Forum Disaster

If you haven't noticed by now the forum was the victim of a very bad turn of events. During the nightly backup, the database server (the place that stores all of the content and user profiles) had a hard drive failure, and in the process corrupted the backup files. :(

We are still looking for ways to recover the data, but that could take us days, weeks, or maybe never. Apologies. In the web site's 12 years, we've had some disasters that were easily recoverable, however we have been able to use the backups to get to the data. We apparently we need to make backups of the backups.

As a result, you will need to re-register and recreate your profile. We apologize for the inconvenience. We're still working to get other systems back online. Please alert us if you see anything that doesn't work properly. Thank you for your patience.
