Hi all,
First, I'd like to apologize for the forum (and indeed the entire website's) absence over the last 30+ hours.
At approximately 11:45am eastern time (1645 GMT) yesterday, we suffered a serious hard drive failure after experiencing problems with this drive for several hours prior.
Contrary to some rumors, the server was not hacked.
Unfortunately, while this forum backs up the database on an hourly basis, it stores the backups on the main hard drive, which does no one any good when the physical hard drive fails, and thus, all posts since the forum switch last Wednesday have been lost.
I apologize for that.
In addition, you'll need to go through the Registration Update procedures that you did when the server move first happened last Wednesday, such as Updating your Username, Editing your profile/preferences, etc. etc.
All logins and passwords have been reset to their counterparts from the old forum system, so if you can't remember that password or login for whatever reason, please e-mail me directly from your registered e-mail address and I'll reset your password for you.
Again, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
Best Regards,
