"Sorry for the delay in relaying this information to you guys. The site is currently running off a backup server right now. HMW will be down for the next 72 hours until this problem is resolved. Apparently the database server had a bad scuzzy drive which has been causing the problems with the bad database tables, according to ThePlanet (the company which hosts Seibertron.com's servers). This would explain why I wasn't able to create proper backups of the Forums, Demiurgic City and Heavy Metal War. Hopefully once this issue is resolved, everything will be back to normal. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused any of you."

So we'll have lost HMW data?

I updated my statement above. I meant to say "during the past few months" to the part you bolded. The only think that looks like had become corrupted this time were the private messages for some reason. I haven't had a chance to look at mine yet.

So all HMW data is still good?

Yes, it should be A.O.K. from first glance.

edit: to be clear about it I'm getting posts for what would be the first page (which would be the most recent) it's the other 6 I'm having the no topics or posts message.

Hm ... that might be an unrelated issue. It seems that the posts are all here, at least for the topics that have tested so far. I'll have to look into the other issue later or it might just have to be dealt with when I switch us over to the new forum system.

I'd believe it if it was unrelated, I just felt now's a good time to bring it up. Thanks for all the hard work Ryan!

Do you know how long this problem has been going on with the page that you mentioned? If it's something that has been going on longer than the past 24 - 48 hours, then it's unrelated. If that problem started happening today, then it's most likely related somehow.

Definitely unrelated then. I can't remember when it first started, just that it's been more than 48 hours. Hmn. Not too long ago I noticed that everything before whatever should be on page 7 now was gone. I didn't mind so much because I know for sure that I had some links to images that were too big to post here that are definitely not there now. Didn't effect my post count; I'm pretty sure 751 (not counting this one, which makes it 752) is accurate. Just no posts.
