And we're back... sort of!

Hi guys, as you've probably noticed, we've been kind of offline for the past few days. As you've probably guessed, this was due mainly to a combination of voodoo magic, corporate sabotage, and a freak accident which somehow caused MySQL to uninstall itself and take our database with it.

What this basically means is that we've lost every bit of data from the past 3 or so weeks; including but not limited to articles, comments, ratings, profile info, and any of the new site features installed in that time.

While we're far from 100% right now, we're working our asses off to try and get everything back online as soon as possible. We hope you'll bear with us as we attempt to track down and repost articles that were lost to the sands of time; which brings me to my next topic:

yay for being back! maybe we should implement some kind of policy for editors or authors to save a copy of stuff in word (pretty easy for the authors, assuming that they write in a word progressing program)
I will begin replicating what I can.
Unlucky guys :( I hope the process of getting back on top of things goes smoothly for you, that looks like a sad amount of great content to have lost :(
