Dear All

As most of you are aware by now the forum shut down suddenly on Friday the 13th June, at first it was thought it was just another temporary crash due to sql database issues. It became evident on Saturday it was much more serious than this as the websites for various companies, email and forums hosted had all stopped working. After conversations with the host company host-easy we were advised that the main and one of the back up drives had failed and shutdown. On Sunday night the host company engineer got to the data centre to assess the damage and two drives were completely shot. Work started then over the next few days to setup a temporary server and try and recover the data from the third drive, we have now managed to recover some of the data and restore as much of the site as is possible in the short time we have had. Unfortunately we are struggling to recover the SQL databases that conain all the forum posts, log ins etc (the important bits). Our Host company are sending the drive off to be professionally recovered and we are confident that we will get the data and put the forum back to the point it crashed. This will take some time and we just ask for your patience while we undertake this costly task.We would like to apologise to all members for the lack of warning and the downtime of the site due to these unforeseen and uncontrollable circumstances. A new server is now being procured and will be put in place in a few weeks time; this will require minimal downtime and won’t be noticeable if all goes to plan. This has a better back up system and is generally all round a much better server.

I apologise for this and when we re start we should be on new forum software. Unfortunetly we may have lost all the posts although we are trying to recover everything.
