Site Problems ...

Due to an unfortunate accident earlier, I accidentally deleted the entire database while performing some tasks for an upcoming project I am working on for the site. Everything was deleted.

Fortunately, I had a back up of the database from February 8th so we didn´t lose everything. Sure it sucks that we lost our post counts from the last 6 weeks, over 300 news posts, our HMW stats, 13 photogalleries, and a whole slew of other stuff I had worked on during this time frame, but we´re all still here and we can continue forward. I know it´s depressing ... but there´s nothing we can do.

I will write a script in the next week or two that automatically generates a backup of the database once per week so that we won´t have to deal with this problem again in the future. I´m sorry this happened ... just be glad that you aren´t on my end of the spectrum. I´ve got a lot of work ahead of me to get everything back up to speed.

In the meantime, let´s just grin and bear it and move on. Within 2 weeks we´ll never know the difference.

Please report any bugs that you find here at the Energon Pub.
