Server Issues

[Brad]

Our server crashed this afternoon and the database was damaged beyond repair. We were forced to use a backup from yesterday morning and ultimately lost the last 36 hours of forum activity. I apologize for the inconvenience that will create for some members. If I can be of assistance to anyone please don't hesitate to send a pm or email.

Thanks for your hard work and diligence - and for letting us know ... I got a bit confused last night, reading "new posts" that I _knew_ I'd read a couple of days ago, lol!

Thank you everyone for your understanding and kind words. That was the first time we lost data in the site's ~10 year history.

Yeah, I guess things could have been much worse
We've always taken daily backups and will probably increase that rate.

It was the home page for the last few hours of downtime.
