The server hosting hstuners went down last night at around 10PM. The techs were unable to figure out how to bring it back up after swapping out various parts because they are no longer using that type of server in their datacenter. Their lousy company policy says they won't help move customer data, and because the server was running on a SCSI drive instead of IDE, they say they could not swap it into another server that has SCSI because there wasn't any available (bs). I restored the backup of the database from 8/14 at around 3 am to a temporary server. So we lost about a day's worth of posts. I'll be ordering a new server from another hosting company and will be moving the site over to it's new home after it has been configured. Sorry about the downtime.
