HEADS-UP: Forums suffered a hard disk crash

In case you find that something you posted or read isn't here today, wanted to let you know that our vendor informed us that while they were performing routine maintenance, the machine on which we are hosted suffered a hardware failure.

They immediately began swapping the necessary hardware to restore the machine. Unfortunately all the hard drives in the machine were corrupted beyond our immediate repair. As such, they restored the machine to a backup from previous day (May 23 at 00:00 PT).

They are currently working with their own vendor to see if they can restore the data on the corrupted hard drives, but if they do, they will still be unable to merge that with what is live now.

However, they can give us access to the data if there is something we need to extract from the corrupted backup.

They apologize for the loss of data associated with this hardware failure.
