old Downtime & Damaged Hardware

My hoster had problems with the hardware (harddrive damaged). The files had to be recovered from a backup.
It is possible that some forum posts etc. (made in the last hours) are missing.

Moreover all downloads are missing. I'm currently trying to find out if my hoster has a backup of these files. Worst case would be that all user uploads are lost.

Addition: All user uploads are unfortunately lost. It is not possible to upload new files at the moment. Sorry.

Sh**!
I cant see even some screenshots of downloads...

Is there any possibility that 100% of data will be recovered?

there is a 50% chance that every data could be recovered
only if all users help us
as we know every file is atleast downloaded one time by a forum member so they could help to recover it

DC, can you add "reupload" function?
To change .zip file. (Like with screenshots)

So everyone could help to fix it.

All files are lost. I'm currently busy with uploading the files from Unreal Software which are lost as well.

I'll probably have to delete all uploads in the database. I'll keep the "dead" entries online for one or two weeks so you can save screenshots and descriptions of your uploads to re-upload them again later.

I think I got backup of some of my files but the other ones I will have to reupload. It will take time and effort to restore backup of certain entries.

I hope this won't happen again though.

Nah I only photoshop bad news, because it's much more fun. I didn't even use photoshop but I'm used to saying photoshopped, I used GIMP so I guess I gimped the picture. Also I hope DC's host doesn't collapse again, which I assume it did.

But seriously, DC. You must ask some free stuff from your host

This is how it should go:

The guy who you pay to for hosting messes up
--->
He`s/She`s fault
--->
You complain to he/she
--->
You start a little fight which ends to your win.
--->
He/She offers you free stuff and something like "hosting your stuff for 3 years for free".

Tips:

-Remember to say that your only virtual-copy of mona-lisa fckd-up too so you want millions!!

-Monkeyz

old Crap!
