The Code Database is literally behind by one page in resources--discounting whatever was in Submissions at the time. There were only a couple recent requests, though, so that's fortunate. Still a shame to lose all the discussion/contest threads. Really puts everything back.

Unfortunately, things like this do happen. Yes, this is a downside to using a remote host, but whatever. :P We've made it through worse (i.e. me closing the forum.)

I recently, as in two days ago, made a backup of all of the headers/footers coding. Good thing too, huh? I'm restoring that coding now and repromoting Aaron. I can't do anything else until I am home tonight after work and basketball. In the mean time, when you encounter a broken link from the coding update, post it here or in the bugs thread.

Just keep working to make SZ active again and this can be easily forgotten, as much of a shame as it is. :)

Edit: For those curious, we've lost approximately 1,250 posts, 120 threads, and 26 members.

Edit 2: Running out of time. I'm sorry Aaron, but you'll have to wait til tonight to get promoted again. I also won't be restoring the code databases/template databases until I can assess what codes are missing, contact the creators and try to get that fixed. In the mean time, if you notice something you submitted was lost, please post it again. :) It's the first path to recovery.

Is this by any chance related to my rant to you about remote hosting? :P

This is unfortunate, but like people have said.. it happens. Luckily, we only lost a small percentage of our total posts. If PB had no backups whatsoever, it's likely the whole forum would be gone.

Hopefully PB can create some sort of updated backup tool which will keep this from happening in the future.

It's kind of funny though... Hyperboards used to be hosted on PB servers (not sure if it still is, though). They suffered a massive hard drive failure, resulting in a loss of about 40% of the forums. You'd think that changes would be made after something like that happens, even if it was a competing service..

Toshiru: thanks. :) I was going to pm you since I thought you were the only recent submissions actually. Yours were the smiley tut, and then folder, menu, smiley blank PSDs.

Ben: its funny, I was thinking that too. I also love that in both cases they both said "right before the new system deployed"
