Site Down Time

Obviously you have noticed that the forums went down for a few days. In case your curious the database server had a power failure and the hard drive borked out. We were able to restore a database from backup to one of my web servers. Unfortunately more recent post and members have been lost. But for now you should be able to continue to use DC from my server while long term plans are ironed out.....
Sorry for any inconvenience....

We could easily have lost everything; fortunately that didn't happen. I think we can survive missing a few weeks of posts.
Thanks for restoring what you could.

Site is back to its normal domain
p.s. If your having problems logging on just delete your cookies.....there are reports that if you still have cookies from dc.net before the site went down that you will have problems logging in.....

Yeah, clearing my cookies fixed the login problem.

Got DC merged with all the old threads we could save (thanks to likeafox). Good to see a lot of the old threads back online.

As always let me know any problems you guys have so I can fix them.

You rock, Jason! But... how come you guys acted like this stuff couldn't be retrieved until now?

Got some of the DB issues that came up from last night fixed. Durring the merge it screwed up a few threads.....But it is all fixed. According to jason this has been going on for a while, but they should all be fixed now :-)
Let me know if you guys find anything not quite right.

I found something - in the birthday section of your profile, there's no month.
