Hey guys,

Just an update on the site downtime.

One of the drives on the server died, sadly of the multiple drives in the server it was the one with all the important stuff on it... no surprise there

Host replaced the drive after I told them I had a backup.

Equally sadly, having a backup and getting a backup restored in a timely manner are two entirely different things and let just say this has been a learning experience regarding making assumptions about shit

The tracker itself should be up pretty soon, part of the delay was me actually being human (unlike Gordo) and requiring sleep... But that has been dispensed with and we should be right to get this all sorted out.

The forum is what's causing the problems at this stage, the database dump that backed up the forum isn't being cooperative and restoring without dying in the middle from some obscure errors.

So I'll bring the tracker back up and make sure that's working and then get to working out what's wrong with the forum.

So your normally scheduled leeching should be able to resume sometime soon...

I can also see some likely freeleech time in all your futures too.
