Recent downtime and loss of data

Rexxie · 12-05-2007, 07:50 AM

Welcome back..

Sorry about the recent downtime. We had some major problems with the server and had to do a complete reinstall. Problems usually follow an upgrade/reinstall, so we've been trying to fix these for a while now.

Due to the control panel we're using and it's lame-ass backup function, we've lost a couple of days data. Sorry about that, but I hope that almost everything should be back to normal. I'm glad I learned the backup lesson a long time ago and had a very recent backup... So to anyone else that has any critical data: remember to back it up!

Anyway, sorry again.
