Loss

[Alley]

For those of you who have followed the twitter updates, you probably know already this was quite a bumpy road.

For those who didn't follow these developments, essentially the server's raid controller died out of the blue. I'm not going to go into any details, but it was a very exhausting and unpleasant experience that even got me into trouble at work. Either way, we're finally back up and that's what matters.

Unfortunately due to -reasons-, while we have daily backups of the server accounts, it turns out there were no backup system in place for the forum and wiki data. I initially thought we had no backup at all (which means we'd have to restart from zero) I discovered a backup from August 21th back when I was running local tests on my personal dedicated servers. So yup, we've lost a fair bit of forum stuff, but at least we're there.

It's a really bad event for disco, but it could have been much worse. Together, we'll have to rebuild what was lost.
