admins thought someone had somehow gained access to one of our Admin accounts (which is the only way an account can be deactivated). All 3 of us changed our passwords that day.


    I think a lot of strange, unexplained things in the past few months can likely be blamed on the bad disk.
