Pardon the Mess

Posted by: gretchen on Wednesday, June 11th, 2008 in News | 3 Comments

My webhost made the worst possible error last night, running a script and obliterating most of the files from this website as well as my subdomains.  Not only were my files trashed, but apparently the backup files went MIA as well.  I have been working for the last 14 hours straight, trying to get this fixed and at this point I believe I will have everything back and working, but it will take some time.  My media folders and sub-domains are being restored as I type.  The rest of my files and various sections of this site will be pieced together, hopefully before I leave for a family camping trip on Friday.  For now, the forums are down and you may run into some weirdness here and there.  Needless to say, it has been a very stressful day.  I am heading to bed so I can deal with the damage control in the morning.  I apologize for the inconvenience.

    Not looking good here…looks like my image files may have been destroyed as well. I’m still assessing the damage. :(

    Yep – have to piece together my image files. x( The good news is I have the directory structure to work from so I should be able to upload and overwrite the corrupt files. I did find a copy of the smilies, too, so now they are loaded. See —> <:-p Isn’t this fun?
