Bad new first. We've had a very unusual problem with our database; all post and private message data since December 15 was corrupted, and unfortunately this corrupt data found its way into our nightly backups. As you'll be able to tell we didn't lose all the forum data; users registered during that time are fine, the gallery is OK, as are most other portions of the site. I'm doing what I can to recover the missing data, but at this point it isn't looking good. We're especially sorry that we lost some of the great material posted this past month by Jeff Hull and Vickie, two of our resident experts.
The good news is that we're taking advantage of this down time to make some upgrades to our site. This weekend we're going to keep the forum in read-only mode; you'll be able to browse forums, watch videos, etc..., but you won't be able to post. On Monday we plan to turn on a new, upgraded version of the forum software and gallery. This is going to allow us to do and offer more for our great membership in 2007. We've also got some great videos in our pipeline that I'm sure you'll enjoy. Thanks for your patience, and be sure to visit regularly over the coming weeks!
