Welcome Back! Sorry about the long downtime and the delay. There were some problems when we switched servers, and some of the information wasn't backed up correctly. This lead to long hours of painstakingly recreating the forums. As of now, we have all of your posts restored up, but we lost the information that contains which forum the topics were posted in, as well as topic titles and descriptions. -------------------- |

Haha. This is the easy part compared to having to restore the databases and recreate some of the tables from scratch. The backup we had only had about 90 of the 100 or so tables that we needed. Luckily we weren't missing the tables with posts or the forum skin or anything. But we lost the tables with the topics and a few other ones.
So for a while, we could even get the posts back because there is no way to access them without going through the topics first. I had to create a php script to sort through every post and manually recreate each topic, and then populate a special forum with all of the topics once it was done. We are lucky that it worked. For a while, we thought we might lose all of the posts ![]() -------------------- |

It's nice to have the skin back too, rather than IPB Blue

I'll help sort the topics if you let me ![]() We appreciate the offer to help, but we feel that it is best if we sort to topics so that we can make sure they all go to the right places (and if they don't, then people know who to blame haha). Also we have material that will be released in our next pack, which, by the way, is coming very soon. -Lum Staff -------------------- |
